[note: feel free to put "0" in for download price]

i wanted to record an album that sounded unfamiliar to me. so i chose some constraints that would prevent me from getting too connected.

this set was sequenced from solo, single-take hardware jams recorded to two-track with minimal editing and post-processing, mostly between 18-24 sept 2016. everything was mashed out live into sequencers with nothing prepared apart from a few rhythms.

so there's a bunch of mistakes and clipping and leakage and analog grunge printed in. you can maybe sense the terror in the second half of some of these tracks as i desperately hang on.

about

Daniel Arena Sydney, Australia

I wrote some music software a while back. Someone emailed me to say that it had been used it as part of a magical procedure, a churning mantra, the performers searching for meaning and spirituality in chaos and randomness.

I played in some bands for a bit, as well. That was pretty fun.
