Inadmissible Evidence is the tenth release from my Caustic Reverie project. It consists of an-album length piece split into 13 tracks as well as Vigils, another song in the canonical hours cycle.
1-13. Inadmissible Evidence
14. Vigils
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)
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.
Jamendo user Ivan1984 had some nice words to say about the Caustic Reverie album Mute. Here’s a snippet:
Mute is deafening, roaring silence and this is the closest I think you could get to that kind of transcendentalism, its’ allocative form is thus. What it represents is open to interpretation with infinite variables. For me, it feels very religious but that might be more to do with my subjectivity and not the intention or thought behind this massive track. At 41 minutes, something substantial happens, something is changing. Is this the link pin, that tenuous thread of ethereal substance? God spoke.
Read the full thing here, and while you’re at it, you can download the album in VBR mp3 or ogg.
Stochastic Resonance is the third Caustic Reverie album and it has been released on last.fm. The songs were fractally composed with the help of FMusic and then stretched, chopped, spliced, and mangled into the shape they are now. Enjoy!
The third Caustic Reverie album will be called Stochastic Resonance and will contain five tracks. There’s a companion piece to Vespers called Compline, though I’m not sure if I want to do the whole Canonical Hours cycle at this point. I’m still working on the artwork and final mixes, but I should have it released early next week to last.fm.
Caustic Reverie’s latest album Mute is available for on-demand streaming and download from last.fm. I’ve added two more songs in addition to the title track: Vespers and Mute (Reprise).
Here’s the latest mix of a Caustic Reverie song I’m working on with the working title of Vespers. It’s a lot shorter than the other two but much more chaotic.
I’ve released a new album-length Caustic Reverie track called Mute. This song was created with a combination of musique concrète, image-based synthesis, and a variety of spacial and temporal processing. The artwork was manipulated and mangled from a photo taken by Scott Hamilton.
