Pleased to announce the release of a new royb0t full-lengther, Gradient Ascent.
This album highlights 13 of 52 tracks created in the third iteration of Weeklybeats, posing the challenge to musicians to create 1 track each week for the full year in 2016. This disciplined approach allowed for greater exploration of sonic qualities that have harbored an undercurrent in the development of my musical interests. This release encompasses sounds of cinematic atmospheres, unpolished industrial, vocal articulations, technoid power electronics, chilling ambient and glitchy idm. Some tracks may have more evident nods and touchstones, but serve as exercises while suggesting some potentialities for future releases as well.
As a companion to the release, “Breather Tracks” is a 5-track VHS featuring 4 Ambient/Dark Ambient tracks created during Weeklybeats 2016. Bonus "Reality Check” Video also included. Running time: 15 minutes. Limited edition of 13.
