quick update

hey all - admittedly haven't been doing so hot the past month or so - on average, getting better, but was hit with The Nasties and am working through them. in an effort to be better at that, i'm going to be stepping away from social media and whatnot for a little while and focus on looking after myself and connecting with my friends a bit more. hopefully this'll also get the work drive happening again. admittedly, i think the everydays project took way more out of me than i had imagined it wo...

The Queenstons - May 16 (Lagwagon Cover)

several days late since this wasn't working out how i wanted, but this finally came together! May 16 was on a Saturday for the first time in five years and i've been thinking about the tune (and the rest of the album) since, so i absolutely had to cover it.

Darius - Lakeshore West Line

last night's deuteronomy performance

i've given this a quick EQ and compressor pass to tame the harshness and intense volume differences a little bit. enjoy ♥

volca sample sound set: the basics

pack of percussion hits and breaks i frequently use for the volca sample. it's the basics, for the most part, but samples of them i'm particular about using.

some jams attached in MP3 format. got an elektron model:cycles and love it (all the "re" tracks) as well as a volca modular ("swamp"). enjoy and have a chill day

The Queenstons - eyes open

the dreamer awoke,
left in a hurry.
barely opened their eyes
and they were gone.
they left me a note
saying: "not to worry,"
to "take my time," and other lies
to help myself go on.

deuteronomy - visions (all senses) [VOLUME WARNING]

WARNING: CONTAINS EXTREME CHANGES IN VOLUME

for as long as i can remember, i've dealt with sleep paralysis and the nightmarish sensory experiences they come with. being charged at full force by a bizarre, unknowable apparition; having a barely human intruder suffocate me; an impossibly tall shadow figure outside the window, willing open the blinds and staring, unmoving. they all start with the same feeling - i can't move - and end with the same feeling - trying to scream, unable to open...

final warning: exuviae cassette in ~15 minutes

EXUVIAE CASSETTES DELAYED TO APRIL 4

a quick update regarding the exuviae cassettes that were supposed to go up for sale tomorrow! they will now be available on APRIL 4TH at 6PM EST! let's talk about why:

first: i'm ok! but i think i may have gotten over COVID-19 last week with a couple more symptoms being noted by professionals as possibly related: viral conjuctivitis (pinkeye) and tempoary anosmia (partial loss of smell). i had conjuctivitis along with headaches and a sore throat starting about 2 and a half weeks ago but...

video: pedal rig & building a sound

warning: some loud/high pitched sounds here and there.

i tried to make this video 6 times and none of the better-produced ones worked out so here's a trashy unedited OBS recording including a part where the camera shuts off

last few everydays

sorry i forgot to post them here. i've been really hazy with all this shit going on. trying to stay on top of things. i'm not really sure what's going to happen.

exuviae restock on FEB 28 @ 6PM EST

it's been in the pipeline for a while, but i'm finally restocking EXUVIAE cassettes on the 28th at 6PM estern time. these have been highly requested ever since the test run late last year, and i'm finally happy to be able to get more done for you.

in the case of postal closures, ordering will go on as usual and your copy will be confirmed and set aside for when mail starts moving again.

thank you for everything ♥

2020_03_14 garamond

all sounds minus percussion are arturia microbrute + effect pedals. i didn't anticipate wanting to add percussion so they weren't recorded to a click track and the percussion was sequenced after the fact to an approximate bpm of the recordings. 

2020_03_12 focal point

messing around with bringing what would normally be laji-2-ish live, unquantized synth lines and vocoder riffs to something more ravey. saw is volca keys, weird twangy left/right panned synth is volca kick, bass is td-3, vocoder is korg gadget as the carrier through ehx voicebox.
