Description : The results of one of my most intense recording sessions to date. I don't think I've explored a single key this deeply ever before. (G minor for those of you wondering) I pulled out my old Epiphone Les Paul, which I've rebuilt and customized over the years. Typed the original lyrics for the song on a couple text message drafts in my phone, then expanded upon them. Has some dubstep elements which are obvious, but it's at a higher tempo. So I guess there's some gothic and industrial in there too. Thanks for taking a listen! You can get the new Spivkurl album "Charting The Anomaly," which includes this track at the We Are...

Description : A song that I made with Dinn and my production team.
Description : Today's six track recording of a live song which I've been practicing for several days. I broke many of my own rules when getting this to the product it is now. Times have been rough around here, with pressure building from all sides. You can feel it in the air, and in all the people. I can only hope that after the US election, some of the pressure releases. All tracks recorded simultaneously - Vocals via my 100 Proof Microphone, Monotribe, Beatstep, two modular synth tracks (one beatstep controlled and one by my four step sequencer), Zoom RT-123, 2xKawa circuit bent drum box, Boss RV-3 reverb/delay.
Description : This if the final mix for all the instrumentation. And yes we're breaking quite a few conventions here. I like my diminished scales.
Notes:
Tempo:85
Meter:12/2 (mostly)
key:A locrian (mostly)
took a whole year and around 200 audio tracks to nail this

Description : Hello all, finally got around to polishing this track, which came from a collab with FarM (known on here as honkytonk). He provided me with some drum and bass work, and I came back with a demo that was essentially what you are hearing now. I just fixed the tuning and some pops at transitions. The tuning basically thwarted our collab I think, because without really remembering I played the guitar parts tuned to 432 Hz *** http://csglobe.com/music-conspiracy-to-detune-us-from-natural-432-hz-harmonics/ ***
and left all the other instruments at 440 Hz as a result...heh. Sounded much better after fixing that. Anyway it's got some dubstep and industrial most obviously. Yet another song I unconsciously ripped off from Skinny Puppy. Thanks for taking a listen! You can get the new Spivkurl album "Charting The Anomaly," which includes this track at the We Are...

Description : My grandmother was from Belarus. She was the lone survivor of her family after the Waffen SS massacred everyone in her village during a retreat from the Red Army. She escaped soviet occupied Belarus & through a series of wranglings by the international red cross, found a family to adopt her in New Jersey in 1947. She was 14 years old then. She was the strongest person I ever knew & I miss her terribly. This song is for her.
Description : I recorded this song several weeks ago, live in studio. It was a very spontaneous reaction to some experiences and interactions only an hour or so before.
I recorded the audio tracks, as well as a video on my old digital camera. The video has been up on youtube for a while:
This was recorded with my 100 Proof microphone, Eat Lead Copper modular synth, Breaking Blue tabletop synth, modified Yamaha DD-20, and Zoom RT-123.
In the last couple of days, I finally got around to mixing the audio I had recorded into a better quality rendition. The stems were used as is, simple being mixed a bit and mastered.
Have fun listening!
Description : Here is a new Spivkurl track for all of you to check out! My thought process interprets this as industrial gothic, but it's open to external interpretation. This song's sounds were almost entirely sampled from equipment which I hand soldered, whether it be synthesizer builds or circuit bending. The lead vocals were recorded with the new microphone which I built in the past few days, and I'm happy with the way it interacts with my voice. In fact the only piece of gear used that I didn't build was the microphone for the hook vocals... and they are meant to be unintelligible, as they were recorded spontaneously with a patch I called a Spivocoder (on my modular synth). Uptempo and aggressive, it's definitely my sort of industrial. Please give me your opinions if you have the time! Thanks!
Description : Updated 6 May 2017 - I took a bit of advice from OViea91 in order to enhance the reverb field of the vocals, and I also worked to tame some harsh high end in order to allow the low frequencies and dynamics to shine through more. I think it is an improvement. Downloads allowed now! 21 April 2017 - Here is my latest song, which begin from two directions at once. The lyrics began as a sort sentence written on a calendar photograph, and the music began as my entry to the FL studio "Sytrus Only" competition. I finished the vocals completely freestyle, using my DIY 100 proof microphone. All of the sound design is still the original entry, and thus uses only the Sytrus plugin on FL studio. The arrangement barely changed from the original instrumental (to accommodate the vocals), but the mixing and mastering was updated slightly (since the competition did not allow any effects at all). Being observant can be a real bitch sometimes when you're out there in the world, though sometimes an idea like this can be the flip side of the coin. The song also started me thinking about the literal difference between "Earth" and "World." One seems specific, and one general... though I think that the generalisation can add to the longevity of the relevance of an idea such as this. Thank you for listening!
