GREASYXBLADE [The Pad Bank Flip it Challenge N° 277]

M8@DAFDrum>M8 (disquiet0572)

A drum/percussion track for Disquiet Junto 0572: Rhythm Kit. Instruction: Record a beat with the intension that someone other than yourself will add something to it at a later date. 

These sounds were recorded during live jam with Creatures Once bandmate Monstrosus on Dec 10. We played live on some iOS apps conrolled by Korg nano keys, the Alesis e-drum kit, and Drumbrute Impact. We're both drummers as a first instrument so we always have fun with the drums. Had some other instrument sounds going in the jam, but took those out for this rhythm kit version. Arrangement kinds of follows how the jam played out, with M going off on the e-drums to cap things off. Hope someone in the Junto enjoys this beat! 
My family baked biscotti while I edited this, then we had a nice cuppa chai to go along.

Two Over Three (disquiet0572)

Made for the 573rd weekly Disquiet Junto project — Float Mode (The Assignment: Add material atop a pre-existing beat to form a complete track) — at: https://disquiet.com/0573/

About this contribution: 
I started playing with a few and ultimately ended up working with @SinnySounds "Two Over Three" with its catchy persistent poly-rhythms in 6/8. I layered in some sounds that came out of the same live session as the beat I shared for my Rhythm Kit contribution last week. I wanted some low end drum sounds, so I added @Freeways rhythm kit track "M8@DAFDrum>M8" with it's huge bass sound. There's also some ambient outdoor sound from this: https://freesound.org/people/pcaeldries/sounds/65813/

Persistent Calling (with SinnySounds and Freeways)  [disquiet0573]

This track is a personal diary of the year 2022 - in the form of a musical collage. For each month of the year I selected a track I published on SoundCloud in the corresponding month - tracks I especially like, tracks that can be considered as important for my creative development, tracks that have a personal significance. The tracks appear in ten-second snippets in chronological order.

Calendar Flip 2022 (disquiet0574)

hello world! I'm so stoked to share my first EP as bad opera. 'bad art' features 5 tracks with my atmospheric and musical spin on footwork, jungle, breaks, and a little bit of IDM for good measure. This is a sound I've been pursuing for a long time, and after many experiments, studies, and learnings, I'm excited to have something that I feel is finally ready to share with the world. 

Click through for a free DL on bandcamp! ($1 during the pre-order period to meet bandcamp's requirements). If you do elect to pay for this album, your purchase will go to support World Central Kitchen (wck.org). If you opt not to pay, I encourage you to spend a few dollars on another artist's Bandcamp catalog, or support an organization of your choice doing some good in the world.  


If you like what you hear, consider sharing it with a friend, or following me on bandcamp, soundcloud, or instagram. Thanks for your support <3

All tracks written/produced/mixed by me.

The Shimmering
On the violet-blue world of Xynestra-9, every orbital cycle brings the season known only as The Shimmering. During this time, the twin suns align, saturating the forests in waves of bioluminescent light. It is said that the planet’s inhabitants — crystalline-skinned beings attuned to rhythm and resonance — enter a state of cosmic courtship, communicating through low-frequency bass pulses rather than words.

The track captures that moment:

Funk-heavy jungle breaks as heartbeat accelerations

Alien percussion arrays echoing across the glimmering valleys

Bass frequencies entwining like dancers beneath the twin moons

For those who hear it on Earth, The Shimmering isn’t just music — it’s a love song between galaxies, a mating call broadcast through jungle drums and subsonic frequencies to any species capable of feeling rhythm in their bones.

🌟Xenobungalism: The Intergalactic Bungalist Frontier🌟

If Bungalism is the Rebirth of Jungle, then Xenobungalism is the First Contact. It begins with 1993–1995 jungle DNA — chopped breaks, rolling basslines, ritual percussion — then splices it with sound sources that don’t exist on Earth:

Hallucinated breakbeats folding time signatures in impossible geometries

Speculative instruments made from crystal, plasma, or quantum pressure waves

Alien fauna rhythms — cephalopod bass trumpets, insectoid percussion, telepathic dolphin choirs, creatures beating subsonic warning signals on hollow asteroid shells

The dancefloor becomes off-world terrain:

Raves in bioluminescent swamps under three moons

Bass ceremonies led by Octophantelepi elders

Wobblefish tribes summoning tidal drops with spectral drums

Xenobungalism rejects human minimalism and keeps the bright, playful, skankable spirit of Bungalism alive — but filtered through extraterrestrial physics. Delays loop through wormholes, Doppler sweeps bend spacetime, and every drop feels like the gravitational pull of a black hole made of funk.

It’s jungle when the rainforest itself has been abducted, mutated, and turned into a galactic breakbeat ecosystem.
