Completed Albums
Open Yr. Mouth N Release Yr. Soul(2009)
44.1 Minutes.
Much improvised guitar and instrumentation, each successive layer generally building off the one prior, with sloppy attempts at cohesion.
10 minute (midi)organ drones and bass feedback.
Nihilistic sounding acoustic jams with badly prepared guitar, bongos... and cowbell, more sloppiness.
One-take, monotone toy keyboard drone ons and drum machine explorations.
A collaborative jam that eventually devolves into more solo textural wanking.
Purely digital single mindedness and self indulgence.
Pink artwork.
Ormia(2010)
Crickets...
3 mostly-ambient styled tracks (some elements of noise here and there too), all conceived on a particularly hot (Australian) February night.
Tracks 1 & 3 were both electric guitar improvisations, recorded in one take each (crickets and all).
Track 2 started in much the same way from an acoustic guitar improv, but had a lot of post manipulation and additions added in.
Base tracks were recorded with a combination of close mic'ed guitar amp and an "outside" mic (with its gain cranked!).
"An Altar Of Worship Would Be A Nice Addition"(2011)
