Welcome to the planet TABOOOO.

MUSIC WRITTEN AND RECORDED BY DS 2022-2024.

TRIBUTE to the unforgettable Mike Oldfield and the instrumental genre he invented; vaguely based on the concept of a never heard album, possibly Tubular Bells 4.

INSTRUMENTS: PRS & Schecter electric guitars; Takamine acoustic guitar; various VST synths (e.g., Zebra2, AAS) played via a Yamaha physical keyboard; drum loops, various pedal effects by BOSS and ZOOM.

The roots and origin of the new music is my deep respect for Oldfield, a fantastic instrumentalist and composer. During the recordings, I often tried to imagine what a “forgotten” full-length instrumental from his mid-career would sound like. In particular I had in mind live concerts from the early 80s; a rarity played, a track that Mr. Oldfield somehow decided to never release for mysterious reasons. Call me naive, laugh if you must but this was my line of thoughts while working on this music.



Special Thanks to Mike H, Mark H and Theuns K for feedback on early drafts.

From upcoming instrumental Dehumanizing Process EP "Voiceless", out February 9th 2025

Dehumanizing Process - "01"

Post Malone is a fantastic artist of our time. He's a bit strange but he is a fantastic songwriter and artist. 
I'm not really a fan of pop music. But I just had to play this song.

Chemical - Post Malone - Cover by Vanderwald

Stemmed from a conversation with my girlfriend, so I took it upon myself to try and then totally let it collect digital dust. These are the sections I recorded, and I spliced together the most interesting and complete sections. It is a medley of sorts. As seen in playthroughs, they use a pitch shifter, which I do not have. But I still think it came across as convincing. Used the GGD Matt Halpern PV drum kit, and added some de-monotonouzing flare to the outro to add some spice and originality.

A remix, since I can't stop messing with my old stuff.

Dehumanizing Process - 03 (2025 remix)

Based on a series of events in the "Carrion Call" Vampire the Masquerade session through the eyes of the Malkavian, Jack.
Entering the doors of the St. Vitus church in the middle of a forest, searching for Lara, the kidnapped Keeper of Elysium. Mind games, battles, the horrific descent into fleshwarped corridors, rescue of Lara and a scrambling escape are represented in each movement of the song.

Called Below, With Visions of Red

This track began taking shape back in February 2025, during a period of experimenting with different guitars and hardware pedals—especially lots of echo effects. From the outset, I decided to abandon any formal plan or structure. My approach was simple: plug in a guitar, play whatever came to mind, and keep whatever felt promising. I just wanted to create something organic, hand-played, with some kind of consistent flow... 

Over time, ideas started to accumulate, and it felt generally fun to just keep recording. 

I’ll admit, part of the inspiration came from a beautiful trip to a magical northern spot, home to a stunning waterfall (see my art cover). Whether that feeling made it into the music—well, I’m honestly not sure.

The final result is this 7-minute progressive guitar journey, featuring two electric guitars, two steel-strings, and one classical guitar. 

Feel free to take a listen and let me know what it brings to mind!

WATERFALL SESSIONS

THE WATERFALL :: DS 2025

I make music for fun so if you happen to swing by and take a listen, thank you thank you

Farid Alizadeh (Persian: فرید علیزاده; born on September 10, 2002, in Tabriz, Iran) is an Iranian musician and composer. He is best known as the guitarist for Kolga (Kölgə) since 2019.
He has a height of 1.78 m

Composer of multi-instrumental music, with a preference for longer, progressive and complexly arranged pieces.   

Have played guitar for many years, but I am probably a slightly odd type of guitarist. Not particularily interested in the guitar genre, not too keen on listening to long solos, etc. I don't enjoy playing for people - a party-killer, in short. However, leave me alone with this wonderful tool (or the keyboard, which I play too), and I will start experimenting with it, searching for something to develop. 

Strongly interested in classical music and anything remotely related to that. I want to construct music with a similar structure and complexity, although with other instruments, and in my own way...  
___________________________________________________________

During 2010-2013, I worked on a suite of related pieces, GUITARS PLAYED BY DS, with every sound played on the electric guitar. A major undertaking, and (all-in-all) 45+ minutes long, all complexly related and released in five segments.

During 2014-2015, the main focus was on the full-format 'LONG INSTRUMENTAL', a progressive work with lots of different instruments and sounds, restless and complex. Some sections stand on their own feet: MYSTERY, and FANFARE. 

The 2014-2015 recordings also resulted in two shorter pieces: CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION and CLUSTER OF WARNINGS.

During 2015 I initiated a suite played on classical guitars - GUITAR STRUCTURES. It is a series of slowly changing ideas, a weave of melodies and harmony, the first section out in April 2015 (the 2nd came 2 years later).  

I played guitars on Tolubai's wonderful ambient piece 'MEMORIES' (August 2015).

EARTHSHINE came out in January 2016; a darker and slightly dissonant progressive piece, and one of my personal favorites. So is SILENCE, out 1st July 2016. September 2016: IGNITION  with TOLUBAI and LET THERE BE LIGHT 22th Sept 2016 with PuppyWolf. 

20/11-2016: The OORT CLOUD PROJECT I-IX. An 18+ minutes long progressive synth-based instrumental, with lots of short guitar phrases integrated. Also, the spin-off PASSAGE was released. 

GROTESQUE released too in the end of 2016. The 19th January 2017, I released the sketch OMMA CONTRAPUNCTUS PROJECT. The 4th February 2017, the track '3 WORLDS COLLIDE' was released.

'Guitar Structure No. 2' out in March 2017, took 2 years to complete.

BEST OF 2 WORLDS was released in November 2017, another personal favorite composition.

APPROACHING: an unfinished sketch released 1st April 2018. TAURUS IV released 8th April 2018.

New Years evening 2019, quickly improvising a track: DECADE. Uploaded 23:58 local time. It was a very fun way of ending the year and I used a symbolic art cover with red sweeping in, but I wouldn't have dreamed of what was to come soon.

One main project this year is the SNOWFLAKES VARIATIONS suite; the Prelude was released in January 2020.

8th April 2020: CREATURES RISING was released. CREATURES OF THE RAINFOREST also a spinoff track (released 2021).

In the Lockdown March-April 2020, I recorded 'Era', out of frustration...

5th June 2020: REPORT FROM PLANET THREE, which was initiated 31st May 2019. 

31st July 2020: FORECAST was released. April 2021: SUMMER SNOWFLAKES, a 25 minute long track and perhaps my most ambitious ever. 

OCTOBER 22, 2021: OUTPOST. Was hell of a lot work behind this, which started out as the "Conquerer" project already in 2017. 

APRIL 28, 2022: The Disclosure (Part I).
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022: PEACE GUITARS. A track very dear to me, much of it written outdoors at the shores with my lovely dog with me. 

OCTOBER 6, 2023: SHAMBOLIC GUITARS.  Intensive recordings!

DECEMBER 7, 2024: TABOOOO released. (Oldfield Tribute)

SEPTEMBER 6, 2025: WATERFALL (part 1). Another part will follow in 2026!

Singer-songwriter and a primary writing force in Iscah.

I want to do covers, collaborate, or write for you. My voice is mostly suited for modern metal/progressive metal (djent). However, I love many differing styles of music and can work with whatever you have in mind. So don't let the pedigree deceive you. I am no producer, so almost everything I have here is a demo. I also love playing bass and writing grooves. My skill is not solely vocals if you wish. Metal bass is just one color in my palette. I can also be a consult and objective ear/suggestive mind for your writing.
