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 : 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 : 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 made this track using my own DAW - the software is based on the php programming language and the SoX utility for linux.
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 : Not really 'industrial' although some aspects might fit with the genre...generally robots and stuff...hehe...and a hint of heavy metal is also there...:)
Description : This track I made 2 years ago and I found it now ocasionally, so, yeah, I'm posting it here...
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 : 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 : This track was done with great love in my heart ;)
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 : This is an instrumental track. I made this using a couple of loops and samples I created in the past. The software used was FL Studio 9.
Description : Here's a kind of industrial type thing. Kind of. It's a little more 4 0n the floor compared to most of my stuff. Enjoy.
Twisted and inspiring man. I like the tuning thing. Kind of unique. Great stuff.
TASTY. Prob Toasty, Also, Alas We Won't Kno til We Hear it Here First.
Hey my friend hows it going? Haven't been on the loop in a while so thought I would check in! The synths in this sound wicked! Vocals work well with this too! Has quite a sense of urgency to it that i like a lot. As usual, well done mate I enjoyed it! :)
Hi Spivkurl,
it is just to say again that I enjoyed your last album but cannot find your profile via forum threads searching page :(
anyway again great work and I would say that it could be
a doorway to something new for me. I will let you know.
All the best to you:)

Hi Spiv,
Another good one! You know I like when you sing :-)
A lot of good words have already been spent on this one, so I won't say much.
I completely second the comment of MrValveDriver.
If we're looking for "comparisons", definitely the TalkingHeads brought up by MrPJB are one possibility but I won't forget about Devo as well.
That said... I will now download and re-listen to this many times ^_^
Ciao, Domenico
This is definitely one grimy track.It kinda shocks you the first time you play it,but i guess you weren't thinking pretty when you made it.Shock and All Must have been your focus..I think the track showcases how much talent you got.You one of the few that can easily switch from one genre to the other.Real musician.Good work.
Man seriously I do not listen to a lot of industrial electronic music but i love the unconventional style of it. I like grim and grit in this track and was it was like take it or leave it. I just wish the voice was little more clear. But I guess the acid voice adds to the track's griminess. Nice track.
I like the gritty electric sound... reminds me of the old Daft Punk sound or On Sight by Kanye West. This is a sound I thought about using for this upcoming mixtape I'm producing. And the second part of this track is pretty dope. Keep it up!
Sorry for taking so long to get to this one. Damn man, this is so freekin cool! I've never heard of Skinny Puppy but after hearing this I might go check them out. The vocals/lyrics are so well done, interesting and fun. You just keep getting better and better with your vocals and your creativity level is soaring!! Great job working to get it all right, nice work to both of you on this one.
Always never knowing what to expect and that's why I enjoy your tracks so much!
Cheers!
Hey friend
Mate what a track, love the bass lines in this piece, with the beat they have a infectious draw to them, working with the synths and vocals, makes this one brilliant listen, so good to see you keep branching out with what you are doing with your vocals friend, I think this is the best vocal heard from you mate, maybe stands out more with the way you have used your vocals in this track, brilliant work matey...Fav'd...Peace Mosaic...
This is cool, the sounds and the way they work together is brilliant.The vocals sounds great.You got a great mix on this track.Great performance.
Sounds amazing as always, but can't say that I'm surprised as thats how it always sounds! another really cool track Pat, Keep it up!
Hey Pat you always like to surprise. Love the lyrics and the guitar in the breakdown is top class. A hard hitting, in your face track with depth and meaning.
Simon
Another awesome track Spivkurl! FarM did a really nice job on the drums and bass. Love the guitars on the track too. The vocals were great and flowed with the beat perfectly. The mix sounds really good on this end. This ones a Fav. Nice as usual.
One of the things I've always admired about your work is how you exceed at creating the music to have a parallel voice to the lyrical content. To me, it's more like the music is actually speaking, and your vocals are only there to translate the message into words for the rest of us to understand.
I see people frequently comment on the quality of your vocals, or the quality of the music. I don't think enough people give you credit for your lyrical content. It always seems very deeply personal and hidden behind a cryptic message. There is never anything cliche about it. Very poetic. Generally, it's brilliantly written, even in all of it's own darkness. Which I assume, is why the music and the lyrics are so tightly knit, and why you have such a unique style here. Granted, it's influenced by some of the greats, (show me one person who's ever created anything that wasn't influenced by someone before them...), but it's not a ripoff. What you do is all you, man. That's why it works.
Take care.
V.
man you never spot suprizin me!
This has so many vibs running through it,from oldschool electronic 80's music to modern industrial.!
What ever you did..it rock me rocking in a hedonistic kind of way lol
Real nice electronic forplay all covered in baby oil and metal spikes.!
Yep... count me in lol
Wow man...I know I'm always going to hear something totally unique when I come visiting your page, vocals are brilliant..you putting some serious attitude down on this one, reminded me of some early Mark Stewart, quality collab man...another I gotta download, thanks for sharing!..cool link in the description field also ;)
Without a doubt your best vocal work I have heard so far. Fav'd and downloaded. Well done Pat.
Steve
Well this is put together, way outside the box but the value of the lyric
is right on the mark, hit the nail on the head sorta speak...
Great production and mix solid piece of work...
Peace..TG.
This is deff interesting
Cool Track Mate ,
interesting collection of sounds and Vocals very nice put together, by listen to the first Minutes and i must thought about a commercial Technotrack..., i do not get the name, doesnt matter anyway,enjoyed the listen,good work as usual.
DRO
No harm no foul. ;-) I respect your position. Would it help if I was doing a story on Electric vehicles? http://instagr.in/t/instaiconvolt
Don't get too hung up on the TISM comment. It's only from one of their songs and you could lose some sanity listening to too much TISM. They stopped in the 90s for a reason. I think the irony ran out! :-D
I come here hoping to find music that I can use on my amateur car vids (this being my most recent http://youtu.be/p6Yw37k7qAY with Ubernova by Paylee). Usually I have much of the vid sorted then seek the music but this makes me want to make a vid for the music.
It's not a cheeseburger. This track requires some care and attention to appreciate and get the best out of it; almost needing to be decoded. Still, that's where some of the best art lies.
P.S. I can understand the David Byrne comparison too, with a slight TISM slant as well.
If I can work out a video is it ok to use this track?
This is wicked mate. About a minute in and i found myself turning the volume up. There's some ace dubsteppy kind of basslines going on and the vocals really hit the spot in this one. I got to start throwing some vocals on my tracks.
It's well written, well produced and a bit of a banger.
Cracking stuff as always.
FR
Really great song.... possibly one of the best songs I've listened from you, Spiv... you earn a fave from me!
Keep up the very good work!
-RealProblemShuckers
C00l! This more industrial.
Hey Pat..interesting tune mate,especially the vocals,I put you on a par with David Byrne of Talking Heads (dead serious about this,it's not so much the accent it's your timbre and excellent continuity)...(hope we can get together for a collab some time mate)..the beat isn't exactly my cup of tea but it's definitely going to click with the electro set....subconsciously "borrowing"elements isn't stealing mate..it's paying respect....excellent work! cheers Dave
SuuuWEEEET!!
So glad I finally figured out how to see the lyrics while listening (Im kinda slow lol). Heavy lyrics. Some great melodies happening here too. Love how the sweet intro drops right into the verse and the track takes an immediate different turn. Like how you used the dubstep sparingly, just a taste here and there.
No secret, I'm a Spiv fan. Gonna listen to other tracks on the loop but it'll be hard to top this. I faved 4 sho :)
