Six Tones for Spotify
My most recently released album “Six Tones for Sleep (or Death)” is now available for streaming on Spotify: The album is also available as a free download from Bandcamp and should be posted to Apple Music, Amazon, etc soon as well.
Beasts on Spotify
While submitting my most recent album to Spotify and other vendors it came to my attention that despite starting the process years ago Beasts(Homunculus-Basilisk) had never posted. I have now corrected the issue and made it available. Of course it is still available for free streaming and download at Bandcamp.

Disquiet Junto 0461: Hunting Goldilocks
I helped Kiggler with his current Disquiet Junto project. I mostly provided some textures and arpeggios from the modular and Kiggler expanded it out into a whole universe. His comment on the track: “This project was a collaboration between myself and Schemawound for the Oct 29th-Nov2 Disquiet Junto. This track takes the listener on a journey from outside a solar […]
Disquiet Junto 0450: Texture Analysis
The Assignment: Create a piece of music from sounds related to working with rocks. This project is the third of three that are being done over the course of as many months in collaboration with the 2020 Musikfestival Bern, which will be held in Switzerland from September 2 through 6 under the motto “Tektonik” (“Tectonics”). We are working at the […]
Shades of Purple
Growing tired of the usual light and dark themes for code editors I have recently stumbled on a fantastic theme for Visual Studio Code. “Shades of Purple — A professional theme with hand-picked & bold shades of purple to go along with your VSCode” Inspired by boredom or madness I decided to see if I could create a matching theme […]
Renoise – Config.xml
Recently I needed to enable developer mode in Renoise in order to use Lua scripting. You can do this by launching the Renoise executable with the argument “–scripting-dev”. The downside to this is that the developer tools will only be enabled for that session. If you would like to permanatly enable these tools you need to edit your Renoise Config.xml […]
Supercollider Code Archive
Finally took the time to sort out and upload all the Supercollider code to GitHub. Includes code for A Young Persons Guide to Time Travel, Beasts, Domestic Ghosts, Haiku, IMTBYWNYH, TWTMYBMIWTHYPS as well as Disquiet Junto projects and lots of random scraps from the archive.
Disquiet Junto 0354: Rush Toward The Flame
My submission for Disquiet Junto project 354: Rituals and Canticles. More information on the project at: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0354-rituals-canticles/16775 Uses samples of instruments built and recorded by Nathan Moody My process on this one was pretty straightforward. I chopped and repurposed the samples that Nathan provided in Renoise. I recorded some vocal breathes and dug into my library for additional percussion samples.
Triple Ripple
Note: An earlier version of this post on my old blog referenced to a video of a live performance which seems to have been taken down. Updated to point to a more relevant video of the same track One of the most fascinating things about releasing your work under a Creative Commons license is to see the life it can […]
Supercollider, Windows 10 and Sublime Text 3
For quite a while now I have been trying to get Supercollider working on my Windows 10 system to no avail. I believe the problem started after installing JACK for windows. After uninstalling and trying a number of things I am still no closer to solving the issue. Despite seeming to boot fine SCIDE will not execute any code that […]
Formula Breakdown
Yesterday I wrote a post about the Formula Device in Renoise. I kept things pretty high level and assumed a background in programming. This approach lead to some questions so I am going to attempt to break the concept down a little further. Set Your Destination The destination routing controls where the output of formula device will be sent. For this […]
Tracking Formulas
I’ve long been a fan of Renoise for the amount of control you have over every aspect of your sound. The meta devices are a key tool to utilize that control. Using these you can create, mix and route control signals within your effects chain. In many respects they are analogous to control voltage signals within a modular synth. Today while looking […]
Out Of The Shadows
A year and a half ago I released a commercial preset library for Native Instruments Razor through ADSR Sounds. The collection had some sales through them but now has run it’s course and is not longer part of their catalog. I am now happy to release the library for free. Feel free to use it in any way you like […]
Logical Clocks
Recently I have been experimenting with clock dividers and logic modules. It’s an area that often gets overlooked by newcomers to modular synthesis. Discussions of logic modules will usually only explain them from a technical viewpoint, but avoid the practical musical applications of them. For a good introductory experience, I would recommend experimenting with Reaktor Blocks. The Blocks Framework includes […]
Last Date
I have a new track out on the Last Date compilation. The compilation was put together by Travis Johnson with each artists creating their tracks from a shared series of 54 loops created by Travis.
Cyclic Defrost Interview
I was recently interviewed about my music by Jason Richardson for Cyclic Defrost. I speak about my process, drones and Creative Commons licensing.
(mistreated #008)
Three years ago I released the album “Body Movements”, it was a remix album of “They Want To Make Your Body Move. I Want To Hold You Perfectly Still.” and several non-album tracks. One of the most prolific contributors to that album was Lackthrow who provided 7 of the 15 tracks. Lackthrow contributed so much material that I edited two […]
Tweet Deconstruction: 2015-12-31
I have not posted much about Supercollider latley so I decided to take a couple minutes to break drown a recent tweet I posted. The first thing to do is to add some white space for readability. I also wrap the whole thing in parenthesis so it can still be executed as a single statement. In order to save space […]
Disquiet Junto 0194: Within My Means
Disquiet Junto Project 0194: Clock PlayRecord the sound of a clock and make something playful and sweet out of it. Sometimes Junto projects have very detailed rules, and other times the rules are, true to very first Junto project, simple and open-ended. This week’s project is the latter. (Thanks to Brian Biggs for the timely creative nudge.) Step 1: Record […]
Disquiet Junto 0161: A History Of Invisibility
Today I was lucky enough to yet again be able to submit a track for the Disquiet Junto. Disquiet Junto Project 161: Netmix Relabel The Assignment: Create a new track from three tracks from three different netlabels. These are the steps: Step 1: Create a new piece of music by using nothing but the following segments of the following songs: […]
Tweet Deconstruction: 2014-12-12
Last Friday I tweeted out the following bit of Supercollider code. Fitting Supercollider code in a tweet has always been an interesting challenge. I thought I might take a few minutes to deconstruct what I am doing with this tweet. Even if you are new to Supercollider I encourage you to follow along step by step and try to understand […]
Microbrute to Eurorack
When I first saw the release of Arturia’s Microbrute I thought it might be a very cheap entry into modular synthesis. Using it’s patchbay I figured I could use it as my basic voice and build out from it. Based on comments I saw online I am not the only one who has had a similar idea. Being new to […]
Bunker
My music recently appeared in the web series Bunker. My song Icarus In Free Fall was used in the opening scene of episode 2. Fellow Disquiet Junto participant Lee Rosevere has a track in the episode as well. Another of my songs should be appearing later in the series. So far the series is shaping up to be quite interesting […]
