In a word: collage.

Fast, with a heavy emphasis on sampled audio and processed acoustic sources. A long, complicated and dissonant ride. Lots of studio tweaking goes on here — stuff gets ground up and spit out in every track.

73 minutes of morphing bits of industrial, techno, jungle, ambience, synth-pop, and anything else that happened along the way. Purely experimental and often danceable at the same time. Very dissonant and chaotic as well.

A lot of ground is covered on this CD, almost too much if the mood isn‘t right. When this was recorded it allowed me to learn and grow on the production side of sequencing and digital audio production, and in that way it has always stood out from my other work.

Instrumentation:

Synthesis, audio collage, signal treatments, tenor sax, turntable, broken snare/brushes, trumpet, clarinet, The Terminator, acoustic guitar, electronics, video games, and vocals.
