"Iris" or "Here, Have Some Noise"

Liner Notes

#CheatersDozen #electronic #abrasive

I started this one way back in late summer 2020. My daughter was 8 at the time, and I invited her to collaborate with me by basically doing a lot of button mashing on my MIDI keyboard.

The result is the synth "solo" on this piece, around which I built a fairly abrasive sound palette, which I kind of enjoy for some reason.

This is the kind of noise I really like, thank you both! Cool angle to come at a song from, and an awesome challenge to make something cohesive from an exploration. It doesn’t feel mish mashed, the abrasive feels industrial and the solo feels cinematic.

i love the timbres of the synths in this—they're abrasive suree but the initial voice that comes in really serves both as warmth and glue that ties everything together wonderfully. enjoy that gritty percussion too, that transforms into a dancier vibe at the end! this is cool

Cool story on this one, you incorporated an 8 year olds exploration so well it sounds deliberate. Nice jam.

This is fabulous. Probably what all music should but sadly won't sound like. In the future! I don't really approve of #cheatersdozen as a tag, but if it produces gems like this, well, hooray!
