Another mixed bag of experimental music and unreleased stuff all made quite a while ago when I got bored and started to experiment with sound and music which is my favorite thing to do when making music or at least one of them. I would say I have been experimenting with music for some time and started with cassette tapes making loops from them and to see what you could do with a cassette tape. One thing I discovered is that you can back mask with a cassette tape and is something I did a little bit. To be honest, I can’t remember all the things I discovered but I knew as a kid it blew my mind and left me wanting to experiment with the tape a bit more and I did. It’s one of my favorite ways to experiment and used to start with some sort of tape ritual even though most of the time more than not I wished I didn’t use the tape as the sounds sometimes come worn and like it’s under water which isn’t good for quality wise. I find a lot of tape saturation which can be found on a cassette tape works well for eerie and experimental music and when I can be bothered to get the cassette tape out which is partly broken which is why I don’t use it so much but when I do I make some good sounding tracks and has interesting wobbles and stuff on it which would be bad for a normal use of a tape player. Another favorite way of making experimental music is going to the charity shop and buying toys and things that tend to make noise and experimenting with the sounds I selected. That’s fun and I could be there for hours experimenting and using hardware filters and FXS like delay and reverb those are the top two I use. As I said before I made the songs quite a while ago back in 2020 and onwards and was just me messing about one day being bored and thinking I can experiment with music again as it keeps me entertained for a while. All the songs from the A Lil Experimentation series weren’t going to be released but as I was making a new and another artist name for my experimentation stuff and also game music I thought it would be perfect to add them all and hopefully get them heard as I thought they were good enough for people to stream and buy. My favorite on the album is Time Slip a song I made whilst live on YouTube, Rabbit Hole is a dark and sort of glitchy track that I made in the past but have rediscovered but I’m sure it sounds different from the original, sound quality for one. I was making music for the Earth and is all about the frequencies blown out of the speakers. I was told that in the future this was in the 2000s speakers would blow out the right frequencies enough to make it rain spontaneously for example and start with the tribes banging on drums to make it rain. The rain dance is a classic example of a popular dance with drums that can make it rain and is due to the frequencies from banging on the drum. The panting of my dog on the track Rabbit Hole is what makes the earth think or do something that I can’t remember but panting from dogs is good for the earth. The other Earth song and favorite on the album is Dougie, it’s another old track I recreated and is jazzy I think, and has the strings to calm the earth down or there would be some sort of explosion lol. I should explain even further by saying the earth runs on a hum which is a frequency or hertz if you can accompany the frequency you could make it rain for example or even heal the earth a little bit by easing tension. The classic example of easing tension is a thunder-like rumble in the sky which is loud but muffled but is distinctly heard but the effects do vary around the world depending on how far you are close to the center of the earth IE the core. My other favorites on the album are Scratch Card a found sound experimental drum and bass track, Vito a synthy experimental track  Harvest The Day, and Clear Out the last two are more melodic experimental and were something I just put together.
