about

Part One of an extended electroacoustic/glitch/techno project exploring sensory processing disorder and autism relative to the experience of using social media (where all of the non-musical sounds here were derived). Other parts, not finished yet, lean more toward acoustic instruments, post-minimalism and improv, but that stuff requires an actual budget I do not currently possess.

Sleepmoss
by Meemo Comma

This is stunning. No accident that there's a track called "Amethyst Deceiver" because this reminds me of Coil without being a soundalike, which is the highest compliment I can give. Soft Promises

A Fossil Begins To Bray
by Hiro Kone

Brilliantly immersive and fluid, an all-too-brief waking dream/nightmare about place(lessness), surveillance, and the shifting meaning of "public". Soft Promises

Void I/Gathering
by Meg Mulhearn + Void Ensemble

All of Meg Mulhearn's work is required listening, imo, but this is my favorite, two simultaneously immense and soothing (to me, at least) tracks of drone. Soft Promises
