Dark ambient drone artist Dirty Knobs is set to release a double vinyl album called A Disenchanted Snake but only if it reaches its Kickstarter funded goal of $10,000 in 26 days time. Quite a difficult feat I can ashore you. I urge you to go support it somehow if you can at Kickstarter here.
*all time stretched remixes are piece of art, the same piece remade again and again like a Warhol being reproduced or the same Fluxus joke being shown again and again. That's what makes each and everyone brilliant and legitimate.
Here is PSY's "Gangnam Style" slowed by 500% by Dirty Knobs.
"On Wednesday July 4, scientists at CERN announced that they had found a Higgs-like particle after analyzing results from the Large Hadron Collider. Researchers detected a "bump" in their data corresponding to a particle weighing in at 126 gigaelectronvolts (GeV), consistent with the Higgs Boson, which is believed to give mass to all other particles.
The results have now been "sonified" Sonification works by attaching a musical note to each data. So, when you hear the resulting melody you really are hearing the data, amazingly, the sonification produced a habanera-like music."
Dirty Knobs then took the resulting upbeat tune and time stretched it to create his tune Higgs Boson.. which you can play below and download here.
Field Recording From The Edge Of Hell by Dirty Knobs... lasting nearly nine hours and over 1Gig in size this album is a monolith of time stretched ambient wonder, grinding up from the nether regions of the aural psyche, slowly ploughing its way through your day, a soundtrack to forever, glacial in its movements yet surprisingly diverse it will reveal and destroy you mind with its dark phosphorous lit beauty. It costs a dollar to download from Bandcamp and some of the tracks are free if you're such a cheapskate that you wont pay!
Want four hours of ambient doom drone? Ghost Geometry is an album by Zac Bentz who goes by the artist name of Dirty Knobs. The album is out on Xero Music and you can download it from Bandcamp for $1. This is beautiful epic drone-scapes on a gigantic scale, each track is at least twenty five minutes long! Be careful downloading it as its going to take some time at four hours long. If you're in the UK this is the perfect soundtrack to the hungover bank holiday that is today.
