MK MOIST -
A high plains drifter and sonic poltergeist 
who likes to fly fast and free in the slow lane
A gatherer who forages naked out in the cold digital vacuum of time armed only with old delay pedals
A simple creature in a vast and complex wilderness of noise

New 23 Song Album "FREAKQUINOX" available on Linge Records

After writing songs since he was 5 years old and performing in bands since he was 9, Jared Woods (hatched and grown in Cape Town, South Africa), realised what was wrong. It was the simple essence of bands themselves: a collaborative collection of ideas which ultimately resulted in compromised visions and a cock-measuring competition of egos. It was with this epiphany that the protagonist figured out a new route to fully express his musical passion. Going solo. It was genius, as this approach ensured that the band would never have any reason to break-up, and that he and himself would hardly ever argue about direction. It’s the whole “if you want something done right...” cliche, all over again.

So after lengthy conversations in his mind on the cold cobbled streets outside London pubs (where Jared had since relocated to chase the dream), Coming Down Happy was born. But despite the fact that the seed was planted as early as 2008, it took over 4 years for our hero to stop picking his nose and smelling his own farts, eventually finding the strength needed to grant this project its final lift-off, in 2012. The reasons for this delay were many, and not exclusively a result of laziness. No, instead this hindrance was owed above all else, to the approach in which Jared had chosen to release said songs, by creating something much more elaborate than your average musical project.

Inspired by a recent lengthy heartbreak he had endured in 2009, the center of Coming Down Happy told the fictional tale of one rockstar named LegoTrip, who meets an evil girl that curses him with her poisonous vagina, causing him to fall deeply and irrationally in love with her. This story was not only communicated via the means of lyrics, but also with the aid of a comicesque-musical, each song supported by hundreds of cartoon images, carefully stitched together in video format, introducing a surreal world of characters and events. The whole concept was to be composed, sung, rapped, screamed, mixed, drawn, video-edited, and web-designed/developed by Jared Woods alone, and all of it available to the masses for free (with a planned comic book in the works, too). The project was so intricate, in fact, that the boy had convinced himself that when the original 4 part EP was released, he would surely be propelled into superstardom.

No such luck, as almost the opposite took place. Due to the careless practice of mentioning real people and situations by name, blurring the line between reality and fiction, the outlet encouraged a vicious backlash to ensue, resulting in hate mail from anonymous listeners as well as his own parents, and even some seriously violent threats to his well-being. But this didn’t bother Jared as much as the lack of fame did, and he fell into a deep depression for months following.

However, time has been good to the healing process, and the show must go on. And even in those dark days, Jared never once turned his back on the music, always letting the ideas stew, calculating his next move. A couple of even less successful singles later, and he was ready to continue the story he had started, following the turmoil of LegoTrip once again, observing the fight against misery in The Black EP sequel. This 4-track offering will be released song-by-song sporadically over 2013, in hopes that our cartoon friend may find some peace, and that Jared may find some fame.

But regardless of outcomes, one thing's for certain: this abrasive, sample-heavy, multi-media, genre-crossing musical approach (standing currently as a hybrid of hip-hop flows, metal screams, horrorcore contexts, dark electropop ideals, scat scoobi-doo-bahs, dubstep drops, trip-hop sleeps, house-music satires, post-punk deliveries, raggamuffin irieness, and drum 'n' bass breaks - to name a few) featuring perverted adults themes (subjects including genitalia, mensturation, ejaculation, devirginizing, Satanism, blasphemy, suicide, abortions and murder) which are unnecessarily offensive without losing a sense of humour and cartoon cheerfulness... will always be completely unsignable, unmarketable or indescribable. But, hey, at least it will give you something to do with your afternoon.

Here to spread cheer, funny stories from regular people hoping to delay the cold icy grip of reality.

ICANIGIGANTI are the merge of Spectacular Synthesizer and Plasman. ICANIGIGANTI play live with analogue synthesizers, samplers and effects. The mission is to make people dancing by making use of real electronic instruments that go beyond the "cold" techno-dance of the last years. Marcio, Pepè "interstellar overdrive" and Plasman play an hypnotic mix of perforating sounds and powerful drums patterns. "ICANIGIGANTI" make the first step into the new and exciting way of playing techno in the clubs. "ICANIGIGANTI" only play live and all their compositions/releases will be live-recorded. 

[IT] In africa la musica ha un ruolo ben preciso, ci sono pezzi che servono per rendere i campi fertili, per far piovere, per ringraziare la terra, per rendere le donne fertili....i brani hanno delle strutture improvvisate su dei ritmi e degli stacchi pre impostati. La musica ha un ruolo primario, vitale e fisico. "ICANIGIGANTI" partono da questo concetto per realizzare un live di musica techno, spostando l'idea di musica africa sul territorio italiano. I luoghi della musica diventano i club, le percussioni ipnotiche diventano sintetizzatori e batterie elettroniche e lo scopo della musica diventa quello di far ballare e accoppiare tra di loro il pubblico sotto effetto di droghe e alcolici (così come succede nelle tribù africane). La musica viene trattata come quella africana, strutture improvvisate, stacchi, ritmi e suoni "standard" che cambiano da pezzo a pezzo. Gli strumenti sono reali (no computer) e vengono suonati nella maniera più sanguigna e spontanea possibile. "ICANIGIGANTI" si esibiscono solamente live, i dischi sono suonati e registrati dal vivo (IT version by Marcio McFly).

