This is a changing selection of the tracks from my 'doxa' album where I rotate the tracks that can be played.

For the full 15 track album, see: https://pytchblend.bandcamp.com/album/doxa-this-is-ethercore-vol-1

Doxa is about trying to make sense of the half-awake time between sleeping and dreaming; the same kind of semi-consciousness that follows hospital-induced anaesthesia.  It attempts to examine whispering and physical reactions to it, such as the controversial autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR).

Everyday is Halloween (DJ Dan & Mike Balance Remix) FREE DOWNLOAD

Rousing from the nightmare, I turn my closed eyes to see.  Two owl-like hollow eyes or maybe my blind spot playing tricks? Back under the blanket.  Alone.

Airing out the Belfry

Taken from the Doxa album: https://pytchblend.bandcamp.com/album/doxa-this-is-ethercore-vol-1

Matters followed the usual routine -- crazy irresponsible blood months.  The approaching rain worsened; the wipers couldn't keep up.  She'd made good plans, she thought smugly, smiling tolerantly.  The gate's spiked iron railings, the impassive doorman's eye,

And there she was against the world.
Expecting him to meet her there, flanking the steps.
Swung her bag, the lock smashed.  The blur on the stair had gone.  Standing in front with his eyes screwed up as hard as he could –- hard dark eyes, not twinkling any more, turned from green to blue, hollow with terror.  He walked stiffly of fleshless suspicious face, an aberration, a large noisious void, round and round. Poisoned?  There was no way of telling, he walked quickly down the iron stairs sharp as knife blades with a loose and bottomless smoky smell.  Like a swarm of fireflys, a clang of metal, glass jingled under the light.  A quick stretch of the mouth, a falling back on the certainties.

Bemused - what did he mean?  Like a family, loyal, deserved to the alter.  Too late for wondering now  He followed her along the alleyway, up in one swallow.  He still could not see. broken glass voices squawked.  Dark except for the green glow, gulls on a rock, found some stairs and began to run down them.  500 giggling dismembered carcasses, ignored, bellowing, making faces, pointing.  Teaching them the rules, the rust streaked under the window.

Tinny blare of the television, washing fluttering in the warm wind.  Remembering to organise hers limp shirt, scrambled eggs, sickly-smelling cream.  The shower hissed on to order
a changing room - she found herself smiling back.

The phone began to ring, a foreign village on the far side of the world. 'Stupid woman', he said the language had a sort of authority, pleased him about telling me, half-by blood hands .  He stressed the photograph on the wall, cartoon-like in his mind then kissed her velvet-soft red lips stretched with enthusiasm hard and dry.

His mind was full of full of could happen next.

"::: Payphone - Darryl Lucas (United Kingdom) :::

The sweet melody of mechanical drones having fun with our conscience. Simultaneously dark and charming. Nice work!
- Paul Carpenter, choq. CA

Built by manipulating simple sounds of everyday life, this creation transports us into a parallel sonic world, which in turn plunges us neatly into a sound of everyday life.
- Martin Girard, this is radio-Canada

Well structured until the fall, in almost hypnotic textures and depths.
- Isabelle Perrault, radio dodo

Payphone is a clever metaphor between the hope of a dialogue and a sense of failure of these tools, which, despite advanced technologies, put us in front of an unanswered call.
- Caroline won, Avatar Quebec

You go into the trance, lost in a connection, free from the wire and the earpiece.
-Boris Chassagne, 60 seconds radio

An Ode to telephony. A mute number, but behind him, embusquée, the whole range of emotions ready to pop up: surprise, desire, anger, incrédulité, fear, excitement, boredom, love...
- Marc Jacquin, phonurgia nova

A captivating and abstract work, whose excellent bill and aesthetic simplicity do not prevent the appearance of a sub-text and several degrees of reading.
- Pierre Vedovato, école school"
