#11 DIDACTIC HARSHLINGS [sample pack]

Stretches of intrusive, discordant phonons created by mutating, liquifying, & incinerating sounds extracted from various analog & digital sources.

Abstract, abrasive, irritating, perplexing, overwhelming. There is motion, but finding melody here is a bit of a pipe dream. So add your own. A fury of skin-singeing crumble under sweet melancholy break always changes the emotional temperature to something more accurate, more real. Making creative use of jarring dissonance & disagreeable atmospheric conditions can communicate what pleads to be known so much more effectively than a silly little set of chords could ever.

Clanging shapes & crunching patterns birthing crumbling static walls. What sounds like failing machinery processed through a complex web of distortion modules could very well be just that. Sharp sprays of blips, cluttered sputtering electronics, falling architecture, relentless reacting, burnt air you’ve no choice but to breathe, data corruption & corruption as data, innards sparking & smoking. Now your skin has melted, & you’ve started fires in various rooms of the hotel with your thoughts.

Created using EMF mics, field recorders, guitars, guitar pedals, contact mics, circuit-bent toys, tapes, & mountains of software.
