Music for Isolation Tanks. X equals X (X = X), is the repository for my slower expermimental midi noodlings of whatever comes into my head during the small dark hours between reality and dreams. Drones, lots of manipulation overlaying and slowing down of my original files. ______________________________________________________________________________ In my twenties I shared a house with several other students. Whilst they were listening to the Sex Pistols, Ramones and the Clash. I was listening to Boulez, Cage, Penderecki, Ligetti, Reich and Berio, along with a bit of Shostakovich, Berlioz and Mahler amongst others and the Clash, Coil, Faust, toad the wet sprocket and suchlike. Occasionally my housemates would venture into my darkened hashish scented lair and say what the fuck is this you are listening to. They would linger ( due to the aroma and its source) and with patience and time they would eventually say things like, this isn't bad. My only hope is that some of those composers ( or my now rapidly approaching old age flat mates) mentioned above would venture here and say something like, this isn't bad. If only they weren't all dead ( The composers, not my mates ... yet). Ive still got some dope left!
