If you're looking for something #weird and #experimental for your #BandcampFriday list, try out The Alchemical Process of Modular Synthesis, my second release of 2023. I didn't heavily promote this one, because a) it came hot on the heels of my premier 2023 release, Psychedelic Ghost Stories, and I was more keen to get the word out on that one, and b) because it's pretty out there and likely to alienate a fair number of listeners 😅
YouTube has this new screensaver mode that dropped today for me where it shows a thumbnail of some theme like, “Acrylic Pouring Techniques” or “New York City Drone” and UI encouraging you to “press up to play”. It’s slightly annoying because it now overrides the art screensaver that I set up as my default Apple TV screensaver.
Pressing up plays a video associated with the listed theme. I wonder how much the video creators got paid for this? 🤔 #YouTube#weird#screensaver
Erin Hannon and I wrote a short commentary on Nori Jacoby et al.'s fantastic paper on people's rhythmic reproduction tendencies in a bunch of different parts of the world and sub-populations in those places.
Ten minutes of #weird, shifting drum-machine rhythms, splashes of noise and atonal #soundscape full of scrapes and whines. Has an unsettled and unsettling vibe that would almost work as an avant garde horror score. Definitely not for everyone, but I think the people who are going to appreciate it are already convinced to give it a try, so what else can I say?
From our magazine: Revenge farting on airlines? Tax dodging artists? And don't get us started on what's washing up on our beaches ... it's all in the latest installment of Strangest State! https://www.texasobserver.org/strangest-state-march-april-2024/
I've picked up a fair few new followers since I last posted an invitation to #listen to Psychedelic Ghost Stories, my recent album. If you're new to my #music, this is the place to start:
10 tracks of dark, trippy, dubbed-out post-industrial ghostwave and wizard synth. May cause heart palpitations and excitability. Do not operate heavy machinery while under its influence.
Oh, and if you like it, say so and I'll send you a free DL code.
As promised, here's some free download codes! First up, a baker's dozen codes for my #psychedelic#scifi post-industrial electro-dub concept album Psychedelic Ghost Stories.
Then you can slake your (audio) thirst with a long, cool drink of Metaphysical Shitposting, a woolly, loose-limbed journey thru #kosmische, #ambient, #noise and #soundscape. #Experimental and #weird but always a delight (I hope).
