A abstract ambient type piece. Ear goggle friendly. Credits: Omnitechnomatrix Open Loops

Shackled & blindfolded my captor & I marched onward down the long hallway I heard the sound of a key inserted in a lock & a rusty hatch thrown open, shackles & blindfold were quickly removed & I was tossed into the oubliette left to rot & fester in the dank dark hole destined to be one of the forgotten.

A bit of progressive electronica done up improv style. This song features my own work using Rob Papen's Albino VSTI synthesizer by Linplug Virtual Instruments. Very smokeable. Credits: David Fuglewicz Open Loops, Omnitechnomatrix Open Loops

This song was written for my very good friend Chuck Barnett who passed away January 14th,08 from injuries which occurred from a motorcycle accident about 5 days prior. Missed deeply. One final farewell a salute perhaps. Thanks to Cystem for the awesome guitar loops. The mix is very ear goggle friendly & smokeable. Play Loud. It includes only guitars & fx.

A extended 6 part journey. Various styles represented all blended into this long player. Electro, ambient, dark ambient, experimental electronics, Electro Accoustics, Soundscapes. Ear Goggle friendly. Part 2 is sort of a reworking of the G-Day track Sleep Deprivation the part is much shorter than the original track & a bit different, I wanted to use these loops in a regular mix as the G-Day loops & project was a improv type thing where we had a short time frame window to create a mix. Some vox from various film clips. Enjoy!

First in a series of tracks to be released over time, the tracks in the series will all be reworking's of music that has been released by Harsh Reality Music over the years. All done with the original artists permission.
This track is a reworking of the original track "Who's Talkin' Bout UFO's" which was originally released on cassette tape by Harsh Reality Music in 1987. The track is from HR041 - Alien Planetscapes - Everybodys Mad At Amerikkka - C90 cassette release. The original was recorded March 23, 1987 at Space Station Studios, Brooklyn, NY. All improvised live. The entire album is dedicated to Amy Carter & Abbie Hoffman & was also for Fran Tatz Walker whose tolerance & support of AP was so vital! All proceeds from this tape went to help expose the CIA & were sent to "Covert Action Information Bulletin". They have provided info on CIA covert actions hidden from the Amerikkkan people since 1978. www.covertactionquarterly.org/

King Leo otherwise known as Lee the O.G. the O.D, just approaching 9 years of age, contracted diabetes 4 years ago, controlled by insulin shots for the last 4 years, well the King seems to have decided to go off like Lion Kings do. 9 days ago he went off as usual on his daily routine in which he returned around dusk or before, but this time never returned. This is his song! RIP King Leo wherever you are.
The break represents the diagnosis of feline diabetes.

A soundscape for the mind. As one enters the barren wasteland one is surrounded by desolation & winds whipping your face & body, you traverse on & everything becomes more & more intense, harsh winds, gravel & dirt pelts your body, pieces of dead trees rip at your clothes,all you can see is desolate barren wasteland but you push on persistent in your course & plan to reach the other side to satisfy your curiousity as to what actually lies on the other side.
