about

These are some ambient experiments from the last few years. I am clearing out my big big big back log and remastering some old music. I figure all of these ones are pretty atmospheric. If you pay for this album I'll wire the money to a charity in Boulder, probably the Boulder County AIDS Project. It's one of two needle exchanges I've been able to find up here, and the other (The Works) is county funded.

Tracks 1, 2, 5, and 6 are originals with no particularly interesting background.

Track 3 was an experiment in texture, layering, and stereo ring modulation.

Track 4 is inspired by Duster's song of the same name.

Tracks 7 and 8 were inspired by the movie Ghost In the Shell.

Tracks 9 through 12 are experiments with a free plugin called DtBlkFx. It's a Fast-Fourier spectral processor with variable latency. I turned that latency down to zero and ran some melodic ideas through it.

Track 13 is a stretched out and re-processed version of a song called Digital Mausoleum, which I'm hoping to release soon. I really have no clue.
