“Crystal Radio” is 4 track album released in 2022.  The central thread related to how time and life flow in an unpredictable pattern, but within boundaries. Lines are created based on decisions we make, big or small.  How different would someone’s life change based on these decisions?  Even say, stopping or not stopping to have a drink at a water fountain, decades previously. Everything after would have been jostled around, but with what impact?  

Two previous tracks have used this theme. ‘Silica Daughter’ appears on the 2021 project “Cloktacs III” and uses a sample where the question is asked, “You won’t fail me will you?”.  Later in 2021, samples from the 90-year-old movie ‘Back Street’ were repurposed to create a radio play called ‘Back Lane’ which will be aired as part of the 2022 Radiophrenia event in Scotland. The storyline of the movie follows a chain of events set in motion by a simple decision that alters the lives of the characters completely, forever, and ends in a cl

A lonely piano sits in a room on a damp night, playing to the dark. 

Through the window pane, morning starts to break. Towards the horizon, the pale blueness of a clear sky appears through wide breaks of the clouds. The fading light of the brightest stars brings the hope of a bright dawn, of a new day, of the sun.

Thanks for listening. Hope you enjoy.

Burn/Born (Belzebuth 1.0 project)

This is the closing track off of "Hyphae", a collection of tracks I made with fellow ambient guitarist Wodwo (Ray Robinson -- https://soundcloud.com/user-364196783-552705040). 

It all started with discovering each other’s work on Soundcloud and grew into a lively exchange of ideas and sketches. With both being on a quest to take the less obvious sonic route, always searching for the uncommon guitar sound, and their fondness for spacious and slightly unsettling ambient compositions, the sessions were kickstarted with the appropriately titled "Germ", which gestated into what became the first completed track of this long-distance collaboration between Munich and Derby. 

The title for the second track, "Hyphae" came to mind after reading Merlin Sheldrake’s fascinating “Entangled Life”. It seems apt to draw parallels between the massive mycorrhizal fungi hyphae networks (the "Wood Wide Web") that connect different species of plants and transport substances and information between them, and the to and fro of abstract layers of sonic matter that passed between the two musicians. 

The collection closes with "Simulacrum", probing the terrain where a bright major key tonality coalesces with a bit-crushed low-end undercurrent. And despite what your ears might lead you to believe, no keyboards or synths were used in any of this music! 

Hyphae is also available from Wodwo's Bandcamp page: rayrobinson.bandcamp.com/album/hyphae

Hyphae

Simulacrum  [Out now on "Hyphae" by Wodwo & encym]

A few years back I made a track called ‘Dreamwerk’ and this piece takes some ideas from it and dresses itself up dubstep fashion.

Not one for strict genre compliance, it is almost accidental that I’ve made anything even close to dubstep.

Had a bit of a nightmare with the wobble bass and some timing issues with the midsection of the arrangement, but the rest fell together fairly easily.

This was purposefully made with as few bells and whistles as possible, so as not to overcomplicate the mix, giving (with any luck) a more raw yet humble result. Hope it doesn’t come across as lazy…

If this stirs your cauldron, then your ‘like’, comment and repost would be most welcome. Massive thanks in advance!
