about

Part II in the 'dark' trilogy.

Every Sickness features my cat at a young age trying to eat moths. As well as some birds.

Mind Ladders is a very old track made in 2004 I think. There's a Janitor talking about being in the WTC during the 9/11 attacks in there somewhere.

iphone6 is one of the first tracks I made in realtime ie a 'jam'. The sample is taken from a livestream video during some riots in America (not the current ones, sometime in 2015). the phone the guy was livestreaming with was stolen mid-stream and the thief can be heard saying he's scored an iphone6 to a passerby.

Gabagool was made by someone else entirely when I was showing them how to use my DSP mangling software.

Clown Geometry was made with some Belgian guy.

Jan + Jam = Jan = Jam = Janjam is the aftermath of tripping on truffles with some guy in the Netherlands. It's a recording of us wandering around Den Helder (translation: The Door to Hell) on our comedown.

Illegal Energy features internet user ET expressing his misgivings about another internet user known as Hello Spiral, on the very entertaining Acquiring The Taste podcast: acquiringthetaste.com/podcast/
The backing track iirc was made from scraping chairs across my kitchen's floor 15 years ago.
