about

The pc was bequeath to me by a close and dear friend. We shared everything. It took me some time to plug in and turn on, some considerable time. As I apprehensively trolled through all the folders full of memories and revelations I found more and more randomly saved music files and synth patches. Eventually I opened the music software and loaded the tracks. Amazement.

lyrics

High Octane, Million Dollar Caliber, Gold Cased, Diamond Tipped, Star Studded Suicide...

The sounds were ethereal and juxtaposed, not just to each other, but even to themselves. Harsh becoming gentle without ever losing its edge, calm whispered languid pads soared like cigarette smoke but on a scale of Jupiter, then dissolved in to polyrhythmic tones like children’s fingertips playing keys of marshmallow. Of the random sound files and patches I started to make a collage. I followed templates and used the same old software. Magic emerged.

from THE GORE, released December 12, 2012
There is a creative process and an analytical mind at work here, and as the old files play through the now antiquated software the mind and imagination of my friend comes to life once more.

I forgot these pieces of sound sculpture were my dearest and closest friends’, I forgot he was dead, they were of a beauty that surpassed death itself. It was only right of me to take this music to as wide an audience as possible. And the reaction has been incredible. Joy. To see people laugh, and dance, affirming their life to a decade old dead tune, wonderful.
