A55 by Abstinence Dungeon
A66edit by Abstinence Dungeon
Two new tracks on Soundcloud. A66 was more of an experiment with simple drones than a proper jam as such. Didn’t really go great. I want to record some more abrasive stuff and I’ve got plenty of suitable sounds ready to go, but I struggle to make them into anything cohesive and interesting rather than just unpleasant to...

I’m really quite uneasy about the rhetoric coming out of America following the Afghanistan leaks. ““They constitute a potentially national security concern,” says Robert Gibbs, the White House spokesman. They pose “a very real and potential threat to those that are working hard every day to keep us safe.”
If nothing else, I would hope that Mr. Gibbs would acknowledge...

Americano
Since returning to my family home and thus to the espresso machine for the summer, I have been drinking a surprising amount of the stuff.

A re-post of theFlylo remixes because the video posts seem to be disagreeing with the soundcloud widgets. I’ll use text posts like this in the future.
[EDIT: the others are working fine now too. oh well.]

So I mentioned earlier that I got a good synth jam going last night. It was the first in a while because there have been so many distractions recently, not least that provided by digital manipulation. It was good to get back to my analogue roots.
The jam was successful though, and I’m disappointed not to have recorded it. Longer than usual, it took a more minimal approach probably inspired...

Here’s Clock Catcher, which is a bit better but still in development. I’ve played around a lil this time rather than just lumping effects on top. Essentially that amounts to keeping bits that I like, such as the intro and the twangy guitar towards the end, and destroying the rest. If I were to pursue things further I might loop those bits I did like bit. I also thought about layering...

I decided to ‘remix’ Cosmogramma mainly to annoy the friends of mine who like it, but unfortunately they have largely been supportive of the idea. At the moment I’m just messing around to gather a few ideas before putting something final together. I don’t know whether to do it on a track-by-track basis or to have some sort of album-long continuity going.
Here is Nose Art...