Description : This is one sexy track. Bordering NeuroFunk.. I made this heavily sleep deprived and exhausted within a few hours.. Getting to grips with mixing again, how is it on your end? I'm also feeling some tom toms in the intro.. Maybe.. Best enjoyed with headphones :)
Description : Drawing on my favourite bands this demo fuses pulsing electronic beats with raw electric guitar, horror movie sound clips and a bit of my singing!
My next track will feature loops from Looperman so please follow me to hear it first!
Description : Distorted, heavy on the vocals, lots of swearing. The words are based on a satirical poem I wrote a few years back. It's restructured to fit into the song & be more sinister in feel. I used Vocal finalizer, Scheps 73 compressor, Electric Sunburst, Massive & both synthmaster 1 & SM/KV331. Did my best to D-s the vocal. A new mic is definitely on my short list.
Description : Here's a song that I wrote with my friend. I tried to make a gritty and weird song that also included using my voice as a soundscape. Some sounds are simply me blowing into the mic.I put an insane amount of delay on the vocals and pitch shifted them down 2 semitones as well as adding distortion. Enjoy!
Music:Rick Joanisse/Ty Dumoulin
Description : A sort of Bonobo-meets-Faithless track with woodwind from MrMosely. I don't really know the genre; but sounds like a mix of industrial and chill out. A simple song (Simpleton!!!) but hopefully it works for you guys... consider it a new years song/birthday song (ya, im 12 now!!)
Description : The title felt a little weak, hence the change.
It's finished! The mix is far, far better, I've added some extras and brought out some sounds that weren't coming through previously. D'ya think it's gig ready?
Description : I used Serum and Sylenth1 to create all the synths and basslines. I used random percussion samples for the drums. It's not dubstep, and it's not Drum and Bass, but it's elements are heavily drawn from both to create an experimental industrial track in it's own class. It's heavy, aggressive, and driving. Some will like it, others won't. As always, mixing tips, suggestions and advice is welcome. Take care. V.
Cool track some tasty things going on...
Got to stop smelling that stuff...
Peace...TG.
Well I must the last one to find out these vocals are you. It works alot better in this track, I was hearing different types of vocals in my head on your liberate track. Druggy and trippy production bro. Skilled one. peace

Hey Mate
Sorry haven't gotten to one earlier, to be honest thought had reviewed it, but checked back on it and no hadn't, excellent work as mentioned in reviews before myself, agree with Wayne your vocals are getting better with each piece, excellent arrangement matey, production in all top notch as always my friend...Very enjoyable listen my friend...Fav'd...Peace n much Respect mate...Mosaic...PS have my remix up of Nightr8...Turned out okies I think anyways...
Another classic Spiv!! You know how to do it. Definitely reminisce of devo or talking heads that meet electro punk...pistols ...I can hear it yep. Love AnomolyJ's comment. Another 4:21 that was well worth it. Thanks
Cheers
Will
I don't know I see like the funky psychedelic squirrel having a rave party in a big oak tree complete with a disco ball and glow sticks. And all the little creature in the forest are like let's rock out, and then DJ Jay bird rocks the turn table and the squirrel grabs the mic... But in reality it's just one squirrel passed out by a tree after eating the wrong mushrooms. J/K...I don't know I'm in a silly mode today and your track make me even sillier. Good job.
Spivkurl, your songs are always excellent, and so was this song. The song was a bit 'overclashed' with elements that didn't need to be there, but overall I quite liked it. Going in my fave's!
-Shivam (a.k.a RealProblemShuckers)
This is amazing thx am using for an intro on youtube, if Ur okay with that :)
Haha... I love the whiny feel on this track...
Great vox and great music... love the bass...
faved it Spivkurl...
You're one of the most original composers on the Loop...
TCAS
oh dang this is awesome
I think I root about 90% of what I do in minor keys Spiv...for some reason they just seem to hold more character or something...great job on the vocal in this one...it caught me as a little Bowie like when you first kicked it in...when you get this many musical elements & movements into the mix it sure takes the industrial genre to a place that appeals to the ear a lot more quickly than the mixes that focus a lot of the noise/machine parts (I know I`m not expressing this well)...but suffice to say..its makes for good listening for guys like me who are not too up on things...another great track...one of you best I think......Ed
Spiv. How's it goin', Mister?
