You guys are insane and adorable. "Ripping Hearts" got selfreleased in the end, and that's it. I don't think I have covers left for extra copies now and am not sure whether it deserves to be spread more than it already was. "KWNOBOTR" had a different backstory and did need to see...

I went from making field recordings of my days with a Fisher Price boombox or playing my Bontempi keyboard through a horribly distorting karaoke machine as a very little kid to getting way into extreme metal and hardcore punk while I was in middle school, and my parents would also take me to free ja...

It can be pretty "normal" too (it's all over Dire Straits' "Sultans Of Swing"'s guitar solo for instance), and that' s actually what I love about compressors. They can be some kind of always-on pedal that just makes everything sound better in general. But the Orange Squeezer can ...

I've built quite a few Orange Squeezer compressors over the years. It's one of my favourite pedals to use. I think it sounds great on bass, guitar, drum machines, tapes, noise, and the cool thing is that you can mod them easily and turn them into "weird" pedals like, not really a compresso...

Personally I use a Radio Music. Straight to the point.

Messed up ears don't prevent you from making aesthetical choices according to what you hear, nor do they hear things wrong. They just hear. That's actually quite reassuring, coming as it does from a person responsible for the some of the most interesting and nuanced textural explorations currently ...

I knew that it was too good of an idea to not have been taken! I recognize some of the other projects in your signature, so I will check this out.

Cheers, man.

Nice rhythmic stuff!

Thank you.

I'm actually surprised that there are not more projects involving ideas of Christianity. Sexual anxiety/shame blended with a Christian sense of guilt/sin would be a great thematic basis for a project, now that I think of it. Shameful plug : check out Droit Divin. That's pretty much what we do. I kn...

Would it be better to a) record the shit straight to DAW, with the purest possible signal, and then fiddle with EQs n such or b) feed through an EQ-torqued analog mixer prior to the DAW, with a marginally diddled signal, and then fiddle with EQs n such One option is not really "better" th...

I've been blasting the last Gorephilia's album lately. I love everything they did before but that last record really sounds like what Morbid Angel's "Domination" should have been. The last Mortiferum album also caught me off-guard. And I have yet to find current BM bands that are exciting ...

I love it. I like junk sounds better when you can hear the room they've been recorded in, by the way. I think it adds to the textures. Also, it's easy to make it all sound bad or not as good. when you're just contactmic'ing everything. I've done it before but poorly, in retrospect. I just pretend to...

I think Zombi took a bad turn after "Shape Shift" and actually, so did Majeure, which is huge bummer for me. I did not really love 2020 and kind of wrote it off as “a grower” but I listened yesterday and it’s not really growing on me the way I’d hoped. I thought Shape Shift was one of the...

Forbidden Planet by Louis & Bebe Barron. Flat out the best soundtrack of all time imo. This one is so great. Just absolutely perfect and so ahead of it’s time. [basic post incoming] I’m a real sucker for Goblin and will buy almost anything from their “classic years” (I do not get down with the ...

MOTU interfaces are better when they work. They're a freaking pain in the neck to setup and use in my humble opinion. My teachers at school (you'd believe people who can use Ableton and MaxMSP with their eyes closed would know how to use a MOTU interface) would lose their mind because of how unpredi...

As a listener: I listen to most of my music on digital format mostly for convenience. I spend most of my day outside at work or commuting, and when I'm home, there are lots of things I don't want to subject my girlfriend to, and that includes brutal music. I therefore use my headphones a lot, and fo...

Nice! Yeah Fannar from Dauðyflin plays in D7Y with me. Drop me a message when you know if you’ll be able to come over and I’ll recommend some stuff to do around here.

Ooooh nice! And thank you very much, will do 🙂

I've been really into feedback loops. There's constantly a huge amount of interesting pedals for sale locally, so I keep picking up 1-2 pedals a month for less than 100 bux each. Building long pedal chains and seeing what comes out is fascinating. I should really get into tape loops, I have all the...

And hardcore/punk is my main passion really even still. Grew up with it, been about it for... over 20 years now? Shit, probably 25 years. Played in a few bands through the years, these are my two current bands: https://youtu.be/PfirbzZwfDc https://youtu.be/_NR1NYxBlrE I'll check these out. I haven'...

Mix with your ears, not your eyes, and if possible with monitors, not headphones.

My IG is filled with pictures of my cats.

Lilou, 10 and a half is a super grumpy princess.

Natto, 4 and a half, is a stinky and dumb cat who thinks she's a dog or something. She's currently sleeping on my belly right now.

I love them both to bits.

iron lung - life. iron lung. death. weird, noisy powerviolence. some instant classics on this one. lots of crossed out riffs mixed in with dissonant chords and mid-tempo blastbeats. I remember going to see them live many years ago as they were touring the UK with Municipal Waste. The venue was pack...

Whatever you record in them?

Exactly. I also love loops on which the tape is so ruined the sound source just blends with the tape to create a texture.

The whole WCN batch this was a part of is a total winner. One of the most satisfying drops of tapes in a while. I can't tell you what was in the batch to be honest, I just got the tape in a trade. Primitive Isolation Tactics, me (under govt name), Jackson-Pratt, Urall, Presage… Forgetting anyone? R...

URALL" Facing The Ground Instead" tape - Amazing ambiant tape noise ? The whole WCN batch this was a part of is a total winner. One of the most satisfying drops of tapes in a while. And as for Magnetic Coroner I spent a lot of time with Keeping in Touch recently, maybe my favourite of Wes...
