COAXENTIRELOT

Math Metal-influenced heavy bass electronic music!
My awesome remix of Gentlemen Hall - "How Long Have They Been Watching" for the Together Boston 2011 remix competition.
Most of the really heavy, bassy sounds are created through granular time-stretching used on a kick drum sample.
The drum'n'bass rhythm at the end is a perceptual illusion which gives the impression of endless acceleration. http://gethighnow.com/risset-rhythm/
Influences: Puzzlhead, Meshuggah, Necrophagist, Cortexelation


Soft Hot and Long (work in progress)

LJ Rich + CJ Carr. Inspiration: Igorrr, Puzzlhead, Beethoven, romantic-era classical music, rave, trap, breakcore.

Reincarnation (breakcore piano ballad) [preview]

Side effects may include dreams of increasing absurdity.

Side effects may include 
blurred vision, 
seeing split-screen, 
loss of eye contact. 
Call your doctor 
if you can't find your eye contact,
if suddenly everyone looks familiar,
if suddenly everyone looks like a bear,
if the tricks your eyes play on you, the other senses are in on it too.

The doctor asks "are the meds helping?"
I say "you're the doctor, you tell me"
He says "ok, let's increase them"
"...let's increase them"

I could've looked it up, what these pills do
I'm hearing these voices,
I'm having these conversations
--no, I'm hosting, I'm hosting these conversations
It's like in my periphery people are talking.
I don't know what they're talking about
Half the time I'm listening, half the time I'm not
but if I go to answer I scare the living shit out of myself

And then I get the help
Help is doors with no handles
Help is rooms without windows
Thinking, speaking entirely in acronyms
It's all keys and locks and laniards and badges,
Asking permission, not minding
The clipboards come around, nope, 
nope, no thoughts of suicide, but 
hello Risperdal
Could you do me a favor and die?
I mean leave me alone.
I mean this medicine's making me mean for no reason...
don't leave me, 
sorry don't leave me.
Have you eaten? 
Have you showered?
Have you tried to take your freckles off?

(someone drew a flower on the wall)

I have a question:
Is it just my head under arrest?
Can the rest of me leave, please?
Am I being arrested for being sad?

Side effects may include
Chair-through wall-smashing fantasies
Chair-through wall-smashing fixation 
Chair-through wall-smashing ideation

Yeah, hi, I have a question:
on which side are the effects?

Hypersisyphus Spiraltrance (Eternal Accelerando Psytrance)

Electronic remix extraordinaire pervaded with Balinese monkey chant, Shepard tone throat singing, arpeggiated guitar shredding, breakcore glitch awesomeness, chiptune arena rock, convolved drones, and hubcap accelerando catastrophe. 

23: Fuck You [Cortexelation remix]

This is a remix of six different @23e songs :
Primarily: 
1) 23's orchestral dubstyle extravaganza remix of Arkasia's New World Disorder

Also takes samples from:
2) 23's remix of Chromeo's Hot Mess
3) 23's remix of Mt Eden's I'll Be There For You 
4) 23's remix of the Lavender Town theme from Pokemon
5) 23's The Fall
6) Cortexelation's remix of 23's Fuck You 

Makes heavy use of echonest segment-timbre analysis, dissociated arrays, and k-means clustering.

I describe in the comments my processes, but I can better explain it to anyone who is interested. :D

23 Mindsplosion (Algorithmic Remix Extravaganza)

Raise the ground
Augment the animals
Collapse into the imagination black hole
Mosh like a metal atom
