The Ascension

The overall mood, or concept centers around soundscapes, with experimentation that stir up strong emotions. It is ambient, ethereal, dissonant, conjunct, and droning. American multi instrumentalist, artist, song writer, composer, and performer established, 2000 to present. Newest release, https://www.reverbnation.com/broughttodeath 8/24 Fragmented Memories | Single | Ft. SeaAirUh 5/18 Laid To Waste/Rest | Lucid Version | 2004 | EP | Single 11/23 "The Reckoning" is one of two concept albums vamping ambient soundscapes, with experimental, and novel sounds evoking dreamy; nostalgia like states. Catchy, poignant, and mysterious arrangements keeping vocals, binaural beats, coupling, and morphed instruments hidden away from first listen. Gravitates, more, or less towards the warmer, and calmer side of rhythms, electronic, and analog frequencies, but with shadow plays. There is little, or no over dubbing after post production. Just pure freedom of arranging, performing. and, or vamping. Taking that understanding further, this has been my philosophy, and way of life. Manipulating frequencies, and Phonon's in new ways. Like, physicist experimenting with the aberrations of sonic vibrations. My goal is to share my passion reflect them back to the listener. Hopefully, giving new energy, feel, and direction towards the next level direction of music. I look forward to your listening in part, or in unison of what I consider to be my passion in contributing towards the visual, and auditory enjoyment of the arts. If you like what you hear, and see; let me know, fan, follow and, or, share. With that end, I thank you, for reading this far, and wish wellness always. ***Update*** "The Reckoning" (T-Shirt and Vinyl) New Release Contest Is Almost Over | Thanks to everyone who has passed the word along, and or have stopped by | To enter just drop a line, comment, lurk, or become a fan | While your here check out previous albums | Try, “Meditations To End With”, or even the older grittier albums from 2000 | I'm sure you'll find a gem in each one | 2 Winners will receive a "The Reckoning" T-Shirt or vinyl | Winners will be announced soon after New Years Day” *** Happy Holidays Everyone and good Luck*** Happy 2023 Everyone!!! "The Arrival" is a concept album using visual and propitiatory 3-D auditory holographic immersion techniques. Otherwise known in this album as H.A.P. ®™ Technology. This technology, and technique interleaves binaural, cymatics, and Real-Time 3-D audio imaging having both velocity and direction. In other words this is the direction of music and audio in the possible near future. Best heard with 5.1 surround and headphones. "The Arrival", songs are mixed in with seen or unseen worldly and universal frequencies. You may not hear it but you will definitely feel it, or notice something is different than from the last song or album you heard. The "Nibiru", album brought forth the idea for both "The Coming", Single, and "The Arrival", HD. Enjoi! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Album: Nibiru Between a Planet and a Hard Place All songs are impromptu with with minimal forethought. Most songs are dark with core rhythms, based around detuned guitars, bass, electric drums, synth, mic, etc., with other musical loops or aberrations thrown in spontaneously. I would venture to say the over all mood is much like a very heavy mantra. This is a solo work while playing and or looping live. This is done through "on the fly" sampling through whatever device or instruments needed for the basic construct of that song. What do I sound like? The mood behind the music is ethereal, dissonant, conjunct, droning, experimental, gravitating, more or less, towards the darker core side of rock or metal music. I guess I could be summed up as shoegaze or dreamgaze. Depending on the mood, what you hear now, will vary the next time around. There is little or no over dubbing after post production, just pure freedom of arranging, performing and or looping. Let me warn you ahead of time. You will need to set aside time to listen to the songs as they are lengthy by nature, as I intended them to be. My music is exploratory, so mood, setting and location is key. Unfortunately due to length of the songs, the playback bit rates will be FM quality. (Not that MP3's sound any better) Last but not least, I hope my current project hits a chord within you, and you enjoy it, give me a shout. Thanks for listening, The Ascension
