Constipated Turtles On Heroin.

Sign in to disble this ad
Burnt Infant (my microtonal ambient alter-ego) has just released another early experiment with the Super Microtonal Death Metal Hello Kitty guitar:

Constipated Turtles On Heroin

Even though this only consists of three tracks of guitar, this took me forever to write and record. This microtonal stuff is hard!

More Burnt Infant stuff:

The new song is 4 minutes, 20 seconds - but not on purpose. However, feel free to get stoned and tell me what you think.

I really like it! (though not stoned) Kind of reminds me of Porcupine Tree in their earlier days, who IMO, are one of the best bands in recent times.

Very minimal, actually. The stuff that sounds like a guitar is pretty simple: chorus, reverb, delay. They synthy sounding guitar isn't much more complex: slo-gear, chorus, reverb, delay, octave-down pitch shifter. That's it.

Thanks for your kind words.

Currently I'm working on pre-production for an acoustic album(!) under the Benjamin Strange moniker. I've remixed a few of my older songs that I did on my laptop, now that I've got a much better system. If all goes well, I'll be releasing a Burnt Infant album and an acoustic Benjamin Strange album concurrently. How long that's going to take me is anybody's guess.

I'm not shitting you, this is by far some of the best ambient music I have ever heard. This has the mood of the worst nightmare you could ever have, a dark forest shrouded in fog.

The thing is, it's not only dark/scary, but it's gorgeous. That guitar solo over the microtonal background, I'm getting a little misty eyed.

You really are one of the most gifted musician/producers I've ever met.

I got a little gushy there ben, what I'm trying to say is, will you bear my children?

Why is this song so damn short!? Seriously, I had to start the song over again as soon as it ended. It should be at least 18 minutes longer.

Really nice! Reminds me of Eno, Gilmore and Iforget the composer's name I think the piece was called Microcosmos? Featured mostly piano with some whistling. Was it Crumb?

+100. Trippy, scary, beautiful stuff here, Mr. Strange.

Oh, and I'm sober as a judge.
