Broken

Published on Jul 29, 2018 Audio Illustrator

"Audio Illustrator James Newman and the James Newman Groove orchestra are pleased to present 'Broken'.

This is a musical portrait of the concept that nothing really works right. and ultimately everything is broken. Everything around us is in a state of decay and on a course of destruction and ruin. The day that we are born is the day that we begin to age and eventually decay, decline, and die.

All that we grasp and hold on to also slips away in decay. Yes, we and everything around us are indeed broken and we all desire a solution to fix the problem.

Romans 8:20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

PS...
One year ago today I was broken, and was in the hospital having quadruple heart bypass surgery to be fixed. Today I celebrate my anniversary with a new song about being broken.

I thank God for all that He has done in my and my family's life and I hope that my music brings you reflective joy.

Thanks and all my best,

On the gear: "This is another Pink Floyd-ish type piece using my Behringer model D for all of the synth parts except for the Moog DFAM for the synth drum loop and Sonic Projects "OBX" software clone for an OB styled big gliss at the climax of this piece. I'm also using Native Instruments B4 for the Hammond lines."

Note the listing states, "Aphex Twin made a whole record with this monster (not this exact unit, of course), which has the much-prized Curtis analog oscillator voice and filter chips."

I believe that was the MS800. It was actually listed for sale in August of 2016.

NYX & EREBUS w/ patchblocks - An Ambient Dreadbox Journey

Published on Jul 29, 2018 dænkrø_ ElectriXity_

"One more Dreadbox duet! It turned out pretty long, so I added footage from the making of my DIY Dreadbox wood enclosure starting at 2:35.
Besides I was testing three different cameras in a low light situation. Admittedly not exactly the most interesting thing to watch, so just listen. Hope you like it anyway.
With all that footage I didn't manage to synchronise audio and video. Sorry if you were expecting that.
Enjoy!"
