Just put my latest album up on bandcamp this weekend, after more than a few months of hemming and hawing : - )
Feels like a spiritual sequel to my last collection Aum Swimming–that album tried to capture the feeling of being on a river coursing slowly towards death–this one shoots for the expanse of the East Pacific and how it’s connected to the rocky shoreline of the West.

Partly inspired by a recent trip to Kauai, partly inspired chance processes, partly inspired by my growing confusion with complexity.
Created with a Eurorack setup: Sisters, JF, Ansible/Grid, Keystep, Magneto, Belgrad, DLD, Rings, Tides, Tx81z, Valhalla delay and more. Thanks for listening!

This latest video was commissioned for the Chaos Party held at It’s Her Factory in London on 28 March 2019 (the night before Brexit as originally scheduled, which is relevant to its content). A short abstract meditation on leaving things behind, taking the form of opt-art animations (created with a Critter & Guitarri B&W Videoscope and Project M) and Soundfont MIDI renditions of old themes with new meanings, plus semi-modular sounds from a Dreadbox Nyx and Volca Modular run through a Bastl Thyme.

Cality on iOS driving my Eurorack in a bluesy sort of way

oof, these progressions are gorgeous. her voice feels so much closer and full than her other records, if that makes sense? not like, just mix-wise. her presence is arresting, beautifully contrasted by the viola.

congrats to you both, excited for this record. are you joining her on the tour?

Thanks! Very glad to hear you enjoyed it!

thanks. yep, i’ll be on the tour :canada: :oncoming_automobile:

I will definitely be at the Toronto show. Would love to say hi.

@bodydouble Lovely sounds here. I’m enjoying the unstable-ness to the way you’ve patched and produced things.

I’m also on a musical journey to confront the reality of death. It’s a difficult journey no matter where you are in the process. Good luck and keep it up!

thank you! I’d love to hear some of how you interpret death in sound.

it’s slightly strange for me to admit, but the dormant metalhead in me created the last collection Aum Swimming as a near-concept album about the preceding few minutes, death, and subsequent journey/eternity of a victim of 1995’s Aum Shinrikyo sarin attacks in the Tokyo subway system.

I’ve been obsessed+worried about death for a while now, and that collection was partly me coming to terms with+expressing the amplification of those feelings that have come with moving to New York two years ago, and its hyper-population (and slammed public transit) that I associate with media coverage of Japan in the 80s and 90s.

this new collection stems from a lot of the same patching techniques but feels slightly less haunted to me, so I don’t necessarily associate this one with death. but that’s not to say it won’t come back soon : - )

Whoa, I’ve never actually heard of that doomsday cult before – seems like great inspiration.

I’m working on a collection of sounds that capture possible moments in our species’ future after some great environmental cataclysm – bleak but looking towards the future. Coming to terms with our possible futures has been the impetus for the whole project.

I’ve also been reading a bit of Ernest Becker’s work on death which creates a meta loop in the act of creativity (if you believe his thesis, that is).

Anyhow, this track is the first on that theme – minimal noise-y sounds made from what’s left of us!

This has promise, methinks.
Working in the All Things Lorre Mill thread but maybe worthy of universal exposure?
Long version later, maybe… This is first 5 mins live.

All sound sources and clocking from Lorre Mill Double Knot and Keyed Mosstone. Clock modulation from NE Integra Funkitus. Mosstone goes through Morphagene. Maths, DK, modulate time, space, etc…

This morning Mr @robinrimbaud posted a reel for the Morphagene & suggested people make music with it

So I did

Ambient textures abound
