Music

Along with code, music is the medium I have been doing the longest and devoted the most time to. I am (and was) involved in many music projects, each exploring different styles and ideas.

Krovo

Krovo (bandcamp) is my "main" musical project. It focuses on explorations and experimentations in both texture and rhythm, taking heavy influence from styles such as glitch, rhythmic noise, EAI, musique concrete, flashcore, and abstract noise.

For a sampling, the following releases are the ones I'm most proud of:

• Messer (bandcamp)
• Xyko (bandcamp)
• Axis (bandcamp)
• Permanently (bandcamp)
• krxl/Qbd (bandcamp)
• Oktrans (bandcamp)
• Noiser (archive.org)

modula t. worm

I put out music under the name modula t. worm (bandcamp) when it doesn't fit under my other projects. Thus each release under this name is even less consistent with the others than those under my other projects.

So far I have produced 4 releases under this name (most recent first):

• easy magic - Spastic electronic piano improvisation cut from a session recorded in 2011 (but released in 2022).
• rapjams - Four tracks of hip-hop sliced, shuffled, and scattered into nega-juke, avant-breakcore, and/or other (non-)genres. All tracks were performed/programmed in real-time in SuperCollider with varying degrees of improvisation.
• autosequence - Two tracks of automatically-sequenced algorithmic acid created in Pure Data.
• colder - Improvised electro-acoustic works made accidentally during bouts of heavy depression.

Ostensibly Ossified

Ostensibly Ossified (bandcamp) is a "cover band" specializing in internetcore, post-mash-up, avant-breakcore, and plunderphonics. It's heavily inspired by YouTube Poop and similar internet artforms. Don't tell the other members I said this, but the project shouldn't be taken too seriously. Just enjoy the absurdity.

Recommended works:

• Cash Extraction Mechanism - symphonic internetcore, post-plunderphonics, and musique concrete sound collage.
• Shitfest 3090 - harsh noise speed-mashup.

other projects

Aside from the main ones listed above, I've also organized and been a part of many other projects as well:

• Nature Circuit
• K-PDT - a netlabel I ran from 2004-2010 that specialized in electronic and experimental music.
• Eirkora - a compilation of original tracks by artists who were part of the label.
• Kyn3ticXR - Aside from a few bands with friends (whose recordings sadly don't survive), this was my first official music project.
  • Default - the first album I ever released (April 9, 2007), made entirely in FL Studio. It's obviously pretty novice, but some people seem to appreciate it, so here it is.
• Mütex - Along with Kyn3ticXR, this is the oldest of my projects whose recordings survive to this day.
  • Fraq
  • Mütex Collection
• Ice Devouring Sex Tornado
