An ongoing project, finishing off tracks that  have been collecting dust and new demos of more recent tunes.

Blaxter Mixdowns

Fairly recent  excursion through dub influenced terrain without the use of traditional Jamaican inspiration.  Written produced at Gehenna Studios over several days using Fruityloops.

Blaxter - Detox (roughmix#4)

This is my own remake of an old song I wrote for a band that evolved from  a high school rock band and reformed with a new drummer when everyone was doing the Uni lifestyle in a bigger city. Will work on this a bit more now I've got a decent tube preamp and can play guitar instead of step writing with MIDI plug-ins.

Blaxter Evol - Fade Away (version)

Inspired by the one thing that takes so much of time away from writing music.
There's some irony in there but I can't be bothered explaining it.
Taking time off work usually requires a med cert but a stat dec is quite sufficient.
Have been lucky enough to license this track for an on-line promotion.


Blaxter Evol - Statutory Declaration

Never quite got round to finishing this one properly, and it probably deserves more attention.

Blaxter Evol - Unveiling (demo)

Completely remade this tune which was produced many years ago, using an old Dr Rhythm Drum Machine and an SP808 Groove Sampler. The programming on the beats always made me cringe and it came to pass that technology caught up with my vision. So here it is nearly a decade later.

Blaxter - I Gotta Go (2008rmx)

OK, this is the original version of the song that I wrote and recorded onto ADAT using loops that were sequenced from an SP808. There's quite a lot instrumentation that was captured in complete live takes. 
Several remixes were compiled onto a promotional EP and one of those versions of this track made it onto one the Indie Hit Discs that NZ On Air distributed to every radio station in New Zealand. 

Blaxter Evol - I Gotta Go (original)

Blaxter Evol -  Fuckedupsitch

BL4XT3R - Bleeding Star (ME)

Produced at Moreland Metal Mansion. First song of a batch of tunes which were written with piano plug-ins instead of sampling guitars.  

As heard on The Eggs'n'Bakey Breakfast Show hosted by Andy Angry on Radio control 99.4FM. 


BL4XT3R - Methicondone

Blaxter is the artistic genius behind a plethora of recordings, performance and installation projects in Melbourne. Defying categorisation and financial advice in order to create sound art individually and with collectives as a performer, DJ, recording engineer and produce who has pioneered unique performance techniques incorporating traditional instruments with electronic composition style transcending any definition based on adjectival discourse by simply naming the sounds. Whilst loathe to use words like Squelch or any other hipster terms, any attempt to classify musical movements within the shifting sands of genre diversification is pretentious. As one genre dies another rises to replace the overused words to elicit hype within elitist collectives of the priviliged participants. The glitchy synth squeeks will not be Squelched.. Nor will they resonate with the trees after the dread locked campers have gone home to their middle class houses. 
Hand over your unused Samplers and remain safe in the knowledge that the pretty people will love the small collection of stupid noises everytime you re-use them and make up a new new song title. The performing artist previously named EVOL doesn't have a record contract to dictate how the business of making music will be conducted.