I'm always impressed by your work. This is no exception to that. With all of your work, it's clear that you're passionate about it. But this one has just a little more than usual. It seems to be more....seamless(?). Even the mixing seems to be more clean, which seems like an inappropriate word given the amount of distortion. But even in that, it's balanced out and varied to the point where it doesn't begin to fatigue. Honestly, I have nothing but good things to say about this track.
The only thing I have that would be considered a complaint, is that guitar. There needs to be more of it. When it kicked in at 4:10, my brain wanted it to be the beginning of a solo that trudges it's way through.
Either way, I personally feel this is one of your personal best. I'm going to go hat trick on this one with comment, fav, and download.
Take care, man.
Aaron.
yo spivkurl
just checking here but
what a track you made !
it's going very deep.
i like the synths and the acidlike baseline .
your vocals fits right in .
great track !
greetz
Hey, interesting sounds, and love the vocals. Not my normal genre, but hey, you don't know until you listen to it. Its great!!! :) good job.
Peace...
Digital-J
attractive industrial track . a good one..
Another great tune from you! I never really listened to Industrial music but thanks to you, I think I will be checking out this genre a little more now. This has an amazing dance flow to it and your vocals are great! How long have you been singing, if you don't mind me asking? You should sing more often. Your voice has a rock feel to it, reminds me of songs by "Nine Inch Nails". The vocals like most of your music had me laughing, comedian eh?
Great work as usual, keep them coming!
This was one of the tracks I heard a couple of days ago on soundcloud from you, I enjoyed it back then and now still
Funny though since I was listening it and just laying back then was like who is the one who produced this and saw your name haha. The mixture of sounds you use are mostly highly unusual and so in here, it is one of the things that separates you from the other artists but I mentioned that before
Thanks for making this and I hope to see more like this tune
Sorry I missed this one when it came out, must have been all those porters and whiskeys!
Keep up the singing, you keep getting more innovative and unique. The lyrics are well written and very cool and fun to read.
The music is well produced and with the vocals make a rather upbeat, quirky, fun, interesting, awesome.... Whatever you are doing, keep doing it. Great track and I will be dl'ing this one so thanks so much for sharing!
Wayne
Pat as I was writing few minutes ago nin email for U , I know nothing about such genres , but now your description makes me underestand like this = tempo & having gothic elements is a difference of dub & industrial genres , right ? ?...
..well so as U know I don't know anything about such new genres (according to be grown & died instead of living in islamic f..ing vaccuumed ). but rearding what i'm hearing a notable point is your cool singing style which sounds more beautifull in this one ...your interesting thinking about lyrix & anpother notable point is what I had told U last year too = U're soOoO tallented to be a composer for animation my friend ... in the end as usual best wishes here too .___B
Very enjoyable to listen, lots of interesting ideas and well produced...great job!
Compliments____orlando
youre like a smart cure
i love your trading betwixt
i love the mixing too
it never fails to engage me at all levels
reminds me of demons souls
i havent eaten for 36 days i still get bigger, i know the process
great
Another awesome track Spivkurl! I really like the groove on this one. Very catching! And great job with the vocals too. The mix sounds good on this end. Another enjoyable listen. Nice work.
Hi Spiv,
Good to see a new one from you.
I will start telling you what I don't like: nothing!
I loved this! You create crazy sounds with that guitar... I want to hear more often. Your singing is very eighty, a bit of Bowie can be heard and some of Curtis as well (the way you use a nasal tone on the deep notes and the way you stretch the vowels).
Liked it!
Ciao, Domenico
PS: this song has way too many chord changes, the sex pistols would have never been able to play it... what? only one chord you say? but that's already too much for them :-)
[just to make it clear... I LOVE THE PISTOLS!]
Ahhh yes....I like this. Good stuff for sure. Dig the vocals as well as the music. Nice job Bro.
tv
Are these your vocals? OH MY GOSH LOVE!!!! Brings me back to the 80s and yet it's got that current indie vibe too!! Music is awesomeness!!
Man I'm lovin that synth growl in this piece. Nice production Spiv!
good electronic work, unusual.
these parts call much attention to the difference of other genres.
good adaptation of vocal.
crazy ideias my friend.
have a nice day.
This is great and now it's stuck in my head
I like G minor. It's a good key to work in.
Nice to see the return of your vocals as well. Love that synth that comes in at the chorus, thats very grouchy. In fact all of the noises/sounds you come up with are pretty mental (in a good way)
What i like about this is it follows a very unusual pattern. It's a bit like what might happen if the sex pistols teamed up with the aphex twin.
It's a fun track.
