Alice Deeper Down

Couldn't fit in this experimental track with the current Alice Deeper repertoire so I bombarded this ADD profile to host a side project of the same name.
Although the track is a VST test mostly, hence I didn't take the time to craft a proper lead-in, and the ending is a bit sharp too.

Still, the subject is the apparent collapse of sanity and decency of the world's population, the institutions shaking on their foundations, a completely misguided revolt based on conspiracy nutballery fueled by social media algorithms that were designed simply to have more engagement with these media platforms, as that means more money - and if that means setting people up against one another, creating more and more division - whatever gets people talking, means people interacting with the social media, means more money. Good job. Civilization is on the verge of collapse as a result. Back to the time of Barbarian?


Am I being pessimistic?

PS. the vocals are NOT my voice. They are a speech synthesizer, one of the VSTs on test in this track.

Anyway, lyrics:

humanity's division feeds back upon itself
animosity forgets it's own undoing is required
dwell in victimhood and exclude for scarcity
it is perceived to be deception but foundations are in void

unrest control, spirit denied
utilitarianism arise
cognition in flames, dreadful desires,
materialism collapsed on all sides

The Looming Collapse

Inspired by a rare occasion. 

Instrumental - kind of - it does have vocals, but no lyrics.

enjoy!

Flower Moon

Hi, my name is Tom, and I enjoy making music.

One of my greater inspirations is Dead Can Dance. To learn how to use some new gear I recently acquired, I thought it fun to mimic that typical DCD style.

Did it work?

There are no lyrics, so I won't post them here.

Scarab

Daedalus

Spacious wavy instrumental aiming to invoke imagery of ancient worlds and dreamscapes filled with mythological wonder.

Regardless of whether that works for you, here it is.

Enjoy!


EDIT: the percussive elements, the 'bass' and the main melody are sampled from actual acoustic instruments that mostly serve a display function in my house, normally - but they are functional. The synth and brass are from a professional soundbank.

Myth wave version of "Patterns" of which the original remake can be heard here: https://alicedeeper.bandcamp.com/track/patterns-1996-remake

So, yeah, that myth wave album is definitely coming.

Patterns (Myth Wave version)

A new entry for the Myth Wave collection.

edit: I realize that Dead Can Dance have a track with the exact same name. This is not a cover, though - DCD is an absolute inspiration and I can only recommend checking out their work to the fullest.

Dance Of The Bacchantes

In a fit of inspiration... Another one for the collection:

Persephone Cries

Another one for the Myth Wave collection. I got me some African djembes on the local flea market today, completely unplanned and by surprise, and some African shakers too, and my housekeeper had brought me a souvenir from her hometown earlier this week - a mouth harp. So I went ahead and recorded some music today.

It turned a bit darkly, as I filled in the openness with a ghostly synth, so I named the track after the illusive greek goddess of night - Nyx.

Children of Nyx

I was sampling some interesting items, and wanted to create a track with it. Also I actually wanted to keep it minimal, but much like my garden, it kinda overgrew a bit 😸

This has a video now: https://youtu.be/2IdnjzO0sFI

Antheia

Fixed some parts from the preliminary mix, restructured, additional mastering applied..

This is part of the Myth Wave collection, see the "buy" link for the free-to-download album on Bandcamp...

Mnemosyne (factual mix)

Experimenting with different workflows yielded this. I am feeling the energy of the subject matter, so here it is. Going for textured sounds and very custom homemade sample things, there is a lo fi grit to this one. Hope you enjoy.

Hephaistos

Life has been so busy, with little time to make music. But I kind of spontaneously played this last night while toying with/exploring VSTs - hope you enjoy.

Interlude

Selene

Slipping into dream...

Arin is my new singer. She does a hell of a Lisa Gerrard impression --- !!!
