about

Collapsing Star
--------------------------------
Three part "suite" of material that was me in "soundtrack" mode. I'm reluctant to refer to it as an epic because there aren't really melodic/harmonic motifs carrying across all three parts.

At some point it might be fun to do soundtrack-type work again, if the right project came along and I had the time/inspiration.

Part III:
I wanted the sound of watching a star explode into itself and the sheer brutal majesty of such a powerful, destructive cosmic event.

The skeleton of this track came from an experiment with the Yamaha Reface CS and the Meris Ottobit Jr pedal. The high pitched whistle noises and distortion are from a cool touch device called a Landscape Stereo Field. The leads are a Deckard's Dream patch I put together.

I won't pretend that Sunn O))) wasn't at least somewhat of an influence on this track. But so was Hans Zimmer's brilliant work on Blade Runner 2049 and more.
