LUCIFTIAS

Minimalist ambient drone...

Solarispherean Mediations is now available!! You can check it out now on Bandcamp, Funkwhale (via Open.audio), Bandwagon.fm, and Internet Archive!

The two tracks on this album represent the opposite ends of the spectrum for how I create. On one hand, there is an original, unmodified guitar improvisation inspired by tone clusters. On the other, there is the mutated and manipulated evolution of that recording. One captures what I played and how I felt at a particular time and place while the other demonstrates what happens when I let my sonic brushes touch the canvas. Both are inescapable parts of who I am.

The Day After the End of Time is now available from Eg0cide Productions! You can check it out on Bandcamp, Funkwhale (via Open.audio), and the Internet Archive.

This is 4-track EP with a strong focus on minimalism. This time around, I was inspired to experiment with no-input mixing after listening to various works by Failure Circle. Of course, the source material got the Luciftias treatment. The last piece to be added was created by pushing what can be done with the output from the image2sound utility I'm developing. Ironically, this was not one of the planned releases I mentioned back in June so be on the lookout for more material in the near future...

The Music page has been updated with information about a couple collaborative efforts with Annihilist Provisional Disorder dating back to 2013/2014 as well as a compilation appearance from last year.

In other news, I have multiple different releases on the horizon! One is an EP of sorts featuring more guitar-based collaborations with my cousin, Caleb. The next builds on no-input recordings provided by past collaborator, Florian from Eg0cide Productions. Another incorporates a variety of techniques that hearkens back to the style of 2009's Textures album. Lastly, might be a long-delayed album-length track recorded back in 2021!

Aside from the gradual transition from the WordPress site (Dronomancy) to this one here on Neocities, there are a few scraps of news I can share. The details are still in very sparse at best, however, I would like to report two collaborations are in the discussion phase. Each collaboration will be with someone with whom I've worked in the past. (Hint: Think Symbiogenesis / Suspended Blades and Argedco Dosig g Manin / The Sin of Collaboration.) There's also a strong possibility of a new Luciftias release on eg0cide at some point in the future.
