I have a certain way of doing things but this time I decided to drop a single to kill time while exporting the FLACs for 12 Hour Harmonium Drone Album.

'Black Box Recovery' is a one-off made during the making of 'Bios Contrast - Meltwater Pulse' and is a result of extreme brainstorming and overthinking that took me to the edge of insanity and throwing words around.

Black Box Recovery

Sometimes your brain tells you to stop but how about sealing it inside a jar and putting a price tag on it?

Symphony For Archived Posts No.1 was made by bulk converting the videos from all my archived Instagram posts into wav using online audio converter then processing it through Pitchmap and Elastique Pitch in Ableton Live.

The Cover Art is a compilation of all the Archived Posts heavily processed in Photoshop.

'Harmonium I' initially started as a DIY project to experiment if I could play my Harmonium for 12 Hours and also a way to escape from my own norms of working that I had set for 'Bios Contrast'. The project soon turned into a developmental hell when I decided to turn it into a 24-hour project so that it includes both 12 Hours of Remodeled and the Raw Recordings version of the record.

When I started questioning the entire nature of this project I discovered how sound and music can be weaponized and used as a tool for torture so I decided that this record would be the first and last of its kind there will be no Harmonium II nor a physical copy.

It is recommended that you listen to no more than two tracks a day.

'Harmonium I' was recorded at my storeroom studio in two days by compiling eleven 60-minute performances, a 49-minute performance and an 11-minute performance of Harmonium (opened springs) all recorded using two Omnidirectional Microphones and pumped by switching between two hands at random intervals.
The Raw Recordings tracks uses little to no EQ whereas The Remodeled tracks uses Heavy Processing and Multilayered EQ.

The last two tracks 'Studio Suicide, 2020' & 'Studio Suicide, 2021' were played with two hands on Harmonium using a modified 8000 RPM CPU fan with high resistance wires connected at the back of the Bellow using screws and were recorded during the final export stage of the album. It is a way of translating how music for me has died since 2021 during the pandemic. It is also a reference to Tim Hecker's "Studio Suicide, 1980"

15 Bonus items in Bandcamp includes multiple pictures of the Harmonium from different angles and the full key combination of the record together with CD designs of the unreleased physical version.

This record is priced €6 in Bandcamp because I encourage you to donate the money if you want to pay more to any charity you trust or a person in need.

I recorded this EP during 2023 in Janakpur, Nepal. I woke up at 3AM and started recording sounds of trucks and cars passing by giving a doppler effect to the tracks and a chilly wintery night atmosphere.
I know I have been putting out a lot of music, I think it's time to slow down a bit.
