Attention!

This is the shorter version of a much longer track to be titled "Dr. Locrian's Asylum," from the forthcoming album Exhibits from the Imaginary Museum, a collection of music inspired by the works of Thomas Ligotti (<a href="http://www.ligotti.net">http://www.ligotti.net</a>).

Some neat info about this composition: it's primarily in A Locrian, though centered around the D. The restatement of the main theme at the end, though, is in D Locrian for a somewhat odd, unbalanced feeling. The main theme was created by assigning the degrees of the A Locrian mode to the letters of the alphabet, starting with octave 4 and going up to octave 7. Then, I spelled out the name DR HARKNESS LOCRIAN using the assigned notes. And that's where the melody prettymuch came from!

This is the first track from the forthcoming A Doctrine of Works album The Pimp's Gambit! It's a little house, a little IDM, a little metal, a little glitchy...and a LOT fucked-up! 

A Doctrine of Works - Dick Butt-Kiss

aRvin Clay is my boy: he's not only a genius when it comes to programming synths to create the most outlandish sounds I've ever heard, he can sculpt audio into alien soundscapes that deform the fabric of spacetime. This track was an attempt to create a song that sounds like something *he* would write! It's a mixture of spastic beats, eerie synth textures, paleoindustrial noises, and shattered loops. Part of the "For My Peeps" series of tracks dedicated to various friends, influential artists, and hot chicks. Done entirely in Renoise 2.5.

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.

Inspired by the first Deadpool movie. We originally recorded this in 2016, but never got it past the vocal demo stage. I hope to revisit it someday!

Feedback, anyone? I've never before posted a work in progress, mainly because I've never before worked this hard on something--but I've been studying music theory and orchestration lately, and have been pushing the envelope of my own and my softsynths' musical capacity. This track is the lead to an album which will be called Exhibits from the Imaginary Museum, a collection of soundtrack pieces based on the fiction of Thomas Ligotti. Since my favourite Ligotti story is "Dr. Locrian's Asylum," most of the pieces on the album are in the Locrian mode--the most beautifully dissonant and off-kilter mode of them all! Anyway, if y'all have any comments, please throw 'em at me! Also, the only reason THIS track is not available for download is because it's unfinished--the finished version will be downloadable as always!

Derek C. F. Pegritz - Overture to Exhibits from the Imaginary Museum

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/).
