Unimagined Ramblings

The various stains that drip from the head of Chris Parsons

| TPWF Live Stream #1 - Black Air, Isthmus & More… |
-
Having received my mixing desk that morning I embarked on a task to perform a live stream of the new song ‘Black Air’. After 30 minutes of wire fiddling I eventually got the stream up and running and maybe got a bit carried away with the number of songs:

- Black Air [New]
- Isthmus [New]
- Hessian [Will o’ The Wisp]
- Safe for the Moment [The Diaries of False Omega]

Note: The mixing wasn’t too well done, so I re-overdubbed the backing track for Black Air in such a way that you can actually hear it. Other than that, it’s all as performed.

| TWPF - ‘The All-Seeing Eye’ (Livestream Test) |
-
Alone in the house on a Saturday morning, I decided to make a Livestream page. I streamed myself playing ‘The All-Seeing Eye’ live (in all its unrehearsed glory) to test it out. Feel free to have a gander and mock at my unprofessionalism.

That’ll screw up your media player’s numbering system, now won’t it?…

The forthcoming albums will be a little later than anticipated, so I might as well start releasing the songs I already have done. I don’t care about official release dates and the sort, and neither should you. So here you go, here’s a new song just for you (geddit?)…

I’m currently working on a little game idea and decided this morning to work on some of the ambient music in the game. This is what came out, and I’m rather pleased with it.

I’m basically posting this here because I enjoy making small instrumental pieces and I wondered if you guys would be interested in me making and posting more. I can write them far quicker than songs, so I’m perfectly happy to make more.

Anyway, do tell me what you think, and I hope you enjoy it.
Be Seeing You! 

| Hessian (Demo) |

Today was my last day of Uni before the holidays. So it’s time to grow that beard, record that album, draw those comics and generally be over-ambitious. For now though, to celebrate, here’s the second demo from the new album, Hessian.

Enjoy! 

| TPWF IV - Art & Inspiration | -

Here’s some more artwork for the album(s) I’m working on, but there’s something else too that I shall ramble on for a bit now.
I have just had something of an epiphany inasmuch as I’ve been spending so long writing songs for this/these new album(s) that I’ve actually not listened to other people’s music in quite some time. 

This is unhealthy.
There’s a strange sort of inclusiveness that surrounds me when I get into writing music, so before I start arranging the songs into some sort of meaningful instrumentation to get ready to record I shall listen to a bunch of albums and pick things I like and - more importantly - have not tried myself and try and think a bit more outside my own corregated cardboard cuboid… It’s alliteration people!
So why do you need to know this? Well, you don’t. But I have chosen a short but eclectic list of albums I shall draw inspiration from in the coming days so it may give you something of an idea of what the album(s) will sound like. Maybe. Anywho, here’s what I plan on listening to:

‘Warchild’, Jethro Tull;
‘Dr. Steel II: Eclectic Boogaloo’, Dr. Steel;
‘Victory For The Comic Muse’, The Divine Comedy;
‘The Afterman: Ascension’, Coheed and Cambria;
‘The Rise & Fall’, Madness;
‘Witchazel’, Matt Berry.

I think that about covers it. Any suggestions for the interestingly weird and wonderful music is greatly appreciated, but for now I’m gonna get listening.

P.S - You can keep an eye on the progress of the album/albi in the link at the top of the page, or here.
