Oblivion Quarantine Session 004 by Esotronika on Mixcloud

Untold Brainardsville Episode 004: Baphomet Glam


"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

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.
