Thank you.

Ha! I guess it has been a bit of a Valvdriver Smorgasbord these last couple of weeks.

Yes. Typically, my work is darker and more mood based, but lately, since I've had the time to just sit down and let it all flow, I've just been letting it write itself. No matter how far outside the realms of the "vast and barren wasteland of post apocalyptic industrialism" it gets. Basically, I have time to enjoy it, so that's what I'm doing! I'm sure I'll eventually get back to the grinding doom based nightmare soundtracks, but for now...I'm a roll widdit!

You mentioned this one being more minimalist than usual. That is true. I did purposely go with a more minimal approach. Generally, I really like making the complex, uber-layered tracks with a lot of shit happening, (Just like my art. Of which, I still need to get a way for you to see those too.), but I wanted to try seeing if I could make a filled out track with less elements. In this one, I used a total of 11 instruments. That includes each piece of the drums. Normally, I have almost that many in synths alone. (I really like to layer)
I did go a little out of the box with the synth patches this time. I was trying to achieve a more detuned, uneasy, unsure feeling without actually being out of tune. However,I'm curious to know what the differences were that you heard in the synths.

Eric, as always my friend, it's a pleasure to hear from you. I will get a hold of you later about the art stuff.

Take care, mister.

"Modern German Goth."

There's a genre/subgenre for everything now, isn't there?

I can see some similarities between this track and the AND ONE. I can't really say that I was influenced by this genre, though. I listened to this kind of music back in the late 90s/early 00s, but not much since.

"Your work seems very focused now."

I have been given the opportunity to have some free time with no job, no kids, and no responsibilities for about the last month. I've had PLENTY of time to focus on it. Not being caught up in the daily hustle and bustle has done wonders for my creativity.

Thanks for stoppin' by, mister!

Take care.

Thanks, man!

Honestly, I wasn't a fan of Jack as Joker. For my money, the only person that ever truly captured the full sociopath, chaos driven, psychotic essence of the Joker was Mark Hamill in the animated series that came out in he 90s. But, that's my opinion. ;)

Thanks for listening, and taking time to comment.

Take care.

Thank you, sir! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's good to hear from you. I always look forward to hearing what you have to say.

"Dangerous synth work"

I like that. I think from now on, I may have to use it in my profiles and general descriptions of my music.

Danke, you take care, mister.

with all sincerity.
