Processed jaw harps, an inhuman voice, metallic percussion and field recordings form cold and bizarre soundscapes.
The title was inspired by recent events :D

Benji.Musick - The Latest Constipation Craze

A track based almost entirely on an acoustic improvisation with Paul* Hermansen on flute and me on jaw harp. By using short parts where instruments appear on their own, or overlap in interesting ways, and applying various digital effects, you can get quite interesting results.

A Spiritual Journey Through Ancient Cyberspace

FM munnharpa + glitched Kobold + raw data noises + your mom = ?

The Incertitude Of Indecision

Two wooden sticks, a xylophone, an aluminum bottle, a flower pot and the floor were used to create some wild sounds, then I threw various distortion VSTs on it. There'll probably be more like this coming some time.

Listen on speakers and maybe turn your volume down a bit.

Xylophone Abuse

A Dark Ambient/Industrial version of a Tuvan Folk song. Big thanks to Sid for the vocals!

Kongurei

Tried something new since I got a new VST synth...
Two sample loops in Tone2 Electra with automated effects + some glitches from the Tone2 Gladiator.

Alternative Brain Surgery

Spent a relatively large amount of time on this track, and it was at times challenging for my old FL11. It started as some glitchy saw wave experimentation, and evolved into this melodic-but-harsh, Post-Techno thing.

Brain-Sawing, Genital-Consuming Extraterrestrial Beings

The jaw harp (also jew's harp, German "Maultrommel" - literally "mouth drum") might be one of the most unsuitable named instruments in both the German and English language (possibly in other languages too, lemme know if it's called sth interesting in yours), as it is neither a harp, nor a drum. 

This is my first attempt to make glitchy musick exclusively based on jaw harp sounds (which I all recorded myself, as usual).

Not a harp, not a drum, but indeed in my ḿ̸̯̲͙̼͑o̸͙̒̆̓͌͜u̶͉̾́t̴͖̟̊̂̿̂h̸̰̘̪͓͔̓̎͗̀̈́

Sometimes, a brain just needs a good washing.

Thanks to Jon for the album art.

There are like three jaw harp samples in there, can you find them all? ;)

Washing My Brain (With Soap)

More Dub Techno, this time rather fuzzy with more distortion. Cave vibes.

Deep Underground

Another atmospheric Techno track, this time with a length more appropriate for the genre. The jaw harps return, the jar lids fall down the stairs, and you are slowly losing control of your brain...

Enjoy!

Delayed Brain Control

Nice and dark atmospheric Techno, nocturnal vibes. Wait until it's dark, put on headphones, go on a walk. Observe the sleeping world.
