Late-Night Update
I finished another album.
It's a break-up album. It's somewhat hopeful, too. It's like an amalgamation of everything I've felt over the past five days.
Here's the information from the TXT:
::
:: Artist: afk
::
::
:: Genre: Sample Culture, Folk, Indie, Experimental
::
::
:: Name: Coeval Salmugundi
::
::
:: Backstory:
I made this in one night, from 10:00 PM April 12th, to 1:51 AM, April 13th.
It is based mostly around the loss of a lover, and is a way to dwell in what
I felt when the relationship ended. What is most profound is that all the
voice samples are improvised and unplanned, and randomly set into each track
which creates a tension. 'Arguments' are placed on each side of the speaker,
so if you have the ability to, please wear headphones when you listen to this.
This album is entirely experimental, and wasn't meant to be finished in one day.
It also contains bits and pieces of in-progress BunnyTree FolkLifter songs.
The main tools used were:
* Eric's Olympus Voice Recorder VN-480PC for Samples
* FL Studio 6
* Yamaha Keyboard
* Sennheiser 202hd Headphones
The tracklist is the order in which the songs were made, and you can see
an actual change in what was going on in my head as I made each song.
Also, the really long end of Tremble Fade is a sample from Sunday.
Lauren, you should remember it. It starts off with you saying "It feels like some sort of memorial for the tree."
I'm so glad that Eric was recording when you said that. It's a beautiful quote.

:: Release Number: 10003

Tracklist:
1 - Number (More Numb)
2 - Kumquat Sasquatch
3 - Solid Ground
4 - Tremble Fade
5 - We Built A Better Breakdown
6 - Drench Solemn
THIS ALBUM IS SOMETHING YOU PROBABLY WILL NOT LIKE.
It combines sampling, talking, little to no melody, and lots and lots of layering.
If you like The Books, you'll like this I think.
