The Kaoss Octagon
A strange time here indeed...working on a series of mutated jam sessions that grew out of working with a Korg Kaossilator - strange in that after the original beats and samples were worked out, that all eight they were remixed, multi layered and generally evolved into shape, all within the space of a week. A busy time indeed.
So, without any further ado, let us nonetheless as soon as possible...
...and to round things off nicely, here are additional notes on each of the tracks featured on the album:
Theme One
Presenting for your delight and delectation the first in a
series of pieces developed using a Korg Kaossilator fed through effects and
multiple layers. THEME ONE was based on a mutated jam session and getting tow
series of different samples that they had to just get on with each other!
Theme Two
The second in a series of Themes based on jams, loops, edits
and general madness evolving from working with samples from a Korg Kaossilator.
This one is a noisy little beast with a great bass riff.
Theme Three
Chaos, Dischord, pulled back into rhythm, spinning off back
into dischord and back into a beat; layers of Kaossilator served on a bed of
white noise...
Theme Four
The Fourth track in the series of themes from these
Kaosillator sessions saw a journey into dronescapes, where ambient doesn't
always mean a new age chill, but instead can produce something altogether more
unsettling and discordant.
Theme Five
Possibly the most complex track from this series of
Kaosillator sessions - although only based through two samples fed through
Ableton and numerous effects, they were a series of loops produced direct
through Kaossilator and then edited to create just the right amounts of sync,
glitch and discordancy.
Theme Six
The mighty Theme Six from this Kaossilator series of
sessions. What make this unusual - yes, well may you laugh - is that this is
the only one from the entire series of eight pieces based on a single sample
with only a little fade in and out to make it ever so neat and tidy. Metallic,
unsettling, beautiful and irritating, all in one.
Theme Seven
Number Seven in this Kaossilator series sees a move into in
yer face beats, white noise swirls, and a scratchy loop somewhere in the back of
your brain. There are two mixes of this track, and this is the one without the
extra delay added.
Theme Eight
Theme Eight and the final piece from this series of rather
insane Kaosillator themed session moves into epic territory with a piece of
sweeping multi layered cacophony that should shake loose those stubborn bits of
ear wax and remove those last few feeble brain cells. Enjoy!
