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!

The future is interface
chemical smell interlaced
Keep on keepin on this shit
subtle lies are in your face
Living now is just a vibe
your lack of time has contrived
Blow your mind and blow a kiss
Holy dollar mother of law
Full of grace
Full of waste
Drug testing is my sixth sense
cuz you're bouncing like bad checks
Did you hear what you just missed?
I'll give you another taste

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 : 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!

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 : 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 : For those of you who haven't grabbed my new album "Labrynth Of Self" I'm putting up another one from it. This is the only thing on the album that I'd really call industrial, and it comes closest to my goal of creating something that Ohgr might do on one of his albums. It contains some very weird sounds that I don't specifically remember creating. Don't be shy with your critique, it's not the sort of music everyone likes. Thanks for listening friends!
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 : 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 : Just some fiddling on garageband with some free loops I found on Musicradar and a drum loop courtesy of Sinthetic Records, thank you sir.
Description : Pure experimental insanity, not for those with a weak heart. Best enjoyed with headphones or a big system. A mix of Indutrial/D&B/Dubstep I had to downgrade the audio quality to upload here, check the soundcloud for the full beauty. Some context for those ignorant of Lovecraft. Picture flickering in and out of dimensions, worlds and sanity all the while trying to describe the experience.
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 : 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 industrial track that I made in March. I came up with this concept listening to the soundtrack from the movie "Drive" that came out a couple of years ago. I just thought it might be something that could of been used in that movie. It's just an instrumental. Hope you guys enjoy it!
Description : My collaboration with the masterful member Benham Zandi DeciBel.
https://www.looperman.com/users/tracks/741971 I was in a dark place when I did these vocals, but I still don't know why I didn't release this sooner. In a very industrial mood lately, but still getting an outlet in other genres by making loops. Please give me an honest opinion of this song, You'll be glad to hear my soul is no longer "hidden locked tight".

this was such a fascinating listen. Somehow, it reminded me of the novel, 1984! Instant like :)
haha just listening again to the first 14 seconds of this one (it's all solution, it's all halucination?) there's a kind of a hihat sound but with added harmonics at parts (very high, barely listenable short notes). it's really hard to come across the sound like this in the nature. so it helps me understand now what 'industrial' label means.
then I can hear processed rhythmic drum noise. filtered and looped. that's all very creative but still I can't find any reference point to say something interesting. that's 'just sounds' for me. some of them seem still operate as the 'basslines' or as 'hihats', anything goes. overall it doesn't challenge my 'musical taste' at all, do not worry. 'that's what experience is'!
Thanks a lot for the reply and sorry for cryptic type of commenting btw. 'Zank' is a refference to ZankFrappa and I actually meant the dark side of one's looperman personality (Zank is not me btw). Basically I come from very 'acoustic' type of music - that may be a reason why I see all so called 'edm' or 'electronic' sequenced music in general as something different. I remember my start of 'laptop music making' journey about 2012: a friend of mine sent me his vocals and guitars recorded using shitty dictaphone and my mixing/mastering skills were very poor at a time. I was using free version of daw called Mulab with only 4 tracks per song and many other limitations for quite a long time. At some point there must be some a kind of that limited field/grid workspace anyway...
You're right, there's some difference between strictly real-time improvised/performed instrumental music and 'programmed' but you can also think about the PC and daw as an another, more advanced musical instrument/sequencer. I saw some older live performances by JMJarre the other day and that 'live' human factor is definitely lost there haha.
Listening again I find your song very 'decadent' and experimental eventhough you respect the rules of the 'traditional' 4 bar song structure etc.. You start from very first level of creating the 'very sound' which I find really inspiring but also it makes your music sound maybe too 'original' and hermetic. That's very fine - I listen to it as a pure creation not through the filter of 'musical styles' anyway!
Firstly I must give you props for putting the instruments together then applying them to your musical creations. That in itself is very cool. Plus you always give us something to challenge our musical tastes and likes by literally pushing the right buttons and taking us on a very cool musical journey.
Although electronic music isn't my favorite, I was compelled to give this a few listens and let it all soak in. I must say I was totally entertained. I don't think I could listen to an entire album of this but it sure makes the day a whole lot more interesting. Thanks for stepping outside the box, as usual!

Hi Spiv,
So good to hear something "made from you" ... and this time in all senses!
It is funny how "pop" is this song: I think this is one of your "easiest" tracks, it is really musical and "pleasant" while reading your description (and knowing you) I was expecting something more "extreme".
Of course, the sounds you used can be defined "harsh" but once put in your mix they get very enjoyable.
Liked it.
Liked it a lot.
Ciao, Domenico
Rock in your face. Yea! I feel like smashing stuff. uhhhh Rock yea.
This should sound like noise; but oddly it works!
Thats what you do quite well- take a genre and put your own style on to it.
Well done!
it is all illusion... when we uncover this fact is when the fun begins...
very dance-able... yes I did dance to it!
need the lyrics desperately!
it triggered my mania later & I had to take a chill pill & a few tokes
thanks for this fun music
This is way more top heavy then my hihat...LOL
You just pulling my leg or something, with any volume
this will send you to the Ear Doctor...Just joking...haha...
Truly with all the distorted harmonics, it's really not
something I would play in my car or at home...It's just
not where my head is, or has it ever been with this style...
Honestly...But you've put it together in a cool way, it's not
easy to organize such confusion into something Musical...
It's your thing man, do it like you like it...
Peace...TG.
I disagree on joecramer. This sounds like "Der Plan"! Shame on you, joe!
Wassup Spiv, good to hear another creative and original track bro! For some odd reason I thought I heard it before but I could be wrong. Your music is always an enjoyable experience, and everything you bring to the table is fresh to my ears.I have to hit up your blog sometime, just haven't had much time on the internet lately because of work and family commitment. THanks for sharing Spiv, fav'd.
Pete
Loved this spivkurl,
LivingInSilence would love this too I'm sure because he loves making his own instruments and you do a fantastic job of that here. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the good work!
Rico L.
yes, I noticed that the waveform of your track is so similar to the actual StaticNomad's chillout stuff. I just read very closely your comments on his track and tried to figured out the very essence... I know it's very crazy. haha. It is far too much to take at once. I can't give you any constructive advices because somehow I find your very sound as an 'ultimate' sound - considering that all this sounds were generated using your own synths. Constructing a perfect instrument is also an ultimate goal when seeking for a perfect performance for sure!
I do not feel any connection to the lyrics of your song though.
Ultimately it is a very basic acoustic/electronic battle.
Or maybe it's only a 'Zank in me'.
This is really interesting! Very good job.
I it is amazing how your waveform is similar to static's.
sryy for spamming anyway
I fav'd
Hi Spivkurl
For some reason this reminds me on one of the (for me) best albums that ever was made!
Yes thats right. It is not music for all times. Sure not. To agressiv and strange but if you are in the right mood - then it comes to the compleete right thing. Very cool work. I realy enjoyed the listen. I am realy in love with this kind of strange things.
Btw the album is - DAF Die Kleinen und die Bösen
If you never heard this album, go to

stay tuned
joe
I don't know why but this is very entertaining to my ears! Good stuff, thanks man. :P
