Anyone else do electronic music that translates well to live sets? Most of the stuff I've released is tricky to do live in any interesting way without just triggering sections/tracks (which can be interesting too, depending).
I'm trying to find a balance where I can recreate songs while also making sure there is enough being performed live to make it interesting (for myself included). A tricky balance!
Just two days left in the month; who wants to help me end the month with some strong streaming numbers? If I get ~80 streams I'll crest 700 for the month...
This tracks is maybe the polar opposite of the last one. It's noisy, abrasive and heavy -- arguably nonmusical! But it's also the song that gave me my nom de tune. It's a song called "Ether Diver," from an EP called Ether Diver. Ether Diver.
It's completely made up of samples of the Soma Ether. A deep dive, if you will. (All the spaceship stuff and mythology came later; it was just such a cool name I knew I had to use it.)
This track is a pisstake of paranoid ranting idiots on TV and the internet. It's my take on the glorious #plunderphonics of #Negativland and similar acts (mostly Negativland lol). Not something I've released much of but I love playing in this space and it's a personal favorite track.
The title, "WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?" is an obscure meme that grew out of the comments section of a website I used to write for.
This track is a personal favorite and, I think, a vastly underrated song. (Well, under heard, really -- probably due to its placement at the end of the album.) It's a little rough-hewn, but has a lot of cool elements, including a two-part structure and some more #plunderphonics!
A dark horse favorite of fans, and a track that I started off liking and ended up loving, here's "Coven of the Outer Dark" from my 2022 album Tales of Etherspace. This song is basically all filter sweeps. And it's a beautiful thing. The vibe here is immaculate.
