person.

[new-battalions]

in the giving tides gifts for the mouth horse.

a little absurd, this duality of man boiled down to the algorithm.

floorboards break and snap, the house collapse, polygon wireframes fold.

Biting into fruit from the garden, bliss some squires say.

//

i'm driving, not there or a nail to build a staircase with. driving, streeight lights love me enough to show me paths. (preconstructed, preordained)

This is who are, will be. I hate god, I love god. I'm a dragon of no gold.

pick apart my atoms for the cosmics, give it to my partner, give it to anyone with star flowers pprotruding from their forehead. I love them so much.

//

we, at opposite ends of the time blankets that separate us. Cover us up together in one bed, my bodies next to hers and his. with the whole of the sea at our limbs. Floating floating.

In the outer forces, a remembrance of being small.

[new-battalions]

adventures in.

i'm just not interested in existing right now, try later.

//

the way fields of long grass sway in the wind.

//

Too low to the ground, mostly due to laying against it. for any wings left melted in the appalachian summer. this soul humming with the cicadas.

[new-battalions]

ugh and suddenly getting audio popping issues in bitwig, both in playback and in renders, and after hours of troubleshooting i still don't know why.

[new-battalions]

first track for a compilation finished, dunno when it'll be finalized. the due date was july 15th so it might be a bit before the label releases it.

i'm hoping to get another track out for a different compilation, and then finally finish "all endless" by august but yeah.

i will say I kind of cooked on this compilation track, looking forward to everyone hearing it. It turned out a pretty nice little drone song. I did get some comments that it should be longer cause it's good, but I rather be on the short and sweet side then overly long and uninteresting.

vitamin d deficiency

so a lil delicate stone you weaved into madness, your memories vomiting in the kitchen sink again.

they say to let it sow, or maybe it was to reap, every action begets hereditary lines, completed by birthmarks.

and there is the Me Now, listening to squirrels in a sealed off chimney. They say you're getting better. and maybe enjoying life, and maybe dreaming.

squirrels, fan hums, and a fear of something . And there is emotion conjoining to your chest like a twin in the womb eating the other.

[new-battalions]

album's a bit delayed, had a burnt out phase, but i'll be here someday pinky promise.

in the meantime, working on some tracks for compilation albums with other skilled musicians/producers. Keep an eye out for it yep yep.

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.

[new-battalions]

another cool collab between some folks i know.

[new-battalions]

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.

[new-battalions]

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.
