about

This was the first "album" I ever recorded. It was recorded in one take on an old Sony audio cassette recorder in 2002, at a time when I had no musical skill whatsoever, using a my younger sister's Yamaha keyboard. It's here for curiosity purposes only.

The "story" is about an ancient cthulhu-esque space god bringing about the end of the world or something. In spite of its near worthlessness as a piece of music, there are parts of this that I still find interesting and amusing, if nothing else.

The way the 33 "movements" work is that when I was first recording this from tape into digital, I roughly split the file wherever I changed keyboard voice, and built the flimsy illusion of narrative through ridiculous titles for each. I performed a minor restoration in 2013 and re-edited this disaster into three tracks instead of the 33 original tracks, so if you really must digest this awful thing, at least it'll be more manageable.

Bastion: Original Soundtrack
by Darren Korb

A really great soundtrack to a really great independent game. Country & western trip-pop meets folksy blues twang. Or something... Absolutely my favourite video game soundtrack since Limbo. timidelfdesigns

Limbo (Original Videogame Soundtrack)
by Martin Stig Andersen

Speaking of Limbo, I love this soundtrack for reasons which should be quite apparent. It's an acousmatic/electoacousitc type deal, and fits perfectly into the game's monochrome aesthetic. timidelfdesigns

NO
by Old Man Gloom

GLOOM on all stations in all nations. 2012's Summer of GLOOM. The first Old Man Gloom record in 25,000 years, bearing the mass of 50,000 suns, and sweeter than the honey of 75,000 bees. timidelfdesigns
