Spectacular Vernacular (Mono/Poly Remix)

THAVIUS BECK "Spectacular Vernacular" (Mono/Poly Remix)

It was a challenge to even consider remixing this song. After listening numerous times, we concluded she produced the perfect track.  

The only option is we had to bring the epic level to 100!

We composed the intro as if we were scoring a scene for momentous scene in an action movie. Live grand piano and intricate sound foley provide a powerful and dark ambience. 

From there we drop into a glitched-out laser jungle adventure for the dance floor. Swooping squishy digital basses combine with the analog randomness of a Moog Sub 37 and Juno-60 squeals and swirls (thru an MF-104 Moog Delay)to create a psy-fi experience for the speakers. 

Thank you CloZee and Gravitas Recordings for this opportunity!

Arrivals is a reworked version of an older Kinjac track from the album Incandescent that features Kathryn O'Shea singing instead of Kinjac and live drums played by Kinjac replacing the electronic percussion in the original.

Tired of You features Kinjac's sister Kathryn O'Shea as a guest vocalist.

Tired Of You [feat. Kathryn O'Shea]

If there's one thing that the music industry is full of, it's artists looking for somebody to put them on.  Everybody seems to be looking for somebody who can either sign them or blow them up.  But what if trying to be chosen by these people wasn't the best solution?   In this episode, we discuss why it might be a better idea to choose yourself rather than get chosen by somebody else.

Joshua Tree Session

Sinkhole (Joshua Tree Session)

I pulled the lyrics to this one from an old Kinjac song called Terror from the album Seven Years Bad Luck. I wrote it in 2008 and it's unfortunately still very relevant. 

Lyrics:

we've caught the bug 
we're eaten up 
wrapped up in your 
blanket names for 
all those things that 
go bump in the night 

we're terrified 
we're terrified 
we're terrified of ourselves 
won't you save us from us? 
oh, won't you save us from us?

Terrified

southern gothic anti-pop for sad citizens of the dystopia. solo project of music producer MG O'Shea.
