Track 2 of Monarch's Ruin album. Monarch's Ruin is a concept project; the soundtrack of a non-existent dark fantasy film from the 80s. I took inspiration from films such as Hawk The Slayer and Conquest as well as 80s composers such as Vangelis. Of course it didn't end up sounding like any of those with loads of drones and reverb. I'm a big dungeon synth fan and I guess it's a combination of solar synth, noise synth, drone synth and soundtrack music. Possibly Dungeon Gaze. Anyway enjoy the Fantasy vibes.
It was recorded in one take with no overdubs/edits/samples with a PSR220 keyboard, an Akai drum machine, a theremin, a korg monotron, a doner b1, a behringer pro-1 and a bunch of pedals. 
If this proves popular enough I will put some cassette versions up on my Bandcamp. Link In Bio

The Dead And The Dying

A meditative piece recorded live and in one take using a guitar and pedal effects only. Only editing is for levels, EQ and fade in and out

A distant call

felis + balaena is a live guitar looping project of Tom Zak. Every track is recorded live, one shot and no overdubs. Only editing done is fade in, fade out and overall volume, nothing else.

It's a guitar thru a bunch of pedals, including loopers, straight to the line inputs of a Zoom H4n Pro.

I have always called these pieces "cat and whale" noises, thus the latin name of the project.

ambient, soundtrack and techno tracks with a dark and doomy, metal and industrial influence; I use cheap, scuzzy old out of date equipment, field recordings and analog synths. I mostly record live. Grit is Good. 
Also one half of the ultra-hard electro noise punk doom duo 9hx5t/5x9nxl. 

Thanks for reading & listening!

Electronic Doom Music forever!!!!
