Face The Dawn

Trying out a blend of psytrance and dubstep...

Adjustment

The Shelter At The Shore

He recognizes how all the world is fleeting, strong walls standing empty, rime-covered, blasted by storms. The halls are empty because the men are dead, carried off by war, by beasts, buried in graves.

Where is the horse? Where is the rider? Where is the giver of gold? Where are the joys of the hall?

Alas, the bright cup! Alas, the mailed warrior! Alas, the power of the prince. Time has passed, grown dark under the night helm, as if it had never been. Now remains only a trace, a wall, high and decorated. Spears took the men; storms thrash the stones. Snow binds the earth, the winter wind. Then darkness, the shadow of night, hail falls, men fear.

There is much hardship on this earth. Fate changes the world under the heavens. Here wealth is loaned, here a friend is loaned, here a man is loaned, here a kinsman is loaned. All the foundations of the earth stand idle.

Good is he who holds his truth. A man must never recite his sorrow, speak from his breast, unless he knows how to cure himself with courage.

Wanderer

Something a bit more rhythmic than usual. Exploring hardware modulations and multi-track dubbing.

End Times

A short experimental piece using itself as an impulse response for its own reverb. This results in Interesting feedback and modulations.

Impulsive Moments

A collection of field recordings taken in a city centre park during the day. The accompanying music attempt to capture the textures of the light and motion of the environmental sounds at the three separate locations that the sound recordings were captured.

Castle Park

A live ambient techno jam to road test a new hardware controller. Exploring some new compositional methods and ideas. Let me know how you think it turned out...

Eight Dials Revisited

This piece started out life as a fairly straight techno track. I wasn't happy with the direction it was taking, so I abstracted it into something more ambient and experimental.

Degrees Of Separation

A piece that searches for remembered echoes of dreams.

Got You On My Mind

Do you ever have one of those days when only raging techno will do?

Relocate

Second in my vary occsional series of tracks from the archive. A psytrance track that I put together a few years ago. One of the trickiest production styles I've ever worked on. A lot of fun though!

Mastered by Domestic.

#ThrowbackThursday - Efflorescence

This is a track that I've been sat on for a while. It explores artificial and physical tape and noise degradation. The elements of the piece have either come from the real world or the computer and have crossed domains several times to and from the computer to cassette tape, analogue filters and hardware processors. For every digital element is a physical counterpart which has been imposed on to the other.

I was attempting to create a twilight space occupied by a constant train of thought transversed by unrepeatable unpredictability.

Oblique Motes - BBC Radio Premiere

I was up before the sun this morning putting this track together. The sunrise helped to inspire the sound design and structure of the piece. It's been a while since I've put down a 4-4 track. The early morning reminded me of being at Ozora with the sun coming up over the Pumpui stage, so here it is.

Fragments Of A Purple And Orange Sky

I was pleased to be asked to contribute this track to the Cosmetiq Records Summer compilation EP.

Six Modes

Six Modes Album Preview

Signals finishes off the EP. A timid sound bursts into life. A stirring noise slowly rises to the fore, the confident strings that Wurrm has relied upon have not lost any of their power. A melodic sequence echoes from them, wavering slightly as it hovers past us. No image of a city or scene, just the slow movements of the sound, humming loudly and at points passing right by us. The listener, coexists peacefully with these noises at this point. In this closing track they seem to fizzle with the heat they have contracted in the last few tracks. A low sound glides in at one point, bringing a intense collage to the front of the mix. The same longing is there that exists on Wurmm’s previous works under the same moniker, but this time with a limitless capability and heart-wrenching structure. - Listencorp

Signals

Trading Eights in the City Centre cracks and bubbles from the very beginning. Distant sounds trickle toward us, subtle sound design brings a familiar scene into focus. The moaning string that supplies the frame of the track does not relent. Small percussive motifs bleed out of what seem to be incidental sound, the whole atmosphere is rife with musicality as Wurrm floats his hand back over proceedings, bringing the gurgling string to bloom once again. - Listencorp

Trading Eights In The City Centre

River Stairs brings field recording to the fore once more. Again, a rain-stricken tower block careers into view. You can almost smell the moist air as more flawless strings seep into the atmosphere. Wurrm creates these scenes like an obsessive architect. He moulds solid structural texture with amorphous, ethereal sound. The string sounds soothe the wet landscape before us. The high-pitched squealing of a bird or small animal conjures images of new life, before being dashed toward the echoing wind. We are positioned between a harrowing, gaping precipice, and the warmth of the undulating tones Wurrm breathes into the track. The warmth certainly wins out in this instance, we are lulled toward the end by a reassuring pad sound. - Listencorp

River Stairs

Uncertain Times brings a cacophony of sinister bells, some ringing out into the cold soundscape, some reversed, swallowing themselves abruptly. A bed of austere sound design is created. A lack of background noise in the track, Wurrm interjects with a light fizzling instead to cushion the listener. Haunting sound bites interject suddenly, creating a much more staccato texture then the tracks before. It’s almost as if we are listening to a diseased cityscape on life support. The dissonant clanging, the sporadic fuzzy recordings almost sounding like laboured breathing, the cold withering collage of bells. All of these elements submerge the listener entirely. - Listencorp

Uncertain Times

Reduced Movement begins again with characterless background noise. Light movements against some sort metal entity echo endlessly, the sounds of traversing a hallowed cityscape are presented, only to be lost to the endless reverberations and echoes of a troubled recollection. The undulations in the melody, as well as the background, are pristine and faultless. Each shift in note is washed out but audible, each movement in the landscape is simultaneously clear yet cloaked in mysticism. The glitching echoed sounds meld a sense of dark reality with corrupted electronic processing. Worlds away from the creator’s previous works, but with all the skill and confidence still very much intact. - Listencorp

Reduced Movement

Nest begins the EP. Heady crackles of feedback spread across the floor of the soundscape. A chorus of strings and pads flow through the scene, providing a warm glow. Light rain can be heard, imbuing a sense of melancholic serenity as the scene begins to fully open itself up to the listener. A graceful combination of world-building and musicality is birthed. The listener is alone in a tower block flat stairwell, watching a light shower catch against the omnipresent sun on a withering summer morning. A patient production style that is a world away from projects before it, the sonic image glows with an orange hue from time to time. Wurrm lets sounds drift toward the listener, only for them to fade back into the damp, glistening euphoria. Newly spawned pads lay softly down on top of others creating a choral pool of strings. The track truly is mesmerising and emotive.  - Listencorp

Nest

Ambient / Drone / Techno

Wurrm presents a stark and sometimes troubling landscape as well as an undeniable brilliance. The artist instinctively pushes sentimental and symbolic sounds to prominence whilst also assuming a confident and assured methodology. His talent is undeniable, the atmosphere is unwavering, and the experience is unique.
