times of the strainge

By george bowles on September 1, 2024 9:29 pm

strange strains prog rock trains, a peculiar oddity, brutally progressive weirdness

A schizofrenic track that at goes between frolicking in the flowers for a few moments and then pts you in a b-movie horror from the 80s.  Love the keys in this one especially, very Roland...

awh thank you!!

This is wild! Like the machines are taking over or rebelling, at least smile. Great!

When the tags themselves say "brutal", "weird", and "strange", I'm like "uh oh" big_smile

But this is pretty musical, even if the time signature is hard to pinpoint and the harmonies are free jazz! This would be complete with a low-register coldwave vocal over it with a gated reverb.

Around 3:45 the track slowly evolves into Autechre territory for a bit. That part is my favorite.

How did you make this?

Aw I loved reading that! I too thought a vocal might be neat in it. And Autechre is one of my favorite bands of all time! Thank you! I made it with BST instruments and a hydrasynth as the controller. Some of the sounds are from it as well but it was really utilized as a controller. I used emergent drums as my bat I kit and I cannot recommend that enough

Thank you for curing my toothache!

This makes me think of something that would be on the American McGee's Alice game!
