Formerly cyberpunk ambient / dark space, but for some reason spotify has decided that title is a violation of its ToS? All hail the algorithms... (to be fair, nonsensical algorithmic persecution is as dystopian cyberpunk as it gets). currently feat: Hadam

all sounds were created and designed using only the source recording of mashing oatmeal in my hands.

all sounds were created and designed using only the source recording of latex gloves.

today also marks my halfway point in my everyday project. my first sound was uploaded on May 1st 2013. Halfway there.

We are all little oceans. Oceans that grew legs and walked out of their ancestor ocean. Those ancient microscopic ecosystems evolved into the organs and compartments of our bodies. When our little ocean bag is disrupted or fails to maintain equilibrium, we die with it.

And Earth’s ocean is merely one tiny, surface-clinging glimpse of the oceans that can be found throughout our solar system, our galaxy, and the universe as a whole. If we explore the ice moons of our solar system or spread humanity to other stars, these will be encounters between different oceans.

Other Oceans is a meditation on what’s possible for life, as captured in these simple facts: the cosmic distribution of our sister chemical processes. Available for pre-order now on BandCamp.

Sound recordings from "Teufelsberg" (German for Devil's Mountain) Listening station Berlin Germany. Short excerpts from the high tower dome trying to capture the most amazing spatial reverb echos from this most unusual structure.Various impacts, glass breaks, wooden clanks recorded at 24-bit 96kz with a Zoom H4N. Note: that some distant birds and wind can be heard through some of the recordings. This was due to some of the small holes in the ceiling structure, allowing some slight outside bleed.

Field Recordings from Teufelsberg Listening Station Berlin, Germany

The third album from the Sabled Suns 21xx series about a man awoken from hibernation to a world in ruins, takes us through the third year 2147. A shattered man self taught to survive in the harsh world left empty by it's predecessors, only it's mechanical children left behind. The protagonist journeys through a burned out world towards the Outer Zones and the rumored space center there, in search for answers. 

This album is available in digital 24 bit FLAC uncompressed and has a High Dynamic mastering for audiophiles.

Fading Skies (Klavier)

When the fleet entered the Vaskania system, they had known for some time their target world no longer had water on its surface. Crossing from interstellar space into the system’s heliosphere, automated harvesters mined comets and small icy worlds in the outer belt for propellent and affixed small thrusters to many of these bodies. Over the next few hundred years, short burns from those thrusters adjusted the orbits of these small bodies so that they would collide with the surface of Vaskania Prime. The earliest machines to colonize the world had already landed and restructured much of the ground surface to force the flow of the incoming water into two large rivers that would form a new boundary around the habitable strip.

Cinematic Composition

In physics, mass–energy equivalence is the concept that the mass of a body is a measure of its energy content.
This concept states that mass is a property of all energy and energy is a property of all mass, and the two properties are connected by a constant: the speed of light. To Einstein, mass–energy equivalence is a consequence of the relativistic symmetries of space and time.
In "Mass & Energy", thus, this concept is explored musically.
The interactions between sound material and the musical structures are a consequence of the 'energy' of the musical gesture. And, as a consequence, the spatial localization of the sounds reflects the intensity of this interactions.
This work was created at CIME - Centro de Investigação em Música Electrónica (Center for Research in Electronic Music), at the University of Aveiro, Portugal.

This work received the Honorable Mention at the Concurso Latinoamericano de Composición Electroacústica Gustavo Becerra Schmidt, promoted by the Comunidad Electroacústica de Chile CECh, in the year 2012.
