about

Now over 20 years old, these tracks were once lost. Having recently discovered a cheap CDr backup, I've rebalanced them harmonically because the original mixes were poor - the consequences of using questionable sound sources, noisy electronics, and a cheap CDr that imparted digital crackles to the audio! So, they now have more detail and clarity over the original files.

Musically, the tracks are dark and cinematic. Noisy, industrial, and mangled. Track 1, "faded dreams in ebon space", was originally composed for a student film (not mine), but was never used. It was once described as "...brilliant..." by someone on Myspace (remember that?) and best listened to in a "...warm dark room on big speakers up pretty loud, with an altered state of mind..." - listen as you wish, of course.

I've not quite known what to do with the tracks up to this point, but they work well together. I'd say they paint pictures of lost artefacts, splintered gods, forgotten dreams, nightmarish factories, and grotesque quantum science, but that's just me.
