Haunt Me, Haunt Me Do It Again

A landmark of digital decay. Beautifully cold piano melodies and guitar chords buried beneath layers of glitchy, subzero electronic static.

Debut

Frost-bitten piano chords and fractured guitar loops drift through a dense fog of digital static, sounding less like composed music and more like a radio signal freezing in mid-air. This debut captures a quiet collision between classical warmth and cold, glitchy decay. As you listen, the melodies do not build so much as dissolve, leaving you in a beautiful, subzero space where organic instruments are slowly reclaimed by the machinery of the laptop.

Moments Worth Waiting For

01Music for Tundra, Part 1The track introduces itself with a stark, rhythmic pulse of digital interference that mimics a failing hard drive before a faint melody emerges.

09Ghost Writing, Part 1The composition incorporates a heavily processed, eerie audio sample taken from the American television game show Who Wants to be a Millionaire?.

06The Work of Art in the Age of Cultural OverproductionThe track title directly references cultural theorist Walter Benjamin's famous 1935 essay on mechanical reproduction.
