Disquiet Junto
I’ve created a short piece of music this weekend for the Disquiet Junto. Each week, there is a new composition challenge posted. This week’s challenge involved text-to-speech as a rhythmic element. For more info on the Junto, click here.

Shufflebrain on the radio
Underground German radio outfit Temple of Despair has recently featured a track from Shufflebrain on the program Unknown Pleasures. Check it out!
Experiments in a Holographic Universe
Released June 23rd 2009, the first Shufflebrain venture is a fusion of noise and ambient. Tortured vocals, heavily processed guitar, and chaotic synthesizers were utilized in these first five experiments. There was a disc crash during the recording of Experiment 4, and the three remixes are alternate reconstructions given the remaining files. It is also available to download from Jamendo.
1. Experiment 1: A Hologramic Theory (4:21)
2. Experiment 2: (redacted) (6:55)
3. Experiment 3: Sense Intensification (4:30)
4. Experiment 4: Memory Overflow (12:15)
5. Experiment 4.1: Memory Recall (6:38)

An experiment in noise
I’ve just started yet another project, this one devoted to noise and power electronics. I have called it Shufflebrain after the book by Indiana University PhD Paul Pietsch.
Check out the first track: Experiment 1: A Hologramic Theory.
I’ve put up a bare bones myspace site as well.
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.
