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 : 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 : 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.
This is great! Good job with fearless music making. It's nice to hear something different. I hear Skinny Puppy here, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, and all that. You have a great style. Keep it up.
nice mate i been playing round similar ideas lately :)
hardware rules
I can relate to the desperation, the frustration, the agonizing in the vocal. Given over 600 plays, someone else must be feeling this as well. congrats on great work Pat.
Damn this track is a journey on its own. From the hasty highway through the industrial part of the town straight to the central station and back again!The constant flow of the modulation gives this track a lot of energy. The vocal breaks are very smart implented to keep teh track interesting all 6 minutes long. Nice work!
Feels like I'm on an Autobhan and someone's superglued the accelerator wide open...or is this an automatic reaction to the inevitable political fallout brewing stateside...whatever it is there's definitely some gear crunching going on, man this is in a totally manic modulation zone, some super fluctuating grooves which get hyper convoluted yet bounce into that sweet spot enough to keep the continuity honest, for a live recording it's awesome Pat, I hope no neighbours were injured during this performance ;).....I think your music is coming from your id as in Forbidden Planet, I see the steps to the music room bending under an invisible force, though there are no bad vibes here...Pat Morbius..has a nice ring to it! haha..you are one off the wall musician man and the world is a better place for it!...cheers Dave :)
This is actually really cool although I never listen to this kind of music (alsmost never). I totally love the fuzzy sound. It's brilliant, and the vocals really spice it up, would have loved them in the middle with some doubler on the sides maybe but totally like the fuzzy sound.
The breakdowns are pure electricity! The rhythm is alert and I like that a lot, it sounds like it's pushing you forward and then dragging you back.
Funny how so much distortion and fuzzyness can work so well together! Actually reminded a bit of The Prodigy...don't ask why. There's a lot of groove in there!
Faved!
Hello Spivkurl,
this sounds really like -back in time-
If i had heard this one in the beginning of the 80's i bet that it would played by many of my friends and me very often and very loud.
This tune has this special feeling of a need for changes on so many levels in the system. The vocals/lyrics is a kind of a war cry against everything and all. That is something i really love.
Very wild, very free and sure very unique.
Good to know that this kind of revolution against -normality- is still alive! The fact that you played it all live brings all a level higher......
Really great stuff. And with the words of -die Antwoord- i have to say:
I fink u freeky but i really like it!
stay tuned
joe
Very chop and screw, I like it! how do you make a song with swing sound good like this?
I like the glitchyness in this one. Dynamics are way better then my track I just uploaded on here... yeesh... I can only imagine how many times you had to practice this to get it perfect. Great work!
Spiv. How are you doing, man?
I like this one. If I had to describe it to someone who has never heard your work, I would tell them to imagine as if Nivek Ogre and Mothersbaugh founded RevCo. Not to minimize your creative talents by comparing, but rather to say your abilities sit in good company.
I like the sense of urgency in this. It's like a manic feasting, or compulsive consumption.
I'm still amazed at your abilities to use full analogue. I might be able to figure out how to produce a sound. (singular), but I'd definitely get lost trying to figure out routing, and patching. Therefore, I have a healthy respect for your work. I tip my hat to you, sir.
Take care.
Aaron.
interesting again. I actually really like the vox, gave me a bit of goosebumps at 2.50
Hey Spivkurl, you are probably one of the most experimental artist on the loop. You've always been the rule breaker in a great way. You actually gave a positive comment on a track of mine a while back which was a very pleasant surprise. Don't change your artistry. Continue to artistically distrupt the norm. I expect nothing less than game changing from you.
Yo SpivKurl !
i hear some interesting things..
Its a cool track and is going faster and faster ..
Well, my feet are on the ground again..
thank you for the yourney..
greetzz .
PS
i made a new track and i used some of your loops.
something totaly diferent.. haha.
Hey Pat , one of the guys here mentioned this reminds him of System of a Down. Never having heard them work i went over to YT and had a listen to "Chop Suey" and i was blown away by that track it has about 46 million hits incredible. In your track i like the angst i like the pain and i like to hear anger i always think nothing good comes to anyone except through PAIN which in turn leads to GROWTH. Excellent stuff best regards Robbie.
Another circuitry masterpiece Spivkurl..always amazed at the sounds you come up with in your tracks...
I applaud your creativity. Not really my style of music but i'm open minded. The drum cadence is almost like a army of soldiers marching in my mind. 3:51 I needed that release because my mind was beginning to spin. But all in all I'm impressed with your arrangement and your thought process. Those synths are cool and the vocals almost remind me of like a scary movie or something. Not really familiar with the genre so I can't compare it to anything. But kudos to your 2 track. Peace & Blessings.
Hey my dear friend
Love the intro to this one, liking the drive to this track mate, contagious groove and vibe about it, definitely has your signature sound flowing from within, great vocals my friend, nicely distorted fitting in great with sound of the mix, nice clarity and arrangement...fav...mosaic...PS hope all is going okies with you my friend, not heard from you for a bit now, you are in my thoughts mate for sure, will try and email over weekend...Respect friend...mos...
vocal clip is classic spivkurl angst and well mixed into the track. i heard from Alex (promenade) recently. He is experimenting a lot with MicroKorg. I thought about your unique sound creations, well evidenced here, when reviewing Alex's samples. All inpsiring me to journey out into less familiar soundscapes. Regards.
hey... long time... after many years i have logged into this site... and the first music i heard was ur music.. and it really imppressed me.. great experiment... i hope u remember me.. we already have a collab long time ago.. checkout my profile.. in that u will find out our collab and u remember at that time.. anyways.. that was amazing track which gave a superrbbb output... keep muzzzikkkinnnngggggg broo... cheerssss
Spiv,
Very intense. You must be smoking some good stuff lol. Kinda like Pink Floyd meets System Of A Down on acid.
Mark.
Well...that was...something ? :D I can't say how i feel about this track at the moment. But i liked parts from 00:00 - 2:05 and from 4:40 till the end.
To hell with US election ! We want Spiv for president !
What you created my friend is more real than Donalds's and
Hillary's bullshit! No joke Pat....I simply adore the madness you served here. In many ways it reflects the realities of today's world. Big 'fav' for this one !
Wee'll make Looperman great again______Orlando
wow it's special! totally xperimental. it's similar when my computer crash lol
i like it ;) really interesting work
Friendly
Bleep
Amazing man. This tracks slays! The synth during the stop at 3:48 is so evil and gritty. The drums are awesome. And the vocal effects kick ass! Great work on this!
