Oscillicraft Music

Oscillicraft

1. (n) the weaving together of
synthetic sounds to create music

Hello and welcome to the website of Oscillicraft! From floaty chillout to filthy freeform, it's all here, but whatever the genre it's always a psychedelic musical journey.


THRILLPSYKER

Thrillpsyker

My current project involves writing a collection of deep, hard, fullon yet progressive psy. That's progressive in the sense of having progression, not in the sense of staying at 137 bpm ;-)

I'm hosting it as I go on my last.fm page here.


OSCILLICRAFT

Oscillicraft

My older material is hosted here. It's a cross between chillout and dancefloor material - dancable if you want to, but not in a compelling pounding way! Genres vary considerably throughout - the idea was to create a musical journey.

Sets I have played as Oscillicraft:

Oscillicraft sets tend to be a mixture of my own and other material - mainly psytrance, though with some occasional extra randomness. I have recently been adding to the recorded music with my so-called squelch slinky, an instrument made from nintendo wii controllers (photos to come soon). I also play interactive chillout as Psydeshow Bob, or as one half of Bobtickle Illusion, in addition to occasionally running improvisation workshops.

I get musical ideas in all sorts of places. The cover of Thrillpsyker is a picture I took of moonrise over the Glacier Blanc, while bivying on a pile of rocks and before climbing the Barre Noire Coulire and Traverse of the Barre des Ecrins (in other words, a long day out mountaineering!). The bivi site is where I wrote the tune of the same name, in the form of text messages saved in the outbox of my friend Tom's phone. Here's a couple of other pictures relating to inspiring moments, from a few years back...

   

I also have a page of slightly more random material.