Marcio McFly: bass synthesizer, drum machines, mixer
Plasman: sampler, echo expander, filters
Pepè interstellar overdrive: synthesizer, delay, distorsions

Hier auf meiner ersten eigenen Soundcloud Page unter dem Name "Paramount Soundscape Recordings", möchte ich aktuelle Musikproduktionen zeigen, an denen ich eigenständig als Recording - und Mixing Engineer tätig war. Bei einigen Songs habe ich zudem als Komponist und Produzent mitgewirkt. 


Kurz zu mir: 
Ich bin seit 2003 Musiker und spiele Schlagzeug in einer Band. Seit einigen Jahren wurde die Musik für mich immer bedeutender, weswegen ich nach meinem Geographie Studium anfing an der SAE in Frankfurt Audio Engineering zu studieren. Nicht nur das reine Musik kreieren und produzieren in einer Band, sondern auch die Faszination für verschiedenste Klänge und Soundeffekte waren weitere Gründe mit dem Studium zu beginnen. Zudem wuchs das Interesse und die Neugier wie man mit Hilfe tontechnischer Mittel gute und interessante Aufnahmen erzielen kann, in den letzten Jahren immer mehr.  
Ich schloss das Studium an der SAE im Frühling 2014 ab und erlernte in dieser knapp 2 jährigen Ausbildung die Grundfertigkeiten und das Handwerkszeug des Tontechnikers. 

1. A & M (EP: Art and Melody):
Auch wenn die Lieder keine Lyrics beinhalten, erzählt jeder Song eine eigene Geschichte die episodenähnlich allesamt aufeinander aufbauen. Im Groben handelt das Werk des Künstlers von der Unendlichkeit des Raums und Lebens. 
Sound: 
Beim Mixdown versuchte ich genau diese geheimnisvolle, schier endlose Weite soundtechnisch auf die einzelnen Songs zu übertragen. Besonders charakteristisch sind die weiten und großen Hallräume mit besonders langen Nachhallzeiten auf fast allen Instrumenten. Die übermäßig starke Anwendung von Effekten wie Delay, Reverb und Modulationseffekten, sorgen für einen etwas "schwammigen" Sound, der ein wenig das Schweben bzw. Gleiten durch das Weltall darstellen soll. 
Sowohl der Sound als auch die verschiedenen Gitarren - und Keyboardmelodien des Künstlers formen sich zu einer Klanglandschaft, die einen hoffentlich an etwas unbekanntes, geheimnisvolles und unendliches erinnert. 

2. When Million Sleep - Cold Harbor:
Noch kaum bekannt, aber ungeheures Potential. Ihr Debutalbum "Earth to Air" erschien 2013. 
Christoph Hessler, Gitarrist und Sänger der Band "The Intersphere" nahm das Album auf und mischte es. 
Im Februar 2014 kamen sie in die SAE Studios um einen neuen Song  für meine Abschlussproduktion aufzunehmen. Ich denke das Ergebnis kann sich einigermaßen sehen lassen ;-)

3. Above the Earth Part One (2014)
Erstes eigenes komponiertes Stück. 
Erinnert einen zunächst an etwas trauriges, schicksalhaftes, bekommt aber ab der Mitte einen Wendepunkt zu mehr Hoffnung und Optimismus.



I'm a Belgian composer of Ambient music. I started this musical project in 2001. The first Arborescence demo was composed and recorded in 2002 : “The Enchanting Tree”. Since this album, I recorded 9 other demos of instrumental relaxing music : Maximum feedback, III, The Dark Light , The Arrival, Arboreseis,  Reverie & Echoes, Good Vibes and Atmósfera. The characteristics of my music are : instrumental / electronic sequences / guitars riffs with effects / drum machine / relaxing sounds / a lot of improvisations and sometimes, dark or melancholic atmospheres. 
The album demo "Atmósfera", composed and recorded during a long period (June  2020 - August 2023) , consists of 7 tracks of Ambient music with touches of Space Rock and Electronica. This album is especially based on sounds created with the Microkorg synthesizer with also parts of electric guitars, acoustic guitars, electric bass, drum machine SR-16 from Alesis and synthesizer from Roland, the JV-1080. The 7 tracks of this new album is now available on Souncloud.

I love the follow bands /artists : Ride, The Villagers, Warpaint, Harold Budd, Tangerine Dream, Dead Can Dance, Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson, Ozric Tentacles, Hawkwind, Steve Hillage, Genesis, Klaus Schulze, Neu!, Stars of the Lid, The Horrors, Gary Numan, John Foxx, Wire, Turing Machine, Pink Floyd,  Labradford, Loscil, Can, Joy Division, Pink Industry, The Cure, Killing Joke, The Hail Mary, Chrome, Emerson Lake and Palmer, In Camera, Cocteau Twins...
