Starship Kiji

Starship Kiji is the first full generative album release of Nervous Plaything. By using combination of generative techniques, with classic synthwave timbres and structures, the album explores the human psyche as it goes on a journey through the far reaches of space.

In Your Head

This week I write about some variations to some Live Takes I have done. This work has been reworked a few time for different listening effect. I like exploring processing works and this is no exception.

The Drone Countdown

Over the last six week, I have been counting down to the big event of my 300th Live Takes. This is a a special occasion so I thought I would put together a small countdown to celebrate. I have put together 6 drone works that are aptly named to countdown 5 different style (2 being a 2 part piece). Here is the explanation of the works.

Plan Jam and the Evolution of Process

Last year I put up a track named Plan Jam that was a fun little electro ditty. I have since done 3 additional reworks of the original. I will be discussing those, in comparison to the original, today. The impact of these works will have future ramifications to my Live Takes series, more on that at the end of the post.
