Hyperion is another entry in my album of mood (moon) music. This is a mostly improvised piece that was given an asymmetrical structure to reflect a particular satellite of Saturn and it’s idiosyncratic orbit.

Trackballin’
I’ve been having some shoulder problems the past couple of months. Last week, my doctor suggested I try switching to a trackball. I figured I would immediately be having a tendonitis flareup from the repetitive thumb movement, but so far it’s been great for my whole arm. I still keep the mouse on the desk for when I need the fine control but I’m finding myself preferring the trackball for everything but FPS gaming. Maybe I’ll get skillful enough that I won’t need the mouse ever again.
I don’t want to abandon it for good for the same reason that I wouldn’t want to switch to a DVORAK keyboard layout: the possibility of being completely useless a couple of years down the road when I need to use someone else’s computer that has a different setup. I have a hard enough time telling time with an analog clock, I’d hate to find I’ve unlearned mouse motions.
In other news, I’m putting the finishing touches on Io, another track from my upcoming TheForgotton release Sub Luna. I’m almost at the point where it’s looking more like a short album and less like the EP I had originally envisioned.
4th Caustic Reverie album released
Just in time for Halloween, Caustic Reverie would like to unveil its fourth album. Drawing from elements of dark ambient, noise, and drone, Word Salad Surgery is by no means an Emerson, Lake & Palmers styled keyboard etude, but rather a nightmarish attack of Apophenia.
1. Prelude (3:08)
2. Word Salad Surgery (18:55)
3. Intermède (3:06)
4. Pareidolia (28:59)
5. Postlude (6:16)

Word Salad Surgery
The libretto of this piece comes from the poetic nonsense used to throw off spam filters and the like. The song consists of processed voice with some synthesized accompaniment.
