Sacrilegious K: The Traitor (the profane, the disturbed, the wrong)

[Download: audio | video | cover images]

A tritone sine wave is duplicated, phase inverted, and offset from the original at 1 ms per quarter note. The result is converted to MIDI twice with slightly different parameters for each. These MIDIs are played through the same virtual instrument. The four tracks are stitched together in reverse creation order.

Kozai Mechanism


[Download: audio | video | cover images]

Gracie the cat visits for us for this spooky dronescape filmed in rural east texas and featuring fieldrecordings from various urban and rural areas of north central texas.

It’s taken me over a year to release this one. I worked on it on and off from May 2018 to October 2019. The video clips are from June and December 2017. I ran into a paradox of choice. I had too many titles, and too many versions to choose from, and froze. In coming back to it I decided to just release the last file that was tagged and touched. That was easy, wish I’d thought of that before.

The Dark Faerie Will Eat Your Soul

[Download: audio | video | cover images]

All my recordings are infested with cicadas. So fuck it, I made a track incorporating the damn things instead of trying to cancel them out. Everything you hear here was seeded from the same 3-ish minute clip of cicadas.

Almost Transparent Pink Alternate Cut

[Download: audio | video | cover images]

This isn’t so much of a remix, as it is an unmix—I removed the backing layer from the first release, which originally going to be just this track…but then I started working on the video, I fell in love its audio track, so I added it in to give the composition a transparent feeling.
The pink noise layer holds its own, and perhaps others will find it easier to incorporate into their own projects.
The video has also been updated to fit the track better.
