Don't Ask (Special Edition) FISHCD021

This special edition of Any Questions? - Don't Ask celebrates the 30th anniversary of the electro-terrorist unit’s second audio assault. The band's harsh Industrial sound emerges on this release and forms the foundation for their later sonic experiments.

Darkness (Special Edition) FISHCD022

This special edition of Any Questions? - Darkness celebrates the 29th anniversary of the electro-terrorist unit’s release of pure audio sculpture.  The electronic experiments and sonic soundscapes contained within herald the beginnings of the Imbued Vagary project.

Ice Rift

Ice Rift is an audio sculpture culled from Any Questions? - Darkness. This rare 1992 release offered an early glimpse into our Imbued Vagary project and an example of the synthetic tapestries that we would weave into our future film work.

The longest of all of the songs from Darkness. Ice Rift is probably the bleakest. It's another song which I composed well past midnight and before the first rays of dawn. These hours proved to be quite fertile creatively for me while I explored some very dark corners.

P.S. This photo of Ttam Troll was taken at FFS II Synth Jam 2010 - Punish Your Machine on 06/05/10.

Procession

Procession is an audio sculpture culled from Any Questions? - Darkness. This rare 1992 release offered an early glimpse into our Imbued Vagary project and an example of the synthetic tapestries that we would weave into our future film work.

Like the other songs from Darkness, this electronic soundscape invites the listener to follow me as I delve into my own dark psyche. Created during solitary late night recording sessions at FFS II, I would work through the night until the first rays of the dawn burned my skin. At that time, I would retreat until Darkness, once again, ruled the night.

You Have Nowhere To Go

Any Questions? - Darkness release from 1992 was the precursor to what eventually became our Imbued Vagary project. During this period, I spent a significant amount of time creating audio sculptures which reflected my increasingly bleak dystopian views.

You Have Nowhere To Go is a brooding and eerie soundscape which captures a very intimate journey into one of those darker places. It is the shortest of three songs which made it onto the final release and is the only one to feature movie dialogue samples. The other two songs, Ice Rift and Procession, are long, sprawling instrumentals.

So, wait for the Witching Hour, when all is still and silent, then follow the trail of bread crumbs I left behind...
