Music for punching holes; blurring the edges. Haunted houses, haunted streets; continual and utter derangement of the senses. The alleys of excess shall lead to the palace of wisdom. Open yr dreams with a rusty steel can, open yr mind, and let inspiration flow like dark honey.

J simpson - strange angels

ephemera. bits and bobs from seasons past. blowing out some cobwebs, facing old demons, dagger in hand.

Housecleaning

Here's a collaboration i worked on, a while back, with my old friend James Eric, who plays under the name Garden On A Trampoline (GOAT). I sent him some dreamy synthesizer ambience, created using Absynth, and he composed and orchestrated. Comes off sounding like Ghosts-era Nine Inch Nails.
Jim and i have been friends since we were both snivelling goth children, bonding over The Smiths and The Cure. He's been consistently cranking out chunes, in one project or another, this whole time, and i had quite a bit of catching up to do. It has been an honor and a pleasure, to know him, and to work with him. You can check out his tracks on here, also.


StarDrone w/ GOAT

originally intended for a david lynch tribute, ended up here instead. Might end up tweaking it a bit. Great fun making this, though, nice to put myself in the twin peaks headspace again.

re: at a hoarder's house in Colorado on a hand-held recorder. Voice cracks and crumble. Nick Drake is my hero. Guitar tuning is B - E - B - E - B - E. I learned this song on my 30th birthday.

Fly (Nick Drake cover)

this was a sound collage i made in 10.10, around Halloween, to post on jsheaven. Mixture of field recordings, some svarte greiner, and some horror movie ambiance. I kind of forgot it existed. Remember it being pretty creepy shit.
