                                                Front and back inlays for "Infrared Sauna"


Just a shade over 22 minutes of minimalist machinations.

     It tends to be, in many ways, a true industrial E.P. I wanted the drums to sound as manufactured as they possibly could and that's one of the aspects of the overall recording that I'm probably the most satisfied with. The FX^69 Grunge box works well at putting obscene distortion on certain things. The presets on the studio app used to record and master these tracks also put effects into others that blew them right out of the water.
           The Soundcloud Playlist features the original mix of "Fine Lines", which was mixed on one of Dell Almighty's final days.

        The YouTube playlist contains the remastered version, which will be the track used on released copies.

So evidently, someone looped the drum fill for "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins for 30 minutes several years ago now. Not sure what their motivation was, but it has been used in a few projects that are floating around out there now. After a very short time, I realized this would be very effective as the basis of a composition. I figured -it would be complimented well by the "Known bug" setting from Reaktor 5. The rest of it is obviously my double- tracked voice and assorted outbursts from the Synths. The FX69 and presets from the DAW added a heavy amount of distortion.
  I felt like it was a good closing track for the album.
