The Nightmare Machine is a series of spooky lo-fi short tracks sounding like they are playing from the rusted circuits of a lost horror game cartridge left inserted in a blown up vintage game console. The dread, melancholy and creepiness they bring with them reek of the decay and fear that many times can dominate our most profound nightmares, testimony of inner torments that a lot of people have to conceal everyday and then manifest through their agitated sleep.
 
Originally aimed to be the soundtrack of an 8-bit game project that still has to come to light because of several unconveniences, I thought it would be a pity to abandon them and deny listeners some healthy shivers; thus, I decided to refurbish them as a small concept EP, with new mixing and mastering.

So... enjoy this gloomy trip, fellow listeners!

Any Time

This piece was made for the Disquiet Junto challenge #477:  Flying Blind, the main purpose being to perform a substantial portion of a track without seeing what you're doing.  So...

I set up a stereo pair of mics and a few instruments on a rolling desk in front of me, set up a looper in my DAW, hit record, covered my face by wearing a hoodie backwards, and started playing these instruments with my hands while listening to the loop build up in my headphones.  The instruments I used were:
-steel tongue drum
-kalimba
-empty gallon-sized plastic jug
-children's metallophone

You can also hear my children playing and talking, which was not entirely intentional, but kind of neat.  They get worked into the loops and it turns into a different experience entirely.  After recording, I chopped the performance into four parts (one for each instrument) and processed and arranged them separately.  This is the result.
