/ guitar knots bonus piece :D


this piece was a practice in frustration and maybe a little joy in spite of that frustration. a little dancing. took a sample i played on a friend's guitar and proceeded to cronenberg it into something gross and freaky -- so LOL i hope it affects u somehow


(album art is a goblin i drew on snapchat featuring some eyez -- particularly nefarious seeming albeit friendly creature!)

This piece is a bit short to properly comment, but from what I can hear, it is utterly filthy in a good way. You have a talent for creating alien textures and a clear eye for rhythm. I am imagining that you did this with audacity as well, which is an achievement. Horror composers make soundscapes like these all the time for shows like American Horror Story and its discombobulated intros.

The repeating cronenberged section sounds like an auto-filter or gate, and I appreciate the organic horror, as well as how if I zone out hard enough, the sensation between psychosis, washing dishes in the back of a restaurant, and at 0:15 in particular, a surfer rock drum loop through a cochlear implant. It would be a treasure trove for sampling and BGM.

What I feel this lacks is a driving beat, structure, and cohesion between sections and phrases. As a loop, it DOES function well due to the buzzing in the left channel and throughout. This can be remedied to a degree as I mentioned earlier with creating the mangled samples in Audacity and exporting them to your DAW of choice.

I can see this as background to a dystopian animation like as Salad Fingers, owing to its atonal nature and ambient noise.

I’m actually in awe at the way you destroy these samples. I would have never guessed until the outro what you could have used to create these textures. 30 seconds literally sounded like spraying down a sink drain, and the rhythmic buzzing was an excellent choice for the outro. I have genuinely enjoyed the listen, the longer I have gone on, and as someone who doesn’t often consume this kind of music, that is surprising!

This one also could use a bit of a boost volume wise, and perhaps compression of the overall result, but it’s easy listening as is. Consider me a fan from this point on!

tbh i remember when I was making this track i was in a big ol funk and i was kinda just pushing through building it to keep my mind off of other shit, but the other shit would creep in intermittently with jabs like "wtf are you even making rn" "where is this going" "yo this shit is ass" but I was kinda just like shut up!! to myself. i am really glad i saw the effort through and this review does a lot in helping me see the value i saw innately in the process, so thank you -- sincerely!

This sounds like the kind of audio that tastes like modern art, theres no other way to explain it

JimmyTheCaterpillar responds:

ah yeah, the cutting edge!!!! 🤪
