ABSTRACT EGG – Axial Tilt OSC #159

A brooding piece evoking the sense of "unheimlichkeit" when you're working the night shift and realize everyone is sleeping except for you and a few other souls

Night Shift (Version 2023)

Velvet Dreams

Dies Irae

a bubbling bassline complementing a minimalistic groove

Dikes About To Crack

I made this one for my niece last summer when she had a stroke at 23 in 2023. Luckily, after a tough year she got through the worst part! This one's in honour of her courage.

5 Snakepit (extended version)

Scaradise

Where the old school troubadour meets the postmodern sound poet
When the underground busker travels in the same body as the wicked professor.

Scaradise is the alter ego of Belgian visual artist and musician Kristof Wynants. A legendary double bass machine who rolled and roamed with Traag Verstand, Kit and Caboodle, Dump Brothers, Last of the Albinos and Sidi Caravan and now provides fine bassline artillery for artists as Equinox, the Peacekeeper, Antwerp Deadheadz, October Rust, Blauwe Mist, Flamboyant and Sara Della Santa. The other side of this musical coin is hybrid electronica with a breeze of rock blowing through. A unique universe where every song is a mystical abstract egg that incorporates echoes from before we were here. 

Resistance is futile!
