Chill 4

from recent to older. The last track dates from 2003 and was my first recording as Me, my Thumb and Jack, my then Dogma-style analog approach to sound making. The 2 tracks directly above were a bridge between MMTJ's naked brutalism and a more digital sound, allowing samples and oscillators

Gruppo Infernal - dark ambient & chill

One night while working on another track to honor a lost friend, emotions ran deep and the only way to cope with them was with what you hear on this track. Loop based track with live improvisation. Lament for D wherever he may be

Lament 4 D

Bass, Bass Clarinet and Drum Trio..part of a suite of tunes focusing on the Bass Clarinet - coz its cool : )

Open All Night

And now for something completely different...
It was the first warm and sunny day after a long gray period. I was happy and just for a minute I got soft and made this. And that doesn't bother me at all.

On a sunny day

Lust smolders in the shadows of the mind and fires up the body. It's impossible to ignore. The thirst for something that refuses to be quenched. Though it rarely leads to peace, we chase it because in its pull, we feel furiously alive

Lust

Niksen is a Dutch/Flemish expression for the art of doing nothing. A deliberate act of setting aside structured tasks and embracing stillness. To be stripped of excess and distraction. Mind wandering isn't aimless—it's a mental playground where ideas grow and imagination thrives. Doing nothing isn't lazy; it's an essential pause, a breath in the rhythm of life. It’s where inspiration whispers and the chaos of the world recedes.

Niksen

"She sat beside him, their shoulders almost touching, yet a canyon of unspoken volumes stretched between them—longing for what could have been and mourning what never was.  Each silence echoed with a thousand words neither dared to speak, the air heavy with the ache of both wanting and withholding.  In the quiet, their hearts told stories their lips never would—have missed chances, of the right words arriving too late, or not at all." 

There's this Flemish/Dutch expression "het spreekt boekdelen" which means something like "speaking volumes". In Flemish it means saying a lot, not with words but with a look or a gesture, usually in emotionally heavy situations. I wondered how one would put it if these emotions, however very present and clear to all concerned, would not be expressed at all. Hence the title "unspoken volumes".
I was reading about synth architecture then and wondered how an electric piano would sound like if I had to program it with a DX7. So I tried to emulate it using FM synthesis. The "unspoken volumes" theme came to me while messing about on the keyboard. The choir seemed like a fun contradiction to this idea of something unspoken.

Il Mondo Puo' Esplodere

Guitar by Admiral Krank. Drums by Mo Sheen. 

The Idol Speaks

The bare bones solo section from Natt Brus' Chemtrail Heaven....though it's a bit repetitive and boring without the stellar guitars of Admiral Krank and Vice Commandant Dubois. Inspired by Nic's original song parts that bookend this in the NB track. This is unmastered in every sense of the word.  https://soundcloud.com/natt_brus/chemtrail-heaven

The ambush and ensuing all-out battle to defeat the Blob That Ate East Texas.


In lieu of the usual art, I've decided to include this lovely wedding photo of myself and Mrs. Krank.

This time, LA.BOTICH (@user-885721608) composed an incredible version for Tabla Fantasy nr.1.

LA.BOTICH vision for this beautiful piece of music was the redemption of Yoki-chi: any day, She felt her destiny call and started a journey...one day she faces her destiny (the sea) and surrender to it, to the perfection....

The redemption of Yoki-chi
part 1 - Pilgrimage
part 2 - The encounter
part 3 - Yoki-chi surrenders to the sea

ENJOY !!!!

Greetings !

TAFFETA | Part 4

A place for sound freaks lashing out from the dark. 

So there's all kinds of stuff on this page, but after months of schizophrenic debates about who was playing with who and who took the lead while doing it, finally, the decision was made: all my alter egos got together and decided to form a band. From 2020 on new tracks are created under the moniker Gruppo Infernal. Only pure MMTJ tracks will still be named as such. 

Gruppo Infernal still relies on my work as Me, my Thumb and Jack, an ongoing quest for a liberating approach to sound creation where the human body acts as an oscillator amplifying the natural 50hz hum. Direct live recording, improvisations and delay loops only using analog filters and effects. No editing, no overdubs. Gruppo Infernal adds digital treatment to this original sound material. 

UnterPitch was an alter ego using samples & synths.
Bleached Coffins was a one-off project using guitars.
