FRAWSTAKWA x RiZLiX - No Half Stepping

Paradox of Desire

On my travels this summer I picked up a book of weird celtic short stories, published by The British Library. This one is inspired by "The Fetch" written by Robert Aickman. The fetch is essentially your own personal sea-hag who will come for you (or those in your family circle) when your time is up. You know it's come for you when it looks you in the face; otherwise, it will pass you, it's head at whatever angle so as not to look at you, as it makes its way to the true victim. Aickman's stoic, Scottish style brings out the folk dimensions of the tale to truly horrific effect. Not surprisingly, I've gone for a funereal march!

I love listening to & creating ambient, dark ambient, avant-garde & experimental electronica (and the occasional beatscape). I have no professional aspirations  - I just really like creating music / manipulating sounds. It's my way of relaxing after a hard day at the office. All my tracks are produced using monitoring headphones (Audix A140) so I recommend that you listen to my music through headphones. My DAW of choice is FL Studio. I also use Reason every now & then. 


To the artists I follow; I do my best to try to listen to as many of your tracks as possible each night (I listen to each track all the way through - you went through the effort to create a track so you deserve to have it heard in full). If I miss a recent upload of yours, please forgive me...

Thank you for taking the time to visit my little corner of the soundcloud.

Naviar is a music community and label. Through regular publications, open projects and events, we explore the connection between experimental music and traditional Japanese poetry.
