The seventh of 30 days of recording music for Novembeat; the prompt was "blemish", to spoil the appearance of (something) that is otherwise aesthetically perfect. This piece was originally composed in March of this year and didn't fit the game that I was working on, so I walked to a nearby overpass and recorded the passing traffic and made a music video.

I also have learned that IG is not a great place for long, moody pieces, and as such is a blemish in my attempted social network growth. Learning by doing.

The eighth of 30 days of recording music for Novembeat; the prompt was "floral", of flowers. This is a succulent common to the coastal areas of the Pacific in California, where I took many leaps and strides in my music composition.

The tenth of 30 days of recording music for Novembeat; the prompt was "hyper", meaning high-strung, extremely active. Being contrarian, I started the opposite... then the ARP 2600 got away from me as I was modulating it. I rode it back into control, then accompanied it. It musically felt like awkwardly sitting next to someone you know completely losing it, then pulling things back together.

Imagine that you are about to consult a therapist. You are sitting in the waiting room of his/her/their office. Picture some comfortable chairs, abstract artworks on the wall, and some large plants in the corners of the room. You are ready for your appointment.

das gefälle [disquiet0463]

An introduction to a futuristic dystopian video game as you fly into a crumbling capital city. Composed in Ableton with Kilohearts Phase Plant, Native Instruments Kontakt (Butch Vig Drums, Shreddage 3 Rogue), and NI Super 8. Go big or go home.

Special thanks to Torre Florim (De Staat) and Marcus Deblaere (Busker Artist Agency) for their feedback.

accretion (demo v2)

A misty, foggy, rainy day. High enough above to hear it, far enough away to be above it, close enough to smell it, vague enough to float away into wherever your thoughts take you, then you center yourself, back, back, again, don't lose yourself, don't lose focus, it returns.
