Great soundtrack-like music for Daren Aronofsky or Gaspard Noé!

Epic!! Love the glitch sounds butting up against the prog elements - great synthesis 😎🙏

Amazing guitar 🔥🔥🔥 Love those playing techniques.

As usual, a work in progress until end of the month.
Apologies for not doing one for the month of March.
It was a busy month for me.

MTD Mixtape April 2023

Edit: supporting visuals: https://youtu.be/O57dZY1AVdg

Experiment forcibly using new equipment all in one track. Well, this happened. It's kind of interesting I think.
I treated myself to a Twisted Electrons "Blast Beats" groovebox.. the lowest-fi glitchiest piece of cr*p equipment you can buy for not cheap. And I love it. Straight from the realms of Dystopia
Also, less prominent: some pad created with a Roland JD-08. Yummy. What an excellent little gem that.
Also in the mix: Elektron model:cycles. I am assuredly going to do a concept album or at least EP with that thing.
Vocals were recorded using a TritonAudio Fethead Transformer. That's a very neat in-line pre-amp running on phantom power.


I threw some lyrics together about things that are pretty current, and keep me busy, so here they are:

lyrics

Were you someone, I have to be asking
grew up serene, away from the struggle
and strife now presented that never did touch you
but words of deception that make you believe
that the world was on fire, injustice abound
right at your doorstep to take all your freedom?
but just close your eyes, there was never a real threat
other than the ones of split tongues and venom!

wired up, side on break the violence
fired up, ride on, hear the silence

tell me again who you were once ago
when the future was open and dreams were allowed
think of exactly who told you the difference
between cats and dogs and the hits that were misses?

the tales that were spun on a landfill of gaps:
all cognitive bias we need to unlearn!
projection, reflections, deflections, the point is
we all want our freedom and peace with the world

wired up, side on break the violence
fired up, ride on, hear the silence

Because the title of the song found a tone that matches the scenery of the cover photo. When I was choosing a tone with the intention of creating an arpeggio, I heard the sound of cutting an iron pipe.
I'm happy with the rhythm track, the bass sound that's even heavier but doesn't bother me, and the opening and break scene play. All are my favourites.
This song is the first time I've realized how much fun it is to create a bass part.

" THE CALL" DOC

WHICH WAY TO GO
(c) JunkHeap Jan 02  2023

A song about making life choices.  Make a choice that you think will work out, and then it doesn't; need to change ones plans; and sometimes other choices work out without a hitch.

WHICH WAY TO GO
(c) JunkHeap Jan 02 2023

Traffic light; take a left here; signal right, 
I think I know which way to go.
Merge in fast, the zoomin' fast lane, 
hoping for a slow country road,
but nothings in sight.

Which way to go.
Which way.

Always a choice, was it right, 
only time will tell with some assessing.
Layer and repair when things don't work out,
cuz you can't start again.

<Keys break>

Sometimes everyday selections,
turn into corrections;
Domino effect; unexpected conundrums.
...but then life starts to hit the right sail.
Get it right, things start to flow.
 
Which way to go.
Which way.

The first time I saw you
There were Angels over you
The first time I saw you
There was hope, & I saw

Angels in the sky
Over you, & I saw
Meadows in your eyes
Skies of blue, & I saw

Little Devils close behind
Little Devils, little hearts, little minds

The next time I saw you
There were vultures over you
The next time I saw you
It was cold, & I heard

Rumours in the night
Tales of cruel angry mobs
Running through the night
Looking for you, & I thought

Those Devils can’t be far behind
Those little Devils, little hearts, little minds

The last time I saw you
There were gallows over you
The last time I saw you
There was a  rope, & I saw

Angels in the sky
Over you, & I saw
Meadows in your eyes
Your eyes of blue, & I saw

Little Devils close behind
Little Devils, little hearts, little minds

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

A Multimedia Puzzle-Story Of An Immortal Being's Struggle To Define And Exert Their Will Upon A Wholly Deterministic And Ambivalent Multiverse, And The Strange Cult Who Loves Them.

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."
