water loosely of an open palm.

the stars heading for our heads Blow up explosion, i don't see futures beyond the places i go and yet some still adorned like crowns Forcefully, unwanted.

meaning and all these things, enough of it - sweeping across the rivers and plains to bury in skin from their hungry mouths.

everything as is, baptisms as is, nude as is. sometimes other paths to see but never walk.

The heralds of life command armies of sorrow today.

made the switch over to linux, here's the first thing I made just using native bitwig stuff.

another cool collab between some folks i know.

classic album, a collaboration between Fennesz and Ryuichi Sakamoto

i should write more, or just update this blog more, but tbh i'm just way more interested in making music these days. it's been fun.

i got a lot of nice comments about my album "personhood" too in various discords i'm in (plugging again btw hehe find it here https://new-battalions.bandcamp.com/album/personhood). proceeds go to paying my power bill lol.

i thought of using instagram to promote more but i just don't care really, i try to avoid most social media in general outside of discord and tumblr. It's important to be in the world. i would like to learn something like touchdesigner for short videos but the more i think about it the more uninterested i get. And with the advent of ai i don't want to be accused of using ai. Which speaking of I saw Arcologies had a new release on youtube (atmo jungle producer that's very good) and attached all their Renoise project files which i would love to have a gander at. Sadly i don't use renoise, I use bitwig.

anyway i'm already working on ideas music wise again, i got one track mixed already, i think i might do a smaller release like an ep or something of stuff. kind of like afterthoughts of personhood, think I'm gonna call it "All Endless". or at least that's the working title. I would love to do something like Loscil, GAS, or this new album I discovered by Appleblim called "Liminal Tides" but the sounds are a bit beyond me at the moment. But that's ok we learning. I just have so many ideas and not the skills to do them yet, but we'll get there.

see ya.

hey all, decided to release my album early (just in case civilization does end tonight) but also cause I was kind of just sitting on it when I'm ready to move onto the next thing.

It's a bit of a concept album in that it reflects on my inner self and personhood. Starting out kind of melancholy, but ending kind of hopeful. As if to say "hey i'm here it's alright".

hope you guys enjoy.

another song off my upcoming album. inspired by the "Intermediate State" as described in various religions and philosophies. Album will be out on April 13th and you'll be able to find it on my bandcamp. https://new-battalions.bandcamp.com/

thanks for listening.

oddly i've had a confidence problem lately, mostly with making music. I just don't think it's very good y'know? Been in the dumps.

i've always had this issue where whenever someone tells me something i do is good i don't believe them, and then if i get no response it just reaffirms the belief that what i'm doing is awful or wrong somehow.

what a shitty thing.

[new-battalions]

good album.

[new-battalions]

hey all, released a new song titled "Lovely Cuddly Horrid Horrid Form". It'll be on my upcoming ambient and downtempo album "personhood". For this song I wanted to do ambient, but also add a break to it, and liked how it turned out. hope y'all enjoy.

I'll post more songs, and eventually a link to the album, as they're ready.

thanks.

i love this album.

it's a balance really, isn't it. like all things i suppose. even the earth, at least her habitability, is a balancing act. so too what's inside of us, as well as ego and non-ego.

//

i think, at my sickest, it killed off what was left. but i came back from that place. i built a person after it, and that person is this Me Now.

//

sometimes, it still creeps up. I feel it dragging at times, to send the Me Now back and destroy it. invade my body, separate it like Horus. the Other, the bastard thing.

gorillaz - the mountain is a good ass album dude. damn.

[new-battalions]

armageddon // 10 Point Buck // chances of rain

all our faces forgettable, your heart frightens me when it peers inside

//

fear the loud listeners, for they want to hear themselves talk Muted emotions mentioned and they'll always speak of strength.

//

over and outbound, eyes in trees. Sees me, the You knowledge how did you get to heaven?

i'm drowning in mountains and uphill battles, trumpets blare for the signals and I got t-shirts, ratted and torn of my favorite gods. I'm human before I get the chance to go home.

it does kind of seem like those that would desire to shed ego, have never lived within the pain of not having an ego at all.

//

one of these days i'll stop mashing qcb. MK when I want to do juri's fuha kicks, and getting super 3 and subsequently whiffing it just to die. One day.

other thoughts fill a reflecting pool in the forest where you kissed me a first time and a last time and without you I am Found in the city streets.

the limbs become rotating villains, staying and leaving and holding and giving always in conjunction with their surroundings.

tall things, either trees or buildings, always overshadowing the paths. I would like for this path to be perpendicular and not parallel, so we meet in a future where I'm healthier and not muted in color.
