Amber Winds

Album info:

This entire album was recorded over 7 days, where I barely slept at all, and was recorded to tape with physical instruments. It was produced using a Pyle mixing desk, a JD-Xi synthesizer, Korg VolcaBass, two handset radios, and two cheap tape decks.

Disharmony

Disharmony was an experiment with my tape decks I had picked up at walmart and modified, as well as feedback loops. There was no planning in this track, and it lacks a lot of musicality, sticking more in the experimental distorted genre.

Forgotten Voices - Amber Winds

Forgotten Voices and Amber Winds were one take, but two interlinked tracks. I had been experimenting with a bass synthesizer, as well as radio channel skipping in Forgotten Voices, whilst using a recording of a bass synthesizer slowed down significantly to make the dirty fluttery mess it became. As for Amber Winds, it is named for the wind-like sounds produced by messing with the playback speed by half-pressing the pause button, continuing the bass motif from Forgotten Voices.

Paralysis

Paralysis was a real case of perfect timing to start recording, as I just so happened to start recording seconds before a radio show started talking about sleep paralysis, and the horrors of it. I had been recording at about 3AM at this time, and hadn't slept in five days at this point, due to a condition I have. The radio show entirely inspired this track on the spot, and I tried for a more mysterious, eerie track.

Sadness of a Broken Dream

I believe Sadness of a Broken Dream was chronologically the first track recorded in Amber Winds, and it came out as a reverb-heavy, delay-flooded, melancholic, experimental noisescape, much like the rest of the album.
