about

* Welcome to the next in my series of lunatic lockdown albums!
* Each week for 5 weeks, I’m releasing a new album for just a little over a shekel.

In this release – “Old Dark” - I leaned towards the use of classical music elements. As always, there are the signature spectre collector drones, found sounds and sometimes disturbing SFX.

I named the album “Old Dark” because the tracks suggest another period in history.

The tracks are mainly instrumental. The titles and dark, twisted atmospheres hint at the terrible things that may be occurring. This allows your mind to fill in the gaps and create the ghastly scenarios.
