Last Moments
Extremely abstract composition using microtonal sounds, tape manipulation of instruments, prepared piano, and found sounds.
This album was composed and created between 2005 and 2024, during an intense period of musical exploration that drew on all my years of study. This album features complex compositions that weave together various interchanging modes, cluster chords, rotating meters, shifting tempos, and elements of 12-tone serial music. My primary goal was to craft an album that not only stretched my own capabilities but also pushed the boundaries of combining minimalism, dissonant terror, and raw beauty. I personally played all the instruments on this album, which include a range of sampled traditional acoustic instruments, electronic tones, and processed sounds, such as prepared piano, and micro tuned instruments. At times, my own voice also blends into this intricate sonic landscape.

This album was produced in days before practical AI had been invented for making music, and is 100% human generated.
