wh207 mystified – Revenge of Plunderman

C.P. McDill — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 03:21:24 +0000

Plunderman strikes again, this time with a set of Moog-flavored grooves with a worldly perspective.

“Revenge Of Plunderman” completes the trilogy which started with “Adventures Of Plunderman” and continued with “Return of Plunderman.”

Plunderman continues his quest for the perfectly eccentric loop with some ancient Moog melodies ripped from vinyl. Being somewhat twisted, he has transformed these vinyl loops into world-beat songs. “Revenge Of Plunderman” feels both retro and futuristic, hearkening to antique sounds and looking forward to an era of global unity.

Produced in 2011 by Thomas Park.

Track List:
01 Plunderman 11 [03:42]
02 Plunderman 12 [04:53]
03 Plunderman 13 [04:05]
04 Plunderman 14 [03:50]

wh204 Mystified – Overtone Drones

C.P. McDill — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 18:52:20 +0000

Following on the success of Mystified’s “Bone Drones” series comes a new collection of drone works, this time drawing its sounds entirely from a wooden overtone flute.

“In August of 2011, Thomas of mystified purchased an overtone flute from artist Steve Brand. The flute, when played, hits a single note on various octaves. It produces a nice, breathy tone. Thomas immediately became interested in using sounds from the flute to create acoustic drones. Each of the 5 pieces in Overtone Drones was made using only sounds from the overtone flute. Tracks one through four each used a single note blown on the flute. Track five contains sounds from one through four run through further effects and processes. Thomas hopes you will enjoy these drones, although no synthesizers were used in their creation.”

wh189 Mystified – Bone Drones 2

Mystified continues his collection of drone-ambient works derived entirely from trombone sounds, this time with a prehistoric theme.

“Bone Drones 2: Prehistory” is an essay in brass on the times when giants walked the earth. The main source for this release was a single, very high-pitched tone played on Mystified’s trombone. This sound was recorded and processed into different sounds, with varying qualities. The resulting sounds were layered and mastered. Mystified dedicates these drones to the ancient reptiles that fed on plants and one another during the many eras before man or even mammals. Take a trip back to prehistory! — Thomas Park

wh174 Mystified & The Ghost Between the Strings – Ghostbone

“Ghostbone was recorded in late Winter of 2011 by French guitarist The Ghost Between The Strings and American trombonist Mystified. No synths were used. Only acoustic sources are in this release. Some sounds were processed before mixed, and a random function in the processing tool was heavily used, to add chance to the palette of tools on board. Mystified would like to add that these are some of his most nefarious soundscapes. Whether it was the influence of TGBTS or an especially brutal Winter it is hard to say, but this music tests the extremes of darkness. Listen and find yourself stranded in a midnight Old World forest. . .”–Thomas Park, mystified

wh171 Mystified – Bone Drones

C.P. McDill — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 01:10:43 +0000

Mystified, ever experimenting and innovating, has created a collection of drone-ambient works derived entirely from trombone sounds.

Download the whole album as a zip file or click here for more downloading and streaming options.

“For each of these 5 pieces I played a long note on the trombone, trying hard to get a good tone, and holding the note as long as I could. I then processed the notes. The software I used had a “randomize” feature, and I used that a lot for the processing. Each song you hear is a single note on a real trombone processed randomly, then re-composed in an editing program.” — Thomas Park

These are also available as a collection of remixable samples here.

wh120 Mystified – SphereSlowChime

C.P. McDill — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 00:40:03 +0000

“SphereSlowChime” by Mystified is a subtle, meditative piece crafted using generative methods, characterized by long reverberating gong and chime sounds.

Download the whole album as a zip file or click here for more downloading and streaming options.

“SphereSlowChime” was derived from a piece of generative midi created in the late 1990′s by Thomas Park. The MIDI was made with fractal generation, using the geometry of a sphere for seed data. In 2009, this piece of MIDI was transformed into a WAV file, slightly edited, and then processed using a windchime effect and reverberation. Mystified would like to cite Akashic Crow’s Nest as an influence for this music. — Thomas Park
