a chance meeting of electro folk bards clumsily clanging the dust off guitars, electronics, hearts, hands | a spliced but raw recording of waves in a room in Nebraska | a sand painting trapped in time by ones and zeroes

It started as an attempt to make a dream-pop song, but it evolved into a purely instrumental piece with three movements. I felt a need to make something more pleasant and peaceful this month, and to spend as much time as I could immersed in that…

7 string guitar, 5 string bass, drums, Minibrute 2, and a note.

Trying to express some of my feelings. Things have been a bit dark lately with the recent tragic event here in Minnesota. Used the Deluge to drive the xd with a manually created sequence and recorded automation, then recorded that to the mixer…

This is another song for my Hyperphantasia album, dealing with dreams, daydreams, fantasies, and imagination. The inspiration was a challenge in the Deluge synth discord group to make a song using a single kit. I compiled a bunch of sounds from…

I sampled and chopped to extract some chords from a lovely rearrangement of an anime bgm that Poloma from the REM group made, based on "In The Fall", from Yuyushiki https://youtu.be/NwvXD9yb558?si=SWC1AwZW0CEm732D I experimented with a few…

Within the holographic display of the Generation Ship, this was the first dream that they programmed. It would repeat and echo itself across an infinite number of simulated lifetimes, adding some tender warmth to the Great Sleep.

Over millennia, the Generation Ship passed through the light of thousands of suns. Its sheathing was designed to protect its delicate equipment and sensitive cargo from the hazards of the Dangerous Space.

Under the holographic array, those hibernated experienced one lifetime after another, fueled by the seeds of the Root Dream. The Root Dream danced with their own memories from a dead planet, and spawned a plethora of evolving child dreams. Each…

What had begun as a perfunctory piloting exercise turned into a near disaster. Attempting to navigate the Generation Ship around the outer rung of a red dwarf, I was caught unsuspecting by a poorly timed geomagnetic storm. This was further…

My initial assessment of the holographic array is not promising. There is clear deterioration to the core storage. The root dream had been in one of the modules most impacted, and parts of it were erased. I'm attempting to parse the diagnostic…

After getting a fix on the simulation of the Hibernator who nearly awoke, all I'm seeing is indecipherable chaos. Within her simulated reality, the world that envelopes her is shattered and volatile, like a perpetual fever dream. If this sample…

The mindlink to the holographic array is in critical condition. I'm working with an ion refabricator to repair the apparatus, while simultaneously keeping tabs on the Generation Ship itself through a parallel link to the navigation system. Sparks…

I think this will be over soon. The durations of missing time and non-existence are becoming more and more pronounced, with only brief shimmers of lucidity, where I wake up disoriented and in a nebulous hellscape of moving pixels and distorted…

Bonus Track #1

Hello peeps! Long time no public activity from me. I've been working on a bunch of stuff with the guitarist from my old band. None of its ready... However, I've been experimenting with different ways of jamming and doing demos. And in the…

The Analog Sun pierces through the blinds and windows of The Digital City, signalling a new day has begun.

Lost in a sigh A victim of flight Bare, no thoughts blank stare too gone to even care Thought Eater so lost in anesthesia bit by bleepin byte shorting out the lights Muse Gorger subdued by cold ambrosia there's no sleep no mind…

The invaders merely filled the empty space with their presence. The mass mind-wipe had done all the preparatory work for them. It was just a matter of reseeding the empty husks that were left. --- Samples Used: Apollo 11 / NASA [Public Domain…

Wyoming is just an old Italian word meaning 'No State Here' -Garfield Sample Credits - Can I get an AMEN?

I woke up from this sleep as somebody else like a puppet pulling on my own strings Orbiting around my very head Alive? Undead? What does it matter? We invite you in To our humble abode We invite you in out from the cold We invite…

An analog sun gleams over the digital city, illuminating all its glitchy, imperfect bits and bytes.

If one seed fails to take root, there are infinite more chances.

Vexatious Phlegm is the primary performing moniker of Zeke Korma. Initially known for fronting the indie rock group Shackbuilders from 1986 to 1991, Korma's more recent work is typified by hypnotic repetition and personal, stream of conscious…

I like Bad Religion. The first album I heard, I remember thinking that it was amazing that there was a smart punk band. Also, I like the way that their songs could work with an acoustic guitar, and still stand. I thought this had a similar…
