Here's a dip into my softer side: three tracks with a weird shared theme, lots of pleasant tonalities and a pretty straightforward musical approach (since I know the oddball constructions of noise and nightmare a lot of my work comprise ain't for everyone 😅 ):
Of potential interest to those few of you who have followed my music for a while is that these are from my last era of DAW-based music creation, before I went quasi DAWless for ~3 years.
Because of that, they represent a somewhat less polished/musically complex period, but I am still proud of them and think they sound pretty dang good.
2019 post-rock album from Geneva, Switzerland. Another band with a connection to The Evpatoria Report—this time, it's the bassist. This is heavier and darker than that band, and at times reminds me a bit of if Lowering was more angry than depressed.
My picks: "hochrobotisiert fast keine leute," "Now Watch This Drive," "The Light Footprint of a Predator Hellfire"
Today I learned that there's a company called Acoustica that makes a DAW called Mixcraft. There's also a company called Acustica Audio that makes VSTs. There's also a DAW called Acoustica by Acon Audio. None of these things are related.
I feel like this is a trademark lawsuit mess waiting to happen. 😆
