#84 - Trust In The Shepherd Who Looks Beyond
by The Owl
Walter Campbell
Walter Campbell
As someone who largely uses an Arturia MiniLab for my own dark wave and stripped down, dungeon synth-y recordings, it’s deeply inspiring to hear your own work in and in this medium. Like humans, I also love and generally prefer imperfections in music. Well done!
Favorite track: In Misty Lands We Go Unnoticed.

I searched for days longer than I should have.
I should have given up.
Gone home...
but could I even call it home?
It was nearly the end of my proverbial road
but my internal monologue
would not let me quit.
For once,
I listened and it was correct.

Summoning up the energy
to leave the place
that was ruining my brain
was the one action
that contributed to
having the rest of my life.
There is solace all around me
now that I am not where I was.

I joked
about one tiny distraction
leading to another new world existing,
but,
this is absolutely the case in point.

My Amiable Alter Ego

The body and mind
I resided in before
is gone.
Experiences and self-hatred
moulded a me
I can finally be happy within.
I take none of my suffering for granted
and I wouldn't change any of it
now the worst is behind me.

I've been a night owl since birth.
The shadows suit me better.
As the fog gathers
and the moon enlarges,
seemingly within grabbing distance
I feel the calm engulf my thoughts.

22 minute, dungeon synth styled / dark ambient release. Simple but hopefully as infectious to you as it is to me.
The melodies fell from the surrounding aether and hooked into my mind. The imperfections are part of the charm, and I can no longer imagine these sounds played any other way.
All photos taken by me; May 14th & 15th 2022, during The Owl & Marne weekend tour in Slovakia, and this album is very much about allowing yourself enjoyment of travels, physically or mentally.
Words and imagery compiled between August 8th and 22nd.
Thank you to Arturia for providing the keys to the sonics; to Marne band for guiding and joining me on the journey for the visuals; to Slovakia for revealing lovely things to my eyes and protecting my mind in a great adventure; and to you for joining me on this quest.

Semi-accidentally written, recorded (each song in one take), mixed and mastered in one day; August 8th 2022, whilst experimenting properly for the first time with Arturia Minilab MkII keyboard. I considered several times to re-record or add more layers, but, that simple, impromptu approach felt much more suitable for this release.
Sometimes it is best to keep things simple, and sometimes the creations that come from that freedom and spontaneity express louder the things about yourself that you needed to expel from your mind and existence, compared to something that takes years.

Suspenseful and Eerie. Each track tells a story. Spirits haunting a boneyard and aliens scanning the wreckage of a battlefield are just some.of the images brought to mind.

Thumping, pulsing industrial techno with dark & edgy ambience. I love the distorted metal-like vocal elements. If they remade Akira, this release would be a perfect score!
