Untold Brainardsville Episode 004: Baphomet Glam

hunsmire@yahoo.com (Zen Tyrants) — Thu, 5 Feb 2015 11:41:00 -0800

"Baphomet Glam" is a two-hour remix, combining 2 separate remixes that were to be broadcast on Fnoob-Underground-Radio in December 2014 and January 2015 as "Oblivion Quarantine Session" episodes 5 & 6. Because Fnoob.com cancelled, I did some major surgery and rearranged some portions into this slightly modified version.

Tribute of the Hafgygr Issue

hunsmire@yahoo.com (Zen Tyrants) — Mon, 9 Dec 2013 17:04:00 -0800

Audio samples were taken from a cassette tape recorded long ago on the road with the US Navy Band UNITAS, somewhere in South America, processed using radiaL and Traktor. Soundscape recycles one of Directive 14s fortnightly radio shows along with trendy beats. This is a test of different video production software but the rest is the same: a Traktor mix with video generated by my Vizzie software. Music is by Zen Tyrants, aka myself and djandyredrum. Produced at the cold Lumberjack Research Shack in December, 2013.

dance suite in three parts

Freya Slice, part 1 of a projected multi-video series of electronic music dance works for video by Zen Tyrants, a collaborative project between myself and dj andyredrum. I edited part of the 23 August 2013 debut episode from Andy's new Directive 14 radio show that he broadcasts fortnightly at 19:00 EST on Fnoob.com's Fnoob Techno Radio, added some subtle ambient atmospheric background layers, remastered the remix, and then added some video. This was produced at the Lumberjack Research Shanty on 5 September 2013 up here in the woods, and on upload, this was immediately flagged by Youtube for a copyright notice regarding "Currier, John Jacob - Don't Think" that Andy used on his show. Sorry guys.

Valhalla Quadrant, part 2 of Zen Tyrants' video suite, "Valkyrie Parabolic", in Viking Proggy Tech style using the esoteric formula, created aug-sept 2013 at Miami Beach and the Lumberjack Research Shanty.

Video was produced using TaterViz video manipulation software created using Vizzie modules in MAX/MSP/Jitter. Original video was shot on location at Chateaugay Lake, Brainardsville, and Ellenburg Hill, NY, Sept., 2013. Ice sculptures and photography by Tom Holmes.
