A meditation track comprised of various weird noises.

Industrielle

STILL MILL is Derek C. F. Pegritz.
Derek C. F. Pegritz is STILL MILL.

Spooky industrial witch-house from a past quickly vanishing.

STILL MILL - Immaterial Girl

A dreamy new STILL MILL track for late-night post-industrial hallucinations.

STILL MILL - A New Face

Another STILL MILL track for yinz to enjoy!

While We Wait For Love

STILL MILL - While We Wait For Love

The first time I heard this stupid song, I was like, "You've GOT to be shitting me. THIS is what hiphop has become!?" It was so awful I knew I simply *had* to do a creepy-ass serial-killerish version of it! And here it is.

Wait (The Whisper Song)

Ever wondered what Radiohead's "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" would've sounded like if it had been produced by John Carpenter in 1982? SURE you have! Well, wonder no more.

Derek C. F. Pegritz - Street Spirit (Fade Out) (Carpenter 1982 Mix)

I finally got around to watching The Witch the other day, and of course I immediately became obsessed with it--particularly the devilish goat Black Phillip. (I've always wanted a black goat to name Baphomet, but looks like he'll have a different name now!) Since Walpurgisnacht was just a few days away, I threw this piece together and am releasing it hopefully in time for wicked old hags and seductive vixens to dance to upon the Brocken. You want witch-house? THIS IS WITCH HOUSE.

Oh, and this track isn't for tree-hugging Wiccans and other practicioners of the modern Art--this is all about *oldskool* witchcraft as depicted in the film The Witch and New England folklore...so expect plenty of devil-worship, malefice, and the sacrifice of innocents. So pucker up and KISS THE GOAT!

Here are the lyrics, if you're interested. I made them deliberately as cheesy and spoopy as possible:

Black Phillip

Dost thou want to live deliciously?
Sipping honeyed win from a silver cup
If thou wilt only render unto me
thy name upon this page in thy precious blood

Dost thou wish to see the greater world?
of cities golden in those fabled lands
beyond this cold and dark and hungry shore
take up thy pen and I shall guide thy hand

Now go thee out into the darkest wood,
cut a branch and wet it from thy womb
and it will carry thee across the sky
across the seething sea, across the blackened moon

On Brocken high the fires guide thee down
now take thy place among thy sisters from all the world around,
comely maiden, matron, and withered crone
assembled here to worship on a field of bones

Behold thee now before thee the rampant sabbat goat
bring forth the sacrificial child and cut its throat
that I may slake with innocent blood my eternal thirst
and give thee power in return over all the earth 

Much I give but much I ask of thee
so dry thy tears and stand against the sky
thy shadow cast must darken all ye   see
from only darkness can thee conjure light 

Derek C. F. Pegritz - Black Phillip (Walpurgisnacht Mix)

This is a demo for part of the Flesh Interface "soundtrack" I'm currently feverishly stitching together. If you wonder what it sounds like to be sliced into various intersecting physical dimensions, well...here you go.

Flesh Interface (iii: Segmentation)

Leyla Fahada (http://www.myspace.com/leylafahada) is one of the most beautiful, sweet, and talented women I've ever had the distinct pleasure to meet. She's a bellydancer in the Washington, DC area, and is an amazing dancer. I met her in October of 2008 when she danced at the wedding of two very dear longtime friends, and I was enraptured within minutes. I still am. She's not only a wonderful dancer, she's also a wonderful person.
  
This track, transliterated as "Bekol basata, madarsh asheel enaya mennek wenty eb tor'osy," means, in Egyptian Arabic, "I love to watch you dance" (well, more or less). I wrote it especially for Ms. Fahada. It's a combination of sultry sha'abi rhythms, smokey synths, and a touch of cinematic drama--the kind of music you'd expect to hear playing in a Delta casbah in the year 2050 as some gorgeous young woman with hazel eyes dances like the earthly avatar of Wadjet herself.
  
Writing this piece has, incidentally, inspired me to start work on a series of related "futuristic Egyptian" songs that will be released under the title _eGypt_ sometime this year.

العزيف - بكل بساطة مأدرش أشيل عنية منك و انتي ابترؤصي

Inspired by Thomas Ligotti's "The Dreaming in Nortown." Good soundtrack for destructive ritual workings, curses, hexes, etc.

Glimpsing the inferno with eyes of ice

Faith (A Mistake)

Derek C. F. Pegritz is not a band. He is barely even a person. He makes "music" by stitching millions upon millions of 1s and 0s together by hand using a patented process involving lots of really, really tiny wires. These audio sculptures can sound like grinding, despondent ambient groans or twitchy, glitchy beat salads--or, usually, both at once. Pegritz is a proud user of Renoise 2.5 (http://www.renoise.com), Ableton Live (http://www.ableton.com) and Camel Audio VST plugins (http://www.camelaudio.com/).
