![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | 1st iZ LaZt - The Daevellation Suite - Dimaension X The Daevellation Suite - this is actually the last of four exclusively MIDI/synth albums that I composed in 2000-2001. I decided it was time to re-do these with real guitars and bass, better drums, and far superior symphonic sounds. Stylistically, it is a return to my "less metal" music, yet with almost no guitar solos, except for the final song. - It is a symphonic ensemble record, focusing more on the mood and atmosphere of the music in general, rather than on heavy riffs or solos...

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Aetherial Art of Decay - Dimaension X An amalgam of Free-jazz-improv and extreme metal. Imagine Bill Laswell and Marc Ribot or the late Sonny Sharrock jamming with Gene Hoglan at The Knitting Factory with Dimmu Borgir's Mustis providing sporadic symphonic synthesizer arrangements. Sort of. All of this new music is pretty much improvised and recorded on first or second take, with a few overdubs of some extra synths or guitars here and there...

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Bryson's Universe - Dimaension X Progressive Space Blues Fusion! A song cycle based on Bill Bryson's great book, "A Short History of Everything". A combination of Ozric Tentacles, Tangerine Dream, Hawkwind, Frank Marino, Sonny Sharrock, Pink Floyd? These long jams are comprised of a bunch of smaller jams that have been spliced together to form longer songs. Each smaller section is based on a chapter from the book. Find it, read it, and take another look at the very galaxy we all live in as you listen to this music. Keywords: Progressive; Rock; Space; Fusion; Blues Downloads: 5,736 Average rating: (1 review) |
![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Cyberthief Strikes Again - Dimaension X Cyberthief Strikes Again - This is my first recording from 2004 where I began using Cakewalk 2004, better software, and the Johnson J-Station guitar pre-amp/processor. I did a lot of cover tunes in this one, including parts of songs from Frank Zappa, Rogers & Hammerstein, Led Zeppelin, Darkthrone, Queen, The Sweet, Slayer, Motley Crue, Metallica and Focus. Plenty of odd blast-beats, weird riffage, too-long guitar solos, etc... Keywords: Dimaension X; Cyberthief Downloads: 256 |
![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Deus Fetor, pt2 - Dimaension X This recording was done soon after Loco-Motives, except without the wacky voice samples and with the old equipment back in June of 2003. Old General MIDI sounds from my computer's actual soundcard, and guitar thru my Johnson J-Station, which sounds suprisingly good! A bit less humorous without the weird voice samples, but also a bit better, no "jaunty" piano songs, or overly extended meandering (well, a little bit...)

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Ambient - Dimaension X This series of recordings was done solely on synths and keyboards, no guitars or bass, strictly as an ambient set of space music, all improvised as it was being played, except for two songs that have some drum beats. Thats' it. I just sat at the keyboard, picked a few sustaining synth sounds, and started playing whatever came to mind.

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | End of an Era - 2005 - Dimaension X This is the last of my recordings with the Johnson J-Station guitar processor and Roland Virtual Sound Canvas. I'm still a bit Zappa-influenced here (various marimbas and extended guitar solos), but the music is still a bit heavy, progressive and odd. I perform a cover of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", in a more "metallic" format, along with some Beatles hidden in a reggae-ish guitar solo section.

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Gothambia Redux - Dimaension X A dark and moody mix of progressive rock and jazz fusion. A mix of old and new songs. Guitar and piano solos. Real bass guitar. What else? Intro, Outro and Justification are completely new songs. VM, VB, and Tempo Volare were originally on my “End of and Era” album (2005), but I never liked how the drums sounded on any of the songs, so I took my favorite songs from it and re-recorded them from scratch...

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | I Am Become Daevel - Dimaension X "I Am Become Daevel" - the new album, something old, something new ... the years 2000 - 2001 were musically interesting, ... I was discovering some new bands (to me, anyway - Emperor, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Krisiun, Enslaved, Gorguts, Nevermore, Arch Enemy, Opeth, Sigh, Darkthrone, Children of Bodom, and AYREON!!) and experimenting with Drop-D tuning on a 4-string guitar (a la Max Cavalera) This album is the result of my discoveries and experimentation- all of the "metal" sections were c...

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Dimaensia Nexus - Improvisations for the Ancient Ones - Dimaension X A bit of a side-project for Dimaension X (hence the name "Dimaensia Nexus"). This project is kind of a cross-hybrid of technical death metal/grindcore, with some ambient synths and free jazz improvisation. The drums were played/programmed first, but with no idea of what I would then do with guitar or bass or synths. I then when back and improvised guitar processed thru an octaver to get that unison guitar-bass sound...

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Laws of Repulsion - Dimaension X This album is my return to my love of free-form jazz-rock-fusion and improvisation. My tribute to some of my old favorites - Sonny Sharrock, Bill Laswell, Last Exit, Miles Davis, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Greg Ginn's Gone project, Joe Morris - and some new ones - Nels Cline, Marc Ducret, Marc Ribot, Gregg Bendian, and too many more to mention. Basically, the music is in the form of a guitar/bass/drums power trio with some extra synthesizers sparsely added here and there to spice up the intros, outro...

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Leprosia Doom - Dimaension X An instrumental "concept album" - heavy drone-doom metal - minimal feeding-back guitars, simple bass, heavy drums, based on bands like Khanate, Sunn O))), Jesu, but not quite as heavy or down-tuned. Very simple and droney, but a few pieces are of my more common style, with improvised guitar solos, and spacey synths. A few might even be considered heavy metal, or death metal.

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Loco-Motives 2003 - Dimaension X This is an older CD I recorded in 2003 when I still was using Cakewalk Home Studio 7 (only 4 audio tracks!!) Lots of "bouncing" and grouping audio files. I was experimenting with Blast-beats and Samples from some weird video games. It's sort of Instrumental Progressive Death-Thrash, but not really, but maybe more?? No Cover Art for this one, ... sorry folks. All instruments except Guitar are from the General MIDI sound library available on most computers back a few years ago...

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | The Doom 2 Variations - Dimaension X The Doom 2 Variations - A Tribute to Bobby Prince - - A re-creation of the Doom 2 Videogame soundtrack, with some minor variations in the basic song arrangements, instruments, etc. These songs are all basically created from the original MIDI files that are easily available just about anywhere you search on the Internet. However, due to re-formatting from the game, the notes are no longer properly "sync-ed" to any proper "beats-per-minute" tempo setting, so I really had to do some serious editing...

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Ugotllathath - The Sound of the End of the Universe - Dimaension X Minimal Metal Drone meets Maximum Drum Seminar is the best way to describe this experimental and improvisational recording. Simple sustaining guitar and synth chords over blasting drums. A combination of "Leprosia Doom" and "Aetherial Art of Decay". A few freeform guitar solos here and there, but I would describe this recording as a "drummer's album". Plenty of technically precise blast beats, thundering double bass drums, drum solos, crisp cymbal work and refined halftime dirges are the showcas...

This was a fun interview that I did with Valerie Sampson, a local DJ at WCUW 91.3 Worc., MA, a small all-volunteer community radio station. Her show features interviews with local musicians who come in to talk mainly about their influences and inspirations in music... Downloads: 31 Average rating: (0 review) |
