Description: A weird track. Fixation is the translation of a volatile flammable substance into something solid that resists flame. This is the song I came up with. It’s really neat, if you like floompy modal songs. I get a tiny bit of old NES vibes like Wizards and Warriors.

A very decent D&B track that came together right quickly. I hope you enjoy.

Shortwave

A brief mention of how and why I use AI images to complement the music that I post on SoundCloud. Note that I say images, and not art, because it isn't art, and it isn't intended to be.

AI Images and Music

This takes building a groove to the absurd. 14 drum tracks, 7 pads, 8 "vocal" (sampled) tracks, a guitar, and a flute. That's 31 tracks all slowly added over the course of several minutes. It's a vibe for sure! I haven't even decided on a general reverb level yet. It's so packed maybe we'll keep it clean.

Congelation

What happens when self flows across into will? When the I is dissolved into universal process? What if you have to give up everything precious to you to proceed? Even the concept of preciousness itself? Could you do it?

Sublimation

A brief discussion of song structure and need for it, or lack thereof. Limitations can definitely be a good thing. But sometimes we labor under them without even realizing it.

Notes on the track Momiji from Grooves volume 1. Apologies for the quality I had to adjust for wind noise as I was out when I recorded this. Thanks!

Notes on the track Wanderer which kicks off Grooves volume 2, and a bit on inspiration and the algorithm.

Notes: Wanderer

A short explanation of why I call what I do glitch hop. Whether I'm correct is kind of up to you.

Glitch Hop

Esoteric electronic music producer with an aim to alchemize EDM, hip hop, and chiptune into glitch hop and beyond. I’m a strange multi-historian of music culture, and I collage as well as catalogue. At least, that’s what I do now. But this was not always so.

A strange vision appeared to me once. It seemed to be shaped like a man, but all black. Roundish. Tallish. With two piercing blue eyes gazing at me with seeming expectation. He said his name was Bill. He said he was glad I liked his music. He said if I wanted more I should write it.

Mr. Bill’s insanely gorgeous and catchy music made me realize that any limits I had conceived of simply did not exist. He has blown the secret vault door wide open and just left it off the hinges. It was evidence of alchemy of the most advanced kind I have ever seen. It was inevitable, friends, that I would follow after. That music. It just sounds like home. 😇
