about

My first foray into MIDI-based music sequencing. Pretty bad audio quality, clipping all over the joint. Poorly mixed and arranged, but occasionally charmingly compelling instrumental tunes.

After completing Sonic Horridness in early 2004, I stumbled across a magazine called Computer Music, which was quite a revelation. I had no musical background so the whole idea of being able to make something that at least vaguely resembled real music with just software was quite exciting.

Anyway, said magazine came with a little basic DAW called ComputerMuzys, along with a bunch of free VSTs. Muzys had some limitations, like only five instrument VSTs or something like that, and a handful of effect VSTs per channel. But I experimented with it, and became especially enamoured with drum programming.

This album is the result of those first experimentations.

This is on here for historical purposes mostly. Also, at this point I'm so far removed from where I was when I did this that I can listen to it from an outside perspective and enjoy its accidentally interesting moments.

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
