Things that have been hanging around, or perhaps saw a wee bit of daylight for a wee bit of time.
“Hell Jar” features the amazing rhythmic synthesis of the Serbian artist, alg0rh1tm.
“Hair Shirt”: 10-11 years back, I was presented with the idea of a concept album based on the trials and such a medieval monk would go through. Not necessarily a European monk. This is the only work to come of it. Only voices.
“Beach Lament”: Hank Tilbury created a beautiful instrumental, “Hot Summer Wind” that I’ve, um, “adjusted”.
