002A Update

I’ve updated my track 002A, it’s now louder and brighter.

I’m wondering if I should drop it into my podcast feed as a new track, or if I should update the original post with the louder versions.

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.
