The Wold and The Whale

Ugly and Swearing

Hi. My name is Adrian Smith. I word. I music.

The Wold and The Whale

I first began an experiment in noise sometime after the start of the new millenium with a project named Are Slacquer, which consisted mostly of single-take distorted bass exercises as fueled by rage and/or alcohol. I received a little positive feedback, but other than a few neat moments, it really deserved to be shelved quite quickly, so it was. Now that I have begun collecting bizarre effect pedals, and have an active rock n' roll band to exert such basic tendencies elsewhere, I can begin anew this more bizarre side of my musical excursions. The Wold and The Whale began, nearly accidentally, at 1am on March 17th, 2008 and continues forth whenever I feel the urge.

5. Dissipation XXXII (wav | mp3)
6. Reanimation XVII (wav | mp3)

This is my noise tribute to HP Lovecraft, even though I can't figure out what the god damn difference between Six Shots by Moonlight (as commonly found) and Six Shots by Midnight (as written in my particular edition of the story) is. Either way, once again, this stuff really isn't meant to be heard on computer speakers, which is why the WAV files are available to burn to a CD and enjoy on a proper stereo, or cause unwanted guests to vomit in terror. Physical copies will be available eventually, whenever the hell I feel like getting around to it.

This stuff really isn't meant to be heard on computer speakers, which is why the WAV files are available to burn to a CD and enjoy on a proper stereo, or cause unwanted guests to vomit in terror. This is particularly true for the first and last tracks, both of which contain copious sub-bass foolishness. Physical copies were sent out to various labels somewhere around 6 months after this whole mess was initially completed. Damn I'm quick.

This mess created and managed with Notepad and TextWrangler, both of which can mangle crudely typed raw HTML code just fine. Kirk out.

What.
