Wow, this is... pretty good. It has a very legitimately lo-fi recording quality, like it was actually recorded on some memphis tape, instead of that clean shit like DJ Smokey. Thanks for showing me this, my man.

Your taste is supremely good, sir. I saw your comments on the C93 shoutbox, I've recently began listening and it's some of the most beautiful stuff I've ever heard.

Yeah, I guessed from reading the lyrics that it was about that or something along those lines, darkly beautiful. I've sent "The Bloodbells Chime" to many friends and they've all found as beautiful we do. Infinite beauty.

The Bloodbell's Chimes is universally beautiful, my good man, because it touches upon the loss of innocence and how once we grow up, we can never go back to seeing things with the sense of child-like wonder we used to. It's something everyone can relate to, i think. All of All The Pretty Little Horses is about the loss of innocence. to be more specific, it's about the loss of innocence being portrayed as an apocalypse.

Absolutely. That's why I found it so emotionally resonant for, because I was definitely able to relate to the meaning, not being able to see things, the world, with child like wonder. Very moving. I can't believe I've gone so long without listening to the infinite beauty of Current 93.

I'd recommend you to check out all of their music, but i think you should really take a listen to Sleep Has His House. It was made after Tibet's father died and all of the album is essentially Tibet processing his death in real time. The massive title track in particular is nothing short of divine.

Thank you, my friend, I absolutely will give a listen to that. I've made it a mission now to listen to every Current 93 album and hopefully pick up some of their stuff on vinyl and CD. Thank you!

Is that Ligotti more of his spoken word kinda stuff? He's the best writer in the "apocalyptic horror that goes exactly with C93 music" category

you mean The Unholy City? they're original tunes by the man himself (he dreamed of being a rock star in the 90s and became guitar nerd) and all the lyrics are prose poems vaguely relating to Crampton, a unfilmed episode of the X-Files he wrote. If you like his poetry in I Have A Special Plan For This World and This Degenerate Little Town, a fan of his fiction, or even a C93 fan (his neofolk tunes are incredibly memorable, specially Nobody Is Anybody) then it's a must listen. The only best neofolk i've found is C93 themselves.

I would suggest as well "The Moons At Your Door". It expresses the same atmosphere of dread and confusion as in collaboration with Ligotti ;) I'm surprised that you haven't heard it yet.

I've read the book. Didn't care for it that much outside of Ligotti. I'd recommend you the book "The Consumer" by Michael Gira, it's quite different from Ligotti (where Ligotti is rarely graphic, The Consumer is extremely graphic, where Ligotti's horror is based on implications and extreme amounts of dread influenced by anxiety episodes, The Consumer's horror is based around scatological dissonance and a strange pseudo-essay writing style, etc) but the philosophical pessimism and surreal imagery is still there.

Dude I didin't even get my hands on Ligotti books yet. Until recently there wasn't even one single book translated and interest in his prose in my country was rather marginal. In the end we got collection of stories called Teatro Grottesco and essays Conspiracy against human race. And those books are horrendously expensive so I'm waiting for some used ones haha

Distortion sounds too digital. Try to make simple punk riffs, the best noise rock bands (my favorites at least) are all garage punk bands playing with either lo-fi production or insane amounts of distortion. Look for some noise rock bands for inspiration: Brainbombs (edgy as fuck and repetitive as all hell but somehow catchy as fuck) and Guitar Wolf (japanese punks that combine catchy as fuck riffs with distortion so loud it blows most grindcore bands out of the park)

Dude, that's EASILY your best work yet. I'm glad you took my advice (and i'm glad i could help in any way) pitch shifting worked out well for you. that said, i'm not the biggest fan of those trap influenced 808s

not bad at all, kinda reminds me of the industrial hip hop i used to make (although that was made to be intentionally obnoxious so that's a compliment of dubious quality). The noise sampling def needs a lot of work (in fact, you should try to not sample noise at all and simply create your own) but i did like the lo-fi beats and the mumble rap

that shit is fucking lost forever along with the most of the music i used to make, and even some movies (mostly shorts i used to do with friends, although i did do a few barely full length movies). It's a shame too because i loved all of those things, i get very nostalgic and sad thinking about it.

I really fucking like track 4 (the one about shool). It's damn good. two questions about it: is that beat by lil ugly mane a pre-existing beat that you used or did you commission the beat to the guy himself. and the other question is: is the song auto-biographical?
