Just twiddling knobs (everybody needs a hobby)

used to know your breathing in the dark beside me now the nights repeating all my faults and broken dreams Chorus oh-oh-oh-oh I’m not sure how to begin oh-oh-oh-oh when I can’t take and I can’t give oh-oh-oh-oh I’m not sure how to…

You say "We look happy here" Pointing at a picture frame My arm around your shoulder all this happiness, never any pain Your mom pinned it on the fridge Called it "perfect finally" But no one saw you later yelling "This is killing me…

What looks back from within a broken looking glass? A drone-ish ambient mess with lots of space. Featuring all hardware, including Texture Lab, Ambient 0, Neutron through the Minibrute's filter, Electribe for the handful of drums, Big Sky…

This song was another SD Compo entry of mine, specifically from round 87 back in 2014. This rendering features a number of tweaks to fix the mix, like adjusting levels, EQ, compression, and adding some spectral processing to smooth out what was…
