I'm completely obsessed with this piece! I can't stop listening to it.

The album Gaslighting I: Prologue - MindGame represents the opening chapter of a seven-part series, each part promising to dive deeper into the intricate web of manipulation, power, and perception. 

The Concept of Gaslighting

At its core, gaslighting is a psychological manipulation technique where a person or entity sows seeds of doubt in an individual or group, making them question their memory, perception, or reality. This phenomenon is central to the album’s thematic exploration, but it extends beyond the personal to encompass societal, cultural, and existential dimensions.

The title MindGame reflects the essence of this manipulation. It is a prelude to the series' larger narrative arc—a prologue that sets the stage for a complex interplay of deceit, self-doubt, and eventual revelation. By framing the album as the beginning, the artist invites listeners to embark on a journey through layers of deception, trust, and empowerment.

MindGame I

Dr. Penelope Modius , created by Madeline Bailey, is a mad scientist in search of a new purpose in life after a lifetime of tragic events befall her. These tracks are only a portion of some the work that I put into the series.

This piece plays with the listener’s sonic expectations of what is familiar by fusing sounds, which a person can easily recognize, with new previously unheard sounds generated by algorithmic processing. By using various sounds and sonic artifacts that are common to the human experience, the work directs the listener to draw upon his inner visual associations with specific sounds and paint a mental soundscape of the acoustic experience. The introduction of other, unfamiliar processed sounds into the composition, invites the listener to break away from this familiar associative chain of acoustic phenomena and push the boundaries of his perception, in the process forming new sonic combinations and auditory experiences.
The musical piece was fully recorded and compiled in the Tonshoom Studio in April 2020. Some sounds were recorded using musical instruments, sound props, and speech; others were synthesized with SuperCollider. The final track was mixed down in Pro Tools and WFSCollider.

Therapeutic Approach Of Woodwork

In September the trees shake their knees,
This is the sound
As they fall to the ground.

Matsunaga Teitoku (1571-1654) was an early haikai poet and founder of the Teimon school of poetry, which aimed to make haikai accessible to a wide audience while striving to make it a respectable literary form. A task ultimately accomplished by Bashō.
