A solo experimental project, of usually improvised music of different forms. I attempt to pull together elements in sound and music that interest me and excite my head to create work that is an original synthesis, and to try and capture the raw creative moment as well as I can. (more info)

This project has now been wound up and replaced with The Unknown Rockstar for the instrumental music, and Tangent has been revived for electronic music..

The mp3s are hosted in the postmoderncore collection at archive.org. Any CD-Rs you order come in a jewel case with high quality versions of the cover art on the website. Get in contact to discuss purchasing CDs, or to discuss licensing the music outside of the terms of the Creative Commons license.

Dark adult pleasures, snake music, magic - 7:44
A piece of beats based music, that uses filter work, delay twiddling, and distortion to bring together a song that will romp all over your speakers.

I shall serenade her - 0:48
A piece of improvised free accoustic guitar work that draws on influences of both contempory classical and free jazz, as well as the romanticism of folk and gypsy music.

The small continuum - 12:20
The vocals of this piece draw upon the disechantedness of John Lydon and the disgustedness of Genisys P-Orridge to compliment the disturbing, shimmering, echoing guitar tracks in a piece that explores depths of pain and cynicism that Throbbing Gristle first plumbed.

Celebration in the salt mines - 1:13
A folky, rustic sounding piece of woodwind improvisation that is in the tonality of a previous century.

Total self control? - 20:13
An enormous, creeping melange of scary beats, quivering tones, tingly glass tones, and other sounds that propels and mutates to a atmospheric finish.

A severe lack of direction - 3:34
A synth drum loop drives along this song of jamming guitar, and haunting atonal tin whistle.

The path of desire - 6:41
Slow mutant blues jam, a beauteous piece with a ponderous bass vaguely reminescent of Killdozer, a classic piece of skewed blues psychedelic guitar, hand drums, and a meandering sample treatment. I want things when I listen to this song.

I'll have pleasure over meaning anyday - 1:11
Bizarre no-wave thrashy punk about the virtues of leaving language and the structure of our modern society, and returning to the behaviour patterns we evolved with.

communication is an illusion - 5:30
Inspired piece of atonal improvisational guitar - free jazz like if anything.

can't we all just get along, man - 30:03
The usual slew of noises, hisses, and haunting, groaning loops produce a sound that occasionally sounds like Merzbow, but usually just like nothing but Tangent Precipitate's unique sound.

information gathering exercise - 9:20

lost data transmission - 14:27
Great hooting loops slowly fade out to leave great long creepy echoey low tones and squealing squelching squalling synth tones.

recalibration - 7:09
Pretty synth loops contrast against long slow hissy but bassy wind style noises that give way to resonant squeals and long synth groans.

encounter - 8:27

stolen data - 13:00

I think I'm getting it together now(midpoint of a journey) - 8:24
Beautiful twin guitar piece that moves from a rocking jammy riff into an slow atmospheric looping passage. With an atonal, tribal wind track.

digital ebola analogue - 12:57
Electronic sounds and wind are combined to create a mood of sick despair, decay, and a paranoid feeling of weakness and aloneness. Draws on the influence of Throbbing Gristle, and of primitive, tribal music.

failed perpetual motion machine #002 - 11:03
Multilayered tonal and atonal samples and noise, and tortured and changing loops describe an attempt to cheat the basic laws of thermodynamics through all means imaginable and unimaginable (an occasional series).

where we are (we are! we are!) - 19:07
The haunting call of a lost tribe in the depths of heat fever. A treated loop and improvisational wind make for an evocative and atmospheric piece.
