A haunting new track from Skin Vehicles, the ending theme music to a film that doesnt exist yet.

Love Lies Bleeding

Keeping it weird a piano piece overtreated with a played sample of the original track. Created a bizarre but lovely twisted experiment

An homage to the great director David Lynch. As to any more about the album I will leave that to Mr Lynch.

Speaking to The Guardian, the 72-year-old Twin Peaks creator said to talk about art is to “reduce it” saying that such discussion “make[s] it smaller.”

“When you finish anything, people want to talk about it. And I think it’s almost like a crime.”

He added: “A film or a painting – each thing is its own sort of language and it’s not right to try to say the same thing in words.”

Lynch was often asked to explain the meaning behind the show’s surrealist leanings.

Had a go at remixing the Son Lux track Opera Fight. Its pretty twisted. But wow to get your hands on Son Lux material to play with. Wow. I've loved these guys since I first stumbled upon them with At War with the Mazes that they gave away on noisetrade many moons ago. Seeing them grow to what they are now is amazing and deserved.

you can have a go too

When I created the David Lynch homage album I had wanted to somehow have lyrics that gave it a Lynchian edge, unsettling prose, or random words but nothing came.

Something that hinted at the backwards talking in Twin Peaks but not using that technique.

I experimented with various vocal synths and vocoder ideas but it all sounded ‘normal’

So I decided it was a fools errand and released the album as an instrumental, and was very happy with it.

Roll into 2023 and I found a way to do it, with a big tip off from Rafter! Thanks Man!

So by not using an AI product correctly I found a way to manipulate music of each track to create a vocal that was purely made from the track it features on.   

Sometimes it gave me a female voice, sometimes male, and sometimes it was an English style voice or American tones. It was dependent on the music it was trying to work with. The more dense music the heavier male voice and the lighter sounds became feminine vocalisations.

I am totally amazed at how incredible it sounds.   The vocals themselves sound like a language you have never heard, and only hearing random words of an overheard conversation.

  I don’t know if you’ve ever listened to people speaking in another language you don’t know and sometimes a word jumps out in your native tongue? Or at least sounds like it is. It’s like that.   

I really hope you enjoy this edition to the Lynchian idea. That’s again Rafter for planting a seed.

Driving a Lynchian Scream

Alternate way to diet

Inspired by David Lynch each instrumental track from the album was fed into an AI vocal cleaner over and over until it was forced to create words. Well kind of words... Those then became the vocals for the album

fundamentally flossed again

A multi layered first draft piano piece. 

This is how all my music begins as a piano track that is then altered twisted and corrupted to become something new. I had this idea after a chat with 
the amazing singer songwriter, musician. Kate Stanton, not about failure but about being kind to yourself. I think we can all do that give yourself a break. we're all special humans.

You should be upbeat about your failures

You Should Be Upbeat About Your Failures

I re-recorded the track you should be upbeat about your failures but this time using Spitfire Audios intimate grand piano 
you can get it here. it is a lush sounding piano.

You should always be upbeat about your failures - played with Spitfire's Grand

Playing around with some musical motifs and taking them to meet new motifs, they had fun together and created this track.

A gentle flowing track, this started when a good friend Edmond, from Canada, sent me a beautiful chilled accoustic track he had composed. I asked if I could play with it, and being the absolute gentleman he is, he said yes!

Just for fun and not for sale I adore the vocal for white rabbit by Grace Slick, I heard a copy of the vocal isolated and had to do something with it. Here it is.

We Are The Ending To Someones Beginning

The Skin Vehicles is, an experimental, electronic, psychedelic twister that is mostly instrumental. The sound is cinematic, ideas twist and turn, this is the music for the film you haven't seen yet. 'Fine Art' in sound.
 
Skin Vehicles is the Musical output of Fine artist Dex Hannon and Writer Dexuality Valentino. Working solo or in collaboration, nothing is the same, because life doesn't work like that. Based in Northern England. He has released 13 albums under Skin Vehicles and also 2 albums under the guise of DVEC with American Collaborator Eunice Cazarez. His music has featured on BBC Radio 3 Late Junction as well as stations internationally.
 
Working in different creative spaces, he allows the music, art and writing to weave through everything he does. Sometimes the art will influence the writing or the music or the music will influence the painting. A lot of the paintings and music bear the same names, feeding each other.
