Deorbit

Centuries before the Obsidian Fleet emerges from the deepest pockets of space, humanity remains planetbound, challenged by its own stubborn empiricism, but ever dreaming towards the greater fold.

Puzzle Agent 2

Disasterpeace — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 16:13:35 +0000

Agent Nelson Tethers just solved the biggest case of his career. So why isn’t he satisfied? There’s still the case of a missing eraser factory foreman, a whispering madness is still creeping from mind to mind, and a troubling recurrence of… creatures… is lurking into the town.

The FBI’s Department of Puzzle Research has marked the case closed — are they sweeping it under the rug? Or worse, do they not even care? Worried that the case will languish forever unsolved, Tethers must go rogue and venture back to the eerie town of Scoggins, Minnesota to solve the mystery of “the Hidden People” once and for all.

Vault: The Seventh Formation

Disasterpeace — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 06:45:41 +0000

In 2006, towards the end of August, I wrote out a rough 45 seconds or so of ideas in MIDI based around a 7/8 rhythm and tentatively called it “Weird Violence”.

Weird Violence (MIDI)

A few days later, I started working on another idea; unlike the previous, this one had some legs, and I wound up incorporating the core idea of Weird Violence into one of its sections. By the end it was about five and a half minutes long.

The Seventh Formation (MIDI)

After bringing the song into Reason and cleaning it up, I sensed that it was right up the alley of some of the other music I had been writing at the time; tunes like Jump Error. As a result I decided to include it in my plans for the space concept album that I’d eventually release four years later. The track was called “The Seventh Formation”, a slight nod to the meter of the earliest idea for this song.

The Seventh Formation (MP3)

The similarities between The Seventh Formation and its new counterpart “The New Formation” are heard right away, but with each passing second the contrast between the two becomes greater. By the end of each piece, their relationship to each other is hard to determine. The New Formation really only uses a few of the original elements, and takes the material in an entirely new direction.
