about

OWL65 is a 20 track, 95 minute mix of released and unreleased tracks (10 of each), and an overwhelming journey that covers a pretty broad spectrum of noise, chaos, darkness and experimentation.

Mostly made and released between November 2020 and December 2021 for compilations, aside from a few remix / 'interlude' style tracks on other releases, then all tracks had extra work done during January 2021 with plenty of extra layers or at least 'remastering' of all of them, and then I spent time with the track order, to make sure it (hopefully) works as a coherent album in its own right as well.

As always, thank you to everyone who gives their time, trust and ears to me and my sounds. There is a lot going on throughout this one!

I've decided to do more of these compilation / remix / unreleased collections. I am a bit (a lot) of an obsessive completist about these things, so it feels good to collate the separate tracks together.

These 3 one minute tracks were 'first attempts' of remixes (of OWL19, 42 & 49) for the FIFTY album, that got redone once the whole 50 tracks were complete. Glad I kept these!
