More eletronic mixes of minimal repeating musical phrases morphing from ambient soundscapes into electronic groove presentations of pop culture, history and scifi inspired improvisations created with leftover tracks from the old software that were too complex to export and remix in reaper so I just finished them off.
Track 1 evolves from a simple beat built from a vintage Electroharmonix drum machine enhanced with other drum, human and percussion sounds along with droning indian microtonal passages played with a paax built instrument I mapped myself. Some organic elements and spoken word build up with some traditional minimal instrumentation until the final meditative jounrney terminates in a resonating echo of thought.
Track 2 is based on chaos and is built upon the percussive foundation of an old Roland PB300 drum machine and blends 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures to create a syncopating foundation for dissonant sonic sculpture elements of pop culture and historial events both obvious and subconscious with breaks of harmonic order and and sanity and strict order for cohesion to reality. Tempo and time signatures meet at cyclical points to frame the different elements into a related work of sound as the mind tries to connect and make order of the chaos.
Track 3 is a two part representation of the minimal repetition of destruction and the organic complexity of rebirth and renewal. From selections of my Freesound samples and sounds obtained from researching audio translations of seismological recordings of earthquakes and actual sounds recorded during earthquakes with traditional techniques, the minimal ambient foundation is built for the addition of other basic but richly textures musical phrasing. Topping this off is eastern inpired world sounds over retro looping musical elements and includes, among other things the largest pipe organ in the world from the old Atlantic City convention center with a familiar haunting outro.

I really like these songs. I feel like they would be a very good soundtrack for a surrealist movie like Eraserhead.

lovely lovely...
1. Gotta love them drones, sounds like Stereolab slowed waaay down, in a good way.
2. I love time signature trickery, good show. Geat tones all around.
3. My favorite of these three. At first it was just creeping me out. I always thought a whole piece could be built entirely out of Nature Sound Samples, and you almost did it here. Then, I got my smile going with the Bootsy's Robot Band meet's Bach's Toccata and Fugue uptown sequence...what a spectacular and classy use of samples. Hats off!
