iconDARK - The Great Machine: Labyrinth of Ash
Genre: Drone/Dark Ambient
About the Song:
"Far below the Great Machine’s burning throat sprawls the Ashen Labyrinth, an iron maze that collects and funnels the never-ending rain of ash, embers, and debris into its dark corridors. The Labyrinth has no origin, no exit, no heart from which escape might be won. It is as old as the Great Machine itself. Some say it is far older, that it is all that remains of some previous Creation that met its end in down the scalding Throat of some prior Great Machine."
The Great Machine is a series of dark ambient tracks based on background material for a novella that I wrote a long time ago... back when I fancied myself a horror writer. "Labyrinth of Ash" is the fourth of the series. The "rain of debris" that plays throughout consists of approximately twelve recorded ambient sounds. The timing is programmed but the pitches, as well as what sound plays at which time, is random... meaning that if I were to export this song again from my DAW, it would sound different. The song that you hear is totally unique and can never be reproduced exactly.

iconDARK - Encounter: The Third Kind
Genre: Electronic/Breakbeat(?)
Buy/Stream/Share: https://song.link/us/i/1443213980
About the Song:
Third in the "Encounter" series.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind: An encounter in which a moving entity is present... alien, robotic, human, or 'other'...
This song was intended to be more "dark electronic" than "Breakbeat"... but then I started playing around with power chords and things just went where they went. What a guitar riff has to do with the drum pattern, I have no idea.
I hope you like it.

iconDARK - Year of the Humanoids
Genre: Electronic
About the Song:
A remix of my cinematic-style track "Marzolf Hill". I used the same musical elements (chords, melody with minor tweaks, instruments) and added not one, but TWO breakbeat patterns as well as a bass synth layered over the tubas to make them darker and more ominous.
The title, "Year of the Humanoids", refers to the rash of UFO sightings in the southeastern United States during late 1973. An unusually high percentage of these accounts involved encounters with humanoid entities, giving rise to the name. The Center for UFO studies published a collection of notes and examinations of these and other cases under this title in 1976.

People who feel tempted to say "the guitar has too much distortion" are missing the point.

iconDARK - And Never Will Be Again
Genre: Electronic
About the Song:
A remix of my dark ambient track, "As If We Never Were." Same chords and instruments, but now with a funky beat and an even funkier guitar groove. The desolate feel of the original is still present, but it is relegated to the background.

...yes, the warning may have been distorted and unintelligible, but that`s not my problem. Besides, did you think the siren was an invitation?

iconDARK - The One That You Feed
Genre: Drone / Dark Ambient
About the Song:
Another drone-based dark ambient track. This one is intended to be more "organic" and evocative of beasts or creatures. As usual, there is plenty of FX and manipulation of reverb and samples. ...and a poem...
