Garage Days

Today it’s a nice, smiling Sunday. And I felt like I have to smile back. 🙂 So, I dig out some tracks that were send to me by Grigore (Oedip Piaf) with one of them songs: “Detentie” (Detention) , and I cut off Serban’s guitar track, I used some parts of it and other parts were re-sampled and I write a brand new theme for them, give life to a new song. 😀
It’s always exciting to work on something and re-arrange it to become something totally different, to give birth to another thing. That’s the reason why I – still – insist on my collaboration without frontiers idea. And the doors for it are still wide open.
“Garage Dayz” is kind of dirty, dusty blues rock song, I’m not actually into blues at all, but this one feels alright. 🙂 Read more Garage Days

The Last Elephant

Yesterday was the last time when I released a new song, here we go again, I’ve got another one: The Last Elephant. Maybe I’m not a creative genius, but still, I’m at least productive. 😀 Written for the same album, “The Ghost of the Absent Father”, this is a more darker song with kind of aggrotech/EBM resonances, industrial textures. It has a slow-grinding passage colored nicely with a gentle piano and a string orchestra, but still, this is pretty intense I guess. Not too sophisticated, straight and pumping.

Father’s Day

It’s been a while since I managed to wrote something for this album. While I successfully managed to smash my photo camera, I returned to some old habits: my colors and brushes. And well, keeping this site running, eat up quite much of my time as well. On the other hand, actually I wrote a few themes and songs lately but none of them did fit right in the “concept” of this album – among others obviously – I’m working on. Well, I’m kind of busy guy, carefully I always keep my own agenda full. Being my own boss enforced full and merciless tyranny over myself. Still, no results for this ruthless exploitation, but the future – always – is wide open and really I don’t have any other choices.
Anyway, this one is quite simple, smooth – I guess -, well balanced and sort of happy, careless. I wish I could write more of this kind. Read more Father’s Day

I try to convince others to collaborate, create together. It seems harder than I thought, people mostly are preoccupied with their own shit. I can’t blame anybody, the world today is a pretty fucked-up place, and well, the worst is still to come I guess. Last year I put together a set of recordings with the core of the band Oedip Piaf and some contribution from Mr. Winteller from London, that was “Badtime Stories” (you can grab it for free, by the way), a noisy, gloomy, kind of experimental album which shifting between different genres from punk to free jazz and back to rock through psychedelic whatever.
The experiment still running, I write themes, song structures and I send the tracks around, anybody interested to participate, are welcome. I wrote this theme called “The Mustard Seeds”, Mr. Winteller and the guys from Oedip Piaf have their fun with it and send me back their tracks and I mixed them into one. This is the result: Read more themuztard seedz

Marc Broude – Psychological Warfare (2011)

Reminds me of Ministry, Godflesh, Schnitt Acht, Bail and other contorted oddities from the industrial metal area of noise aggression, Marc Broude comes crushing. Marc Broude (born August 23, 1984) is an American cross-genre composer who started in the Chicago-based noise outfit Panicsville in 2005. He has collaborated with a diverse array of artists and groups including Cock E.S.P., Richard Ramirez and Lasse Marhaug. In 2010 Broude and Tim Lash formed Sick Spider. In 2009 Broude released Rites of Zen, a seventy-two minute dark ambient piece similar to projects like Lull and Lustmord. Working independently of major labels, Marc Broude primarily records for his own label, NoZen Records.
“Psychological Warfare” was originally released in 2006 as a 50 piece limited edition 7” which became out of print and unavailable, it was digitally remixed and re-released in May 2011. Two tracks, “Psychological Warfare” and “God Smacker”, 11:33 minutes containing pumping, grinding, twisted, extreme and noisy, quality industrial metal.
