![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | [AMR118] Dangerous Rituals - Jon 7 "Dangerous Rituals" is a recording that attempts to depict the feeling of going through some of life's more dangerous rites of passage, lessons learned the hard way, times in which the most innocent creatures must take little a blackening of their soul for the sake of growth and greater development. It is a soundtrack to to some disturbing, enthralling, nightmarish times in my not-too-distant past...

As it often does, life created several distractions, and the piece was only added to bit by bit for over 9 months.

The resulting field recording was subjected to numerous effects processes and melded together in an elongated collage of train sounds. The recording itself was done on a portable cassette recorder with a handheld mike, and the lo-fi recording gave this release a very gritty, rough quality (somewhat reminiscent of the qua...

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | [J7N038] Romania - Jon 7 During work on music videos for FOEM in 2006, I was donated a number of video files taken in Romania, which I was unable to use because of the PAL format. I was able to extract the audio from the files, and this release is a collage of those audio extracts. Many of the recordings were made on a train, so in listening you get a sort of warped scenic tour through Romania, painted largely in processed audio. Downloads: 569 Average rating: (0 review) |
![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | [J7N039] Distant Signals - Jon 7 "Distant Signals" is some of my more ambient, almost new-age style of work. These pieces were largely created as a means of achieving an ultra-peaceful state of mind. All I can really say is that you will enjoy listening to it as you lie back, imagining being a signal passing through space from one node to another, the way i envisioned it while making these tracks.

Both albums are an ocean of sorts, on this one, sounds wash by you the way they might if individual waves in the ocean were made from sound instead of water.

I had been performing in a number of bands previous to this point, and had decided to trade it in for a while for some solo sound exploration. The tracks on this album reflect a number of different sounds and techniques I was using at the time, and it is a fascinating document through an earlier ...

The tracks were mostly created in a couple of afternoons, then 3 months later additional tracks were discovered on a CD i had purposely hidden from myself. They fit the feeling of the others so they were added. The name comes from the idea that when certain pieces of music appear to provide only very minimal amounts of d...

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | [JON7NET003] Ambient Numbers I & II + Remixes - Jon 7 These pieces was created out of assigning harmonically related patterns to MIDI notes determined by dice. I had been reading a book that suggested that no music created from random processes could possibly have a spiritual nature like 'real' music. I accepted that as a challenge right away! The remixes were done later and are just now seeing the light of day on the internet. Keywords: ambient; random; process music Downloads: 953 Average rating: (0 review) |

If you don't like noise, you won't enjoy this one so much, but if you do, enjoy it at high volume, or very low volume. You can put yourself into a trance with it, or let it lull you to sleep, your choice. Keywords: noise Downloads: 773 Average rating: (0 review) |

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | [JON7NET010] Winter Storms - Jon 7 Continuing with the theme of 'Winter music' come these two pieces. The first uses naturally abundant rain sounds to re-create the unsettling power of the heavy Oregon rainstorms. The second is a short snowflake dance in honor of the snow that so rarely falls here in the winter, except on the day the cover pictures were taken, some 2 weeks after the recording was finished.

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | [JON7NET011] Dark Areas - Jon 7 Two long-form ambient pieces somewhat in the style of 'Ambient Numbers' [JON7NET003], using drones, synth arpeggios, and semi-randomized processes. Great pains have been taken to prevent these pieces from being unlistenably repetitive, but the most will be gained by listening to them at night, on the edge of sleep.

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | [JON7NET012] Fields - Jon 7 Three sonic pictures of a walk through nearly-empty fields. these pieces in my mind take me back to places and times as a kid i use to feel very connected, and hoped someday to be able to translate into some form of art. The cover art also takes advantage of the 'wood imagery' that is very prevalent in Oregon, but since there are no lightning bugs here, that comes from my memories of living in the South.

Over the next year and a half we occasionally bumped into each other, each time with him reminding me that he still wanted music. He described the film as being like "Bagdad Cafe", only a bit more gothic.

Although most of the component collages that made up that release were included, this one was left off so that the expanded detail could be heard on its own. This release is much less chaotic than the previous one, and provides a relaxing but stimulating trip through bell sounds.

I had decided that the ocean floor would be the theme I would work with. That inspiration came from DJ Mitch, whose Deeply Deep netlabel had released some music and video of mine, and had as its motto, "exploring the ocean floor of music"...

In the midnight kitchens of Jon7.net HQ, the component sauces of "Sourcery" were combined and modified to create new recipes. Some natural new ones appeared, such as "Steak Marinade" and "Honey Mustard". But as the night wore on, the recipes became stranger, resulting in such edible goodies as "Hot Fish Syrup" and "Tartar Dessert Gravy"...

In the dream this album's concept came from, Jon 7 was walking through an old house where he found a large map indicating the presence of two large towers, towers that didn't actually exist but were indicative of two equipment set-ups that were referred to as the 'blue tower' and the 'red tower'. The concept as it became applied was one of two groups of people, who have settled a new land, built towers and su... Downloads: 843 Average rating: (0 review) |

Each track on "Time" was inspired by a time zone on the North American continent, and the mood of each piece tries in some way to capture some quality, real or imagined, of the geographical areas in each zone. An overall calm and tranquil feeling runs through this release, designed to be just as useful for relaxing the mind as for watch...

Then later he was transported off to a rat farm, given some highly electric lemonade and left to stare up into the night sky. Soon thereafter he was introduced to some new friends who were planning a psy-trance party and he played them his sketches, which impressed them enough to encourage him to create several more tracks in his homemade psy-tran...

At this time in my musical progress, I was working with fairly primitive equipment, and didn't know anyone even in my growing circle of electronic musicians that was capable of or even interested in remixing each other's material.
