All the sound (drums and Alien sample aside) made from the one bass riff, heavily manipulated, effected, pitched and layered, inspired by Pyramid Song and Amon Tobin.
This track was a lot of fun to put together, and especially once I started hearing the extra harmonies and spaced out hypnotising sounds come into it later on.
I spent days listening back to this, trying to be sure if the rhythm actually fits the bassline, and when you listen to the full thing, the drums fade in so you are already in the middle of a loop surrounded by swirly noises. You can get into that groove, then the bass comes in and turns everything upside down. It took me a long time to reconcile in my mind that it does fit, but it still surprises me with the timing change every time I listen to it, so, I hope that is fun and interesting for you.

A basically simple, fun and strange song, that grows and grows! The initial voice sample was from a 3 second section I chopped and stretched to fit a rhythm. All sounds other than drums are made from that clip.
There are things I did initially with this, that made the final mixing a lot more difficult than they maybe should have been, and I spent so long on this one that I no longer really know what it sounds like, (and I don't really know what I am doing with mixing, I still have a hell of a long way to go), but, I still think it is a nice little piece, so I hope you will check out its full jaunt.
Inspired I guess by the more minimal, weird, earlier sounds of Autechre and Aphex Twin, but I know it doesn't actually sound like those uberlords of electronica!

Accordion noise glitch grind?
This is the first time I've ever worked with a song using accordion, I have to admit! It actually has some pretty cool tones for drones, and works alright with distortion and blastbeats around it as well! Definitely an experimental bit of fun here!
Mix wise I couldn't get this to quite match what I had in my head, and maybe if Igorrr had got a hold of this, it would have been something monstrously large and even more chaotic. I was definitely inspired by his style for this either way, and it makes me laugh listening back to this that it got created.
The sample at the start is just too perfect as well!

The first half of this is manic glitchy noisy piano that reminds me of 1920s silent film car chases put through distortion pedals, then it breaks down into a drifty soundtrack for space travel and calmer meditative moments.
There are about 60 layers of sounds on the second part, so definitely one to immerse into with headphones.

So, I guess this is as close to a 'radio friendly unit shifter' as I might ever make, and, obviously, it's not really, but, I had the likes of Pertubator, Orbital, Carpenter Brut and co in mind with this.
I know that this is a heavily memed quote, of course, (and deservedly so, it's a favourite part of a movie for me anyway), but it fit so perfectly into the middle of this song, after how things built up in the first half and especially with what follows it, that once I imagined it / placed it on there and listened to it the first time, there was no way I could remove it.
Really proud of this as a 'nice song', that was build up from three snippets of a keyboard jam by The Littlemouse.

This is made using piano and accordion (both stretched, layered and made into drone tones) and vocals.
I love the vocal pattern on this, and instantly it conjured up thoughts of orthodox monk chants. I had to make this build up as massive as I could, but still keep it simple. I hope the swirling, building sounds will remind you of the mighty works of Godspeed You Black Emperor, Mono, Mogwai, as that is where I was aiming (of course, not in the same league as them!).
Another track that has many dozens of layers in the swirls, so, I hope you will complete this journey with your headphones on. The darker you can make the room and more focused you can be, I promise it will be worth the trust you put in the sounds.

Thumping, pulsing industrial techno with dark & edgy ambience. I love the distorted metal-like vocal elements. If they remade Akira, this release would be a perfect score!

Suspenseful and Eerie. Each track tells a story. Spirits haunting a boneyard and aliens scanning the wreckage of a battlefield are just some.of the images brought to mind.
