about

Another voyage through glitches and mishaps.

I was feeling a lot of anger towards my experience with chronic pain during the making of this, and I wanted to try reshape the negativity into something fun and aggressive. Most tracks were composed and pieced together from field-recordings and jams, and the forced glitching/degradation of those elements.

Put together using Audacity, Reaper, guitar, vocals, drums, TV and my many cassette recorders.

A slightly different version of this album will be coming out on Live God as a bonus for buying my next album Beyond Beauty.

about

Thomas Agora Bellingham, Washington

My focus is the mood and emotions hidden in the infinite textures of sound. This music might not make you dance, but it will make you ponder.

Thomas Agora is also a side project of Keenan Ketzner, who makes more normal music.
