July

Emmanuel was once presented a powerful gift.
The gift’s power lay in pain, in nightmare.
It was a heavy burden,
this human condition,
Emmanuel begrudgingly accepted.


A sonic meditation on restrained randomness. This ambient dronescape glides along in a long, weaving flow of tamed randomality. Hints of chaos gently emerge and submerge in the soothing currents of drones and soundscapes. The overall effect lands somewhere between the freedom of randomness and the stability of structure. Or as the artist puts it – a “long flowing weave of tamed ramdomality.” :~)Claude.ai

Shrine of Shattered Dreams

Some days I ruminate on it all ending. Like, just can’t it be over yet? Other days I’m happy to be alive. Currently I’m worried about a friend, and I don’t know if I’ll be able to function until I know if they’re OK. Please be OK.

Cosmic Overload: Noise from the Abyss


[Download: audio | video | cover images]

In the midst of sensory overload, there is a symphony of chaos that drowns out all else. It is as if every sound in the universe is colliding together in a cosmic battle for dominance. The listener becomes lost in the layers of noise, unable to distinguish one sound from another, until they are enveloped in a drone that reverberates through every fiber of their being.

This sonic exploration is an experiment in sound design, a meditation on the power of noise to overwhelm the senses. It is a long-form journey through evolving textures and hypnotic rhythms that draw the listener deeper and deeper into the soundscape. Each element of the piece is carefully crafted, from the minimalistic patterns that create a sense of structure amidst the chaos, to the binaural recordings that create a sense of spatialization and immersion.

As the listener surrenders to the hypnotic waves of sound, they enter a state of deep listening, where each individual element of the piece becomes more distinct and vibrant. The sounds are evocative of a cosmic journey, where the listener is transported to the edges of the universe, where the laws of physics and logic break down and anything is possible.

In this state of sensory overload, the mind becomes overwhelmed, unable to distinguish between reality and imagination. It is a theory of mind that challenges the listener to explore the boundaries of perception and understanding, to question what is real and what is imagined.

And as the journey comes to a close, the listener emerges from the sonic exploration, changed and transformed by the experience. The symphony of chaos has left an indelible mark on their soul, a reminder of the power of sound to transport us to otherworldly realms and challenge our perceptions of reality.
