Pure awesomeness ^_^ having eargasms right now

A collaborative composition created remotely between myself and Tory Slusher, my first attempt at such a thing back in 2011, and I daresay it has stood the test of time, since we weren't shooting for any specific sort of genre. Let's hear it for unheard nostalgia! Programmed and produced by Solo, and significantly augmented by Tory (who of course also played guitar).

The Transcontinental Alien Samba Ritual and Variations

A jazz flavored chamber piece created to showcase concert harp, though it may be way too complicated... a common issue we run into when we compose in DAW. Composed and produced by Solo.

2 Being 1

An instrumental score intended to accompany theatrical dance, wherein the dancer portrays the life of a simple candle flame, from first match strike to final extinguishment. Composed and produced by Solo.

Matchbox Dancer

An instrumental score composed to depict 3 stages of organized religion, from well-intentioned transcendence deteriorating into corrupt institutionalization. Special thanks to Tory Slusher for her inspired guitar performance in the second stage. Composed and produced by Solo.

Charisma Chips

In the 21st century Age of Information, everyone lies, because they have no time for the truth. Composed and produced by Solo

Speculatopia

Composed in spring of 2010, a manic happy dance celebration of the return of later evening daylight, evening bike rides, and disabling the gas heater for the summer. Stomp meets Riverdance, with a Vangelis-flavored interlude.

Delirium Trimmings (2024 Remix)

Refurbished instrumental ruination... 2024 remix of a tarnished golden oldie from 2010. A harsh little number intended for listening at substantial volume, and good for primitive dancing if you can do so in 11/8.

Refurbished Atrophy (2024 Remix)

My take on Frank Zappa's G Spot Tornado, slowed to a leisurely 200 bpm for dialed back statistical density. Original appeared on the album Jazz From Hell, a curation of brilliant instrumental works from his Synclavier period. This version also draws from the arrangement performed by the Ensemble Modern on The Yellow Shark album.

G Spot Tornado (Zappa Cover)

A cappella nonsense (or maybe not) created with random lyrics and no instruments, except for a couple of synth percussive FX.

Humalong (2024 Remix)

For nearly 2 Decades Stigmata have pioneered and etched a foundation for extreme progressive music in a country and an industry with a poor infrastructure for Rock music. Having changed the musical culture in the country Stigmata is now a part of the fabric of Sri Lanka's sonic blueprint.

Having never compromised their artistry; Stigz have always explored the unknown and the exotic while staying true to musical roots. The charismatic quintet’s music is evocative, carved out of passion & purpose. Extreme Metal & Hard Rock that is created with a prominent Sri Lankan sound, interwoven with an authentic Eastern Flavor mixing Jazz, Baila, Fusion, Funk, Classical, Blues, Tribal & Progressive Power/Thrash/Death Metal.

Few artists have survived the makeshift trends, lineup changes and every conceivable trial and tribulation of the music industry and remained to still etch a legacy carved with passion, sheer perseverance and an unadulterated vision, to carry our nation’s flag loudly ‘n proudly across the globe, while shattering paradigms and breaking boundaries along the way.

Stigmata is immersed in carving new seizure inducing music at the moment, are showcasing groundbreaking performances locally and internationally, prepped to launch killer new merch and are stoked to etch this new chapter in the band's legacy.
