    Assorted Tracks

    +

    Sometimes web playback doesn't work in apps so I don't really + have a good place to show my music to people… so this is it!

    +

    These are all just scratch recordings I made for myself. Some tracks + are accompanied with text. Others are not. They're all instrumental + and most are also mostly improvised.

    Untitled No°1

    +
    +
    +
    + + Poem (CW: suicide) + +
    +              I step into the ocean.
    +              An unending blue, a scene serene.
    +              I hear nothing but the waves.
    +
    +              I walk in deeper.
    +              The cold water tickles my chest.
    +              I put my head beneath the water.
    +              I scream.
    +
    +              I stand back up.
    +              Water runs down my face.
    +              I can't tell which are tears.
    +
    +              The world looks the same outside.
    +              Everyone standing, playing, happy.
    +              The pain is still here.
    +              And I struggle what to do.

    Unspoken

    +
    +
    +
    + + Poem + +
    +              My fingers say what words cannot
    +              Chords I play when I'm distraught
    +              A heart that aches
    +              A hearts that's broken
    +              Say the words that are unspoken

    Terraforming Spring

    +
    +
    +
    + + Track Details + +

    This track was a lot of fun. I was still early days at the drum + machine so its got very little variation in velocity and stock + samples… but I think it adds enough color to the track. The panning + tremolo effect was added in the DAW but the rest is all recorded + from my DigiTakt (drums), Alesis Micron (pads), Behringer Model D + (bassline), and my Fender Stratocaster (guitar). When recording the + guitar I put my vocal microphone up to the strings to capture the + raw sound as well which I mixed in along side the clean guitar. It + gave it this twang that it was missing. I also used some EQs all + around in my DAW to help things sit better.

    +
    +
    +
    +

    Collab Tracks

    +

    I participate in a Discord group from Jay Hosking's Patreon. His YouTube channel is great and he makes a lot of + hardware and some in the box synth music! Please check it out! About + twice a year or so he runs a collaboration community event and we all + make tracks and then he streams them and collects them into a Bandcamp + release. Each of the tracks in this section will defer their copyright + to whatever is stated on bandcamp. Every release was for charity.

    +

    I seriously recommend listening to the rest of the tracks on the + album! They're always so fun! So many talented musicians contribute + and collaborate!

    +
    +              this year has been the hardest year of my entire life.
    +              this song is all of my pain, regret, and sadness.
    +
    +              thank you all for listening.

    +              i kick the gain on after a quiet part around 3:07.
    +              the volume is normalized, but it can be surprising.

    In Session

    +
    +
    + + Track details + +

    This was a really fun one. I stumbled into this idea. Basically + a Maggot Brain style fuzz guitar solo with the samples providing + basically the backing track. It was a lot of fun. Fully + improvised.

    Ancient Signals (Intermission)

    +
    +
    +
    + + Track details + +

    There isn't much to add with this one. I recorded the pads + using the Conductive Labs + NDLR. Which formed some just amazing chords. I used some + samples from my collab partner in the opening and end and as a + base for the entire track ­ it's mostly just like noise and + things like that. It's subtle in the final mix.
