Sleeve Of A Tweed Jacket

This track is a free download.  This track was created with a baritone guitar, bass guitar, and two Pocket Operators: PO-12 Rhythm and PO-24 Office.  Sometimes when you focus so intently on a goal, the obsession takes over the goal.  Be careful what you wish for...

come take me down
and out

i think out loud
when in doubt

someone’s coming round
you’ll find out
this means nothing

when you take them out
you’ll find out
you feel nothing

follow me down
in and out

take a look around
you’ll find nothing		

someone’s coming round
you’ll find out
this means nothing

when you take the crown
you’ll find out
it meant nothing

Meaningless Crown

I heard a noise outside.  It was way too late for anyone to be walking around.  I looked out the window into the pitch black and saw a blinding light.  It took me a second to fully register what I was looking at.  A car was on fire.  The car was parked in between two other cars.  Those cars did not have a scratch on them.  This was done intentionally.

Sinister

This track is a collaboration with jEFFREYs!  jEFFREYs is a musician who creates his compositions on a Nintendo GameBoy utilizing LSDJ software.  

The files he sent me were totally nasty and disgusting (in a good way).  There was a lot going on, so what I tried to do was space out the insanity leading to an exciting noise crescendo.  I felt like the song could use some mellow low end to balance the high pitched disorientation, so I used the OP-1 to create the sound you hear at the beginning of the track.  I felt like it was a perfect match because it had a mellow element, but had the ability to rise to a "fever pitch" which would mimic some of the distortion of jEFFREYs' LSDJ sounds.

I broke up the piece with two extended sections of my OP-1 synth "freaking out" as a way to give the listener a slight break from the hectic noise.  I created the arrangement where the various LSDJ channels would make an appearance gradually, and also added some glitch and warp editing to increase the insanity of jEFFREYs' already crazy drum beat.

To me, the title "Liquid Rust" brings the image of some monstrous robot, coming back to life in a junkyard.  With rusted parts sparking and shuddering, the robot slowly stands up, towering over you.  You have no idea if this is friend or foe.  The robot opens its mouth and vomits, a stream of liquified metal.  ...the song ends with the robot losing power and surprisingly collapsing!
