I've released an EP on Bandcamp, Headache Techno

Evening all.

I’ve come to a realisation recently that, just as in school, all my best work seems to be the result of banging something out in under an hour and moving on.
In celebration of this I give to the world my first EP of music. All four tracks were put together and recorded live in under an hour each. Not that that was the aim at the start, they are merely the product of a busy life leaving little room for fucking about. I’ve kept them as raw as when they were performed because I think they have their own energy and kind of sit together well as a collection. All tracks have been posted on here individually at some point, a byproduct of my need to overshare. All tracks were created using various combinations of Digitakt, Digitone, DFAM and Lyra 8 with various FX and a heat on the master buss.
I’m hoping to spearhead a whole movement of people united in the quest to give unsuspecting Bandcamp hipsters mild headaches.

Really enjoying the energy and apocalyptic vibes so far man! Nice work and great that you decided to get it out there.

Been planning on adding a DFAM to my Lyra here for ages now, and this has me hovering irresponsibly over the Buy button

PS It’s clapping day tomorrow, don’t forget that set for the neighbors you promised

It’s a great combo, I have many takes of just those 2, mostly without external fx, lately added a tape delay and a spring reverb. It feels like an electronic unplugged session.

Thanks so much.

You will forever be remembered as the first customer at the altar of No Masters.

Probably the last, too, but definitely and without question, the first.

I was all set to do it, then I mentioned it to my wife. She thinks that the several 80+ year olds on our cul de sac might find that they’d be struggling with more than a headache if I was to carry out my threat as planned.
It’s put the plan on hold, somewhat.

How about half speed… Maybe put a nice Perry Como acapella over it.

My wife’s 5 months pregnant, I’m not about to do anything to piss her off, her rage grows stronger and more powerful every day (she’s Darth Vader force choke powerful already).
Call me a coward if you like, but I’ll be doing as I’m told at home for the forseeable.
Perry Como remix though…

Impressive work, considering it’s all done very quickly. Isn’t it funny how that works. It doesn’t give me a headache tho? :thinking: hmmm must play LOUDER!

As has been said many times before, maximum volume yields maximum results.

Good work man. 1 and 3 are my favorites. Bought and goes in my collection to DJ with. If I ever pick up Dj’ing that is.

Thanks, your generosity is much appreciated.
Tracks 1 and 3 are just a DFAM and Lyra 8 (plus a bunch of FX and Analog Heat) semi-improvised live.
Tracks 2 and 4 are the Digitwins and Analog Heat.

Yeah I like the minimal rawness there! Gotta borrow my pal’s DFAM one of these days.

Btw, marketing wise, on synth nerd fora we care about gear and recording methods but music explorers on bandcamp probably do much less. How about an album text that talks more about intent, mood and/or character than tech?

Thanks for the advice, I am absolutely useless at marketing, so any advice is greatly appreciated.
I’ll get my wife to write something, she’s proper wordy.

So the wife and I reached a compromise on the sound system…

Tracks 1 and 3 are great, especially 3, right up my street. Think I might need a DFAM !!!
