Mondo Bungle

Trouble Salad - Rough Stuff

Overview: Honestly, this was a pointless release with little to no merit. I wanted to experiment so u tried it out, and here we have just, weak and rudimentary experiments. That's another demon from the Ars Goetia that I can't remember the name of, but is obviously infinitely lamer than Flauros.

1. Flazer I
Sound and Style: a quiet wiggling synth and an almost melody.
Trivia, Origins, and Influences: it's laser spelled with a z and an f, because it reminded me of lasers.

2. Burnt Murder
Sound and Style: one of the redeeming moments here, even if it's so quiet. Staticy noise with some oscillator modulation.
Trivia, Origins, and Influences: nothing really

3. Splajj
Sound and Style: crashing waves
Trivia, Origins, and Influences: play on the word splash
But How?: this is just a sample of a wave crashing onto shore, I lopped it and did some panning stuff

3. Flaxer II (Where is my Lazer?)
See track 1

4. The Pit of Infinite Torture
Sound and Style: really unsettling piece. Claustrophobic and obscured clanks and howls to conjure up the atmosphere of the torture pit
Trivia, Origins, and Influences: this was inspired by some lane death metal band with a sing called "The Chambers of Excruciation". It begins with a sample of some kinda brutal torture I imagine, with violent and sadist imagery. I wanted to make mine with a different atmosphere, more isolated, dark, tense.
But How?: this was a live field recording "performance", where I howled out some stuff while banging on stuff

6. The Fall of Salad
Sound and Style: this is the best/fullest track here. It features a minimalist synthesizer melody with a good amount if distortion, but not too harsh, a thick and shimmering sound reminiscent of a noise version of an ambient Burzum track
Trivia, Origins, and Influences: I did the rise, here's the fall. I think it compliments the Rise fairly well.

Artist's Verdict: Pretty damn lame and not at all an essential listen. I dunno why I even released it, it's like boring and uneventful fragments if full songs.
