Machine Malaise Parts 1 & 2 Machine Malaise Parts 1 & 2
You are inside a very precise machine in its death throes as it grinds to a halt. One of the most abstract pieces we've ever created.
Redshift Redshift
Time and space have begun to stretch and distort as we move into the unknown of infinity...
China/Cult Of The Spider China/Cult Of The Spider
Composed of two older pieces that just never found an end, we finally got the perfect final touches from the wonderfully talented Steve Thomas and his whacked out, atmospheric guitars.
Eclipse.BUZZTUBE Eclipse.BUZZTUBE
Eclipse was created from an improv at least ten years old. Robbie recorded this when he bought his first E Bow and it is basically a trimmed down very spacy improv. BUZZTUBE was composed from new sessions from Jeff using his various custom processors
Strung Up Strung Up
A song two years in the making. Zozimo Rech and Adrianne Simioni of the phenominal Astronomusic graciously contributed the very special final touches to a song constructed with Chapman Stick and guitars by Jeff McLeod, synthesizer/production by Alan
Evisceration Is No Way To Get A Guy's Attention Evisceration Is No Way To Get A Guy's Attention
Jeff's Deleriously Wicked Stick With Tons of Gene Splicing. All Sounds Created On Stick.
Pulsymphony Part 1 Pulsymphony Part 1
Pulsymphony Part 2 Pulsymphony Part 2
Three Faces Three Faces
This soundscape explores 3 different themes and was composed of 99% guitar, provided courtesy of Steve. This has slowly crept up to the top of our favorites list.
Kill The Smart Ones First Kill The Smart Ones First
Kill The Smart Ones First emerged from a single session with Jeff's harsh and atonal processed guitar. This has a decidedly 'King Crimsonesque' feel. The tone takes an unexpected right turn with the addition of Jeff's Chapman Stick textures.
Hostile Makeover Parts 1 & 2 Hostile Makeover Parts 1 & 2
Insanely Distorted Guitar Composition (Parts 1 and 2)
FREAK FREAK
Construct created from guitar and Chapman Stick performances from Jeff. Much layering and looping here.
Mutant Virus Mutant Virus
Fun With Voices And Processed Guitar And Bent Loops And Other Silliness
Chime Factory Part 1 Chime Factory Part 1
Falling Far Short Of Lifelike Falling Far Short Of Lifelike
Second part of the ambient Syncopated Parts 1 & 2. I considered not breaking them up but felt I might as well post at least part of the whole composition. Wonderful abstract guitar meanderings, synth tones and dinosaur moans by David Briggs!!!
Battery Acid Battery Acid
Hard and atonal. Created entirely from guitar. Absolutely no synth was used.
2nd & 3rd Thoughts On An Improv 2nd & 3rd Thoughts On An Improv
This song came from an improv session with Steve playing just freeform, wacked out stuff. So we chopped it up, gave it a little structure and gave it a funny name. Not a typical Xvektor song, but we liked it so what the hell...
