(but also I hope you know the sample, and enjoy this big epic doom riff piece. This one pleases me greatly).

about
File under: Experimental Doom Noise Collage
I know a lot of people out there (not you!) dismiss records in the first few songs or even few seconds, and don't give records the time to develop into what they will eventually become.
Imagine if that was the case with film, TV series, or human beings!
Not everything is revealed in the first 30 seconds, and journeys don't start and end in the same place, and the absolute same I can say confidently with this record.
The starting point compared to where it takes you along the way and where you end up are so vastly different, so I just hope you will let this run its course.
All initial sounds (aside from film/TV samples) made with bass and Monotron, during improvised jams in 2016, October 2018 and December 2018. Manipulated, turned upside down and conceived into the odd shape it is now during most of July 2021

released July 29, 2021
All photos taken by me in Lucerne, Switzerland whilst touring in Hundred Year Old Man, February 2019
Parts 1 to 8 were made from a bass and Monotron jam I had on December 31st 2018, recorded using a H1 Zoom Recorder.
It was the first time I tried to do something using both instruments at the same time, and whilst it didn't turn out as good as I hoped at the time / was in my head, for the next 2.5 years I never deleted the files because I always thought there was something in there that was possible to use from that recording.
Between July 2nd and 28th, I turned the 13 minutes of swirls and bass riffs into a bigger 30 minute piece with some weird loops and extra layers, then started breaking it down into these separate pieces, then working on them to get them into the mangled oddities they are now.
Hopefully all this helps you understand why there are repeating or similar themes throughout all of this, and also why, yes, the sound is a little bit strange / unclear in places, (nothing out of the ordinary there I guess!) but hopefully this just adds to the uniqueness of it once you get into it. Some parts are more about the feeling of the bass rumbles rather than the actual sound, which is why I always hope for people to immerse into the sounds, meditate, don't judge immediately.

Part 9 is an improvised bass jam from October 30th, 2018. I have left the structure of it pretty much the same; i.e. there aren't really any extra loops of riffs or ideas, more just added layers (and a few of the glitchy noise bits).
It is intended as a 'reward' of sorts for those who prefer their bass / riffs to the experimental noise stuff, and for those who stick by me and trust me and listen to my albums as a whole piece.
///
The final part is something I recorded into my phone notes sometime in 2016, that never got expanded on. I always had it in mind to make it into some massive Mogwai-esque piece that built from one simple instrument to a whole orchestral bombardment, with masses of noise and layers building up, and then just stopping once it reached far beyond its peak....
This was not the time to do that with this piece. I wanted something short, simple, played on bass, clean and quiet to end the release, especially after the epic mountain of the track before it, so, that little notepad file stayed just as it was originally, with a little bit of extra crackle and reverb. I may revisit it and record it properly sometime in the next 80 years! I am pleased with how it ties the album together neatly at the end.
///
I really hope that you will trust me for 40 minutes, to, as per usual open your mind, let this drift in and around your ears, and allow me to take you on another weird, (hopefully) wonderful, interesting and surprising adventure of sonic experimentation, with an equal share of humour and darkness in amongst the sounds.
Thank you.
