An homage to the awesome Alan Parsons and one of THE most influential tracks for me ever - a lovingly crafted cover version of the track MAMMAGAMMA from the seminal album Eye in the Sky. 

No copyright infringement intended - just pure thanks and love for ever having created this wonderful track :-)

MATRIX BRUTE & MEE BLIP NOISE IMPROV

Modular Studio Jam - ambient.

The first track from recent project "CASE2 : subversion therapy", SPRUCHNUMMER is a modular synth recording, taken from a series of improvisations captured over Christmas 2018. An exploration of noise, repetition and a loss of form and melody are the theme of the project, which is available in full form on my bandcamp, both in digital and audio cassette formats. https://ian-o.bandcamp.com/album/case2-subversion-therapy

SPRUCHNUMMER

2nd track taken from new modular improv project "CASE2 : subversion therapy". Its at this point that all sense of is lost in noise...not without pattern and repeat. Proximity to chaos has a grounding effect - if you let it. Enjoy.

MELENTROPY

Taken from the Orphant EP, 'Lines' is a love song, with words and EVERYTHING! A bit of a departure for me. The project was designed to pull together a number of 'orphan' tracks that had been produced for one reason or another. The whole project can be downloaded for free here: https://ian-o.bandcamp.com/album/orphant

Lines

An old track for me, brought back to life on my compilation of old material 'relics'. Full album, available for free, here:

VIew from a plane.

Taken again from the EP 'Orphant' (available here for free: https://ian-o.bandcamp.com/album/orphant), John Peddie was a fun track, written about my friend JP who used to be the front man of the most punk band I ever knew - Cephas. Enough said.

John Peddie

45 minute improvisation with the beautiful instrument that is the SOMA Lyra8 Organismic synth.

My work with void_null has taught me the value of live improvisation and trusting in the moment...which is not always easy with electronic instrumentation. The Lyra8 is an instrument that's been designed almost specifically for this purpose, with no presets, and an almost practical inability to be able to repeat or re-tread the sounds you've just explored. 

This is the result of a 45 minute improve, one take, no edits.
