Remainders is a compilation of Caustic Reverie drones and soundscapes from 2009-2010 that weren’t released for one reason or another.
The first two pieces are from Helix, a multi-movement generative piece utilizing fmusic, a program by David H. Singer to compose music using fractals and Cellular Automata. Helix was planned to be a companion to Stochastic Resonance, but the project was abandoned in early 2009.
Track 3 came from a sound design session for the group Washed In Blood sometime around May of 2009. I decided to revisit the piece over a year later. There are some binaural panning effects, so I’d recommend listening to this track with a good set of headphones.
Tranquil Reflection was intended to be a collaboration with Seamus Stimpson of Swimmingpool The Band, but it seemed every time I sent him the track, his computer would malfunction. I stopped sending it to him again just in case the track was cursed.
Tracks 5-8 are from a split EP with my noise outfit Shufflebrain. All sounds came from a Korg Kaospad.
