Rubidium Funeral Dirge...was me wanting to do a funeral doom jazz album

The percussion in the latter part of that track does have a free jazz vibe. Did you use a traditional drum kit? Who are some of your favorite drummers?

Also, do you agree with me that the percussion is the jazziest thing about that track or is there something else to which you would like to direct my attention? If so could you give me a time stamp?

I wanted to do Bohren and der Club of Gore style doom jazz combined with even more doom but it didn't break through so much. There's some dark trumpet drone throughout the first half.

The drums are real samples but arranged digitally so it's not as impressive

Music is the expression of art through sound. Your process doesn’t change my listening experience. No matter what technology you use as I shift through the hundreds of releases from all over the world each month, you’ve created something that stands out. Whether you’re organizing samples or playing the drums you still have to be more interesting than the next guy and that’s what talent boils down to. I especially like what you did because your percussion doesn’t hold the listeners hand with some kindergarten bull**** rhythm. You use it correctly in a way that stimulates and excites. Nice work.

Yes, there is! It’s really the perfect instrument to create that effect. Is that another sample? If so do you know who you’ve sampled? Or is like a synthesizer or computer trumpet sound that you manipulate electronically?

it's a sample but I can't for the life of me remember who

Both tracks went down in Tahoe when I was doing stuff at their library

Which library exactly? Were you using their computers? If so how did you run the software on their computers? If you were using your own computer then why the library?

Mondo Bungle · 06-18-2018, 05:39 PM

I went to the community college library there a lot since I could install programs on some of their computers

OccultHawk · 06-18-2018, 05:52 PM

Did you meet any interesting people there?

Mondo Bungle · 06-18-2018, 06:03 PM

I can say without any exaggeration that I never spoke a single word to anyone else that was ever there

his place is pretty woodsy, so ridiculously enough I proposed we go as far into the forest as our extension chords would let us and record there

Is there a connection between your sound and your feelings about nature?

Going to the library is weird when you're depressed and insular.
