The Assignment: Make a piece of music that combines self-contained minimalist parts.

The idea for this piece was to have, on the one hand, some looping/repeating audio, and on the other hand looping/repeating audio effect automation. And then to create a piece on the fly by routing the audio into the effects channels, using a ‘matrix mixer’.
And then the hope was to have all of these patterns - patterns of played notes and patterns of changing effects - interact in interesting and unexpected, emerging, minimal-music like, ways.
Which, listening back, maybe happens… in some places… a little? But generally: not so much. 

That said, I’m not unhappy with the thing that came out of this little experiment. The piece has an interesting atmospheric feel to it, I think, not in the least due to the fact that I had the window open when recording (playing the bass part live while at the same time doing the routing of the audio). The wind and street noises - cars, seagulls - coming in and being fed into the effects chains, work rather well.

Los Angeles musician, songwriter and multimedia artist Lola G. aka DEATH HAGS has created a genre-bending world of dreamy noir pop, dark ambient, and experimental electronic music that some fans have called Future Sound of Dystopian Romance. She directs her own music videos, mixing experimental film with digital manipulation and found footage in the style of French New Wave director Chris Marker.

Following a dog bite over the winter solstice, three days of hallucinations gave birth to a project called BIG GREY SUN. Part grimoire, part hermit dream, BIG GREY SUN has since expanded to a constellation of albums, lathe-cut 7" vinyl, monthly shows on CAMP Radio and releases on blockchain platforms. 

Death Hags has toured North America and Europe, playing festivals like @SXSW, @popmontreal, Echo Park Rising and Savannah Stopover. Her music has been featured on Amazing Radio, KEXP and Bandcamp Daily as well as films by Christophe Honore and Steven Soderbergh. She recently scored the film Mirror Moves and her song Metal Teeth was featured in the critically acclaimed documentary Queens of Pain. 

She stopped touring in 2021 to go live in the woods near New York City and finish BIG GREY SUN.

During the early 1990s I studied Mathematics and Computer Science. The world wide web was still largely text-based and mostly empty. Today things are obviously different, though I still thoroughly enjoy art, design, cinema and music in all its forms. I have traveled all over the world for nearly two decades, visiting just over 140 countries. Japan is my favorite. All of this I attempt to incorporate into my music and art.

Abstract sample sculptures, minimal/maximal, weird beats, broken ambient.
