The Portal

Tense clockwork rhythmic piano accompanied by slow growing and increasingly threatening linear strings, guitar, and organic synth textures. All builds to a melodic drop with a final screeching tape failure ending using field recordings taken during a real seance.

Dark swelling textures from the onset lulling into a gentle fall then building again to a large tension-filled rise and drop, driven by rhythmic 'spirit box' static, deep bass, and gritty synth textures. Deep bowed metal textures accompanied by growing high screwdriver guitars lead to an unexpected lighter release, creating an unsettling end

2:31 · 60 BPM

Opening with dark lo-fi subdued piano and high strings, quickly accompanied by subtle low-end, screwdriver guitar and gentle female vocals. By half-way the mood shifts from a dreamy movement to a nightmarish soup of processed brass, booms, high howling screwdriver guitar and sprinkling of insects, building to a distorted synth rise/drop ending.

2:29 · 60 BPM

Very unsettling opening with the sound of gathering flies, buzzing synths and soft growing screwdriver guitars with an air of regality. All quickly shifts with repeated rhythmic bowed metal grunting textures as guitars, strings, synths, and flies rise and fall with increasing tension and majesty.

2:44 · 60 BPM

Brief dark, spinning rising soundscape opening, then continues to grow in intensity and tension with the gradual introduction of unsettling strings, brass, booming taiko drums and rhythmic 'spirit box' static, all reaching a horrific conclusion with a slow screaming build and drop.

3:39 · 75 BPM

Opens with a sudden angry wall of static followed by a spinning deep cello which grows from a murmur to a growl. Sustained worshipping female vocals and brash tongued trumpets lead the way as shrill strings, distorted sweeping synths and weeping screwdriver guitars beckon through waves of rhythmic static and low booms.

2:25 · 60 BPM

Begins with heavily worn vintage vinyl piano playing a melancholy melody, accompanied by a simple high string and gentle brass. The addition of warbling distorted brass and chattering textures quickly shifts the piece to a very unnerving composition. Final notes dissipate as stuttering 'spirit box' static builds and abruptly brings the track to an end.
