oceans in space

who would have guessed, after 2 months of void ''roots.stop'' has came across 2 masterpieces in just 2 days... first ''normalboy'' & now this:
''oceans in space'', a project of a man called ''ben weber'' from ''minneapolis'', minnesota, u.s.. as a project, ''oceans in space'' is best described as ''the deconstruction of stringed instruments by electronic means''. ''oceans'' started as a bass player, creating music in the ''experimental metal'' & fusion genres before discovering the ''chapman stick'', the instrument that would define his existence & shape up the ''oceans in space'' sound. most of his releases involve the ''chapman stick'', played in an extremely non-traditional way over fractured synths & glitched-out beats of ben's own design. he records constantly, taking the stick + electronics formula into genres like ''black metal'', ''grindcore'', ''8-bit electronic'', ''trap'', ''slam'', ''glam'' & even ''pop''.
most of his music has been released by ''scumcom'' netlabel like this masterclass we're presenting to you here - ''femalien predation on mars'', probably one of the 5 most interesting ''i.d.m. / braindance / freestyle fusions / freestyle electronic'' albums of the year.
here's what ''ben'' told us about it:
''this album was inspired by my discovery that mars is inhabited. i learned of this via the research of three chrononauts: andrew basiago, bernard mendez & brett stillings. definitely look them up. i’ve done countless hours of research & this was my way to interpret & reflect what i’ve learned via sound. life on mars does exist, & this album is my way of telling the world.
most of this was created on the ipad with turnado, glitch breaks, tonestack & others. these apps were used to create the synth & drum sounds, over which i used my 8 string n.s. stick to create the guitar, bass & additional synth sounds. those are the main elements. there are some additional hidden things, but it's probably best not to discuss them.''
amen!

normalboy

it's been a while but we're back... we've been searching for the right type of artist for our next post & after almost 2 months of exploration we have finally found someone who coincides with our criterion.
he goes by the name of ''anthony'' but he's also known as ''normalboy'' & also as a member of ''hillsgoteyes'' project (along his friend ''john mcvay'', a.k.a. ''go as death''). originally from ''tucson'', arizona, u.s., ''anthony'' started making music at very amateur level with microsoft sound recorder back in high-school. then started publishing it online in greater frequency using sequencing programs around 2004, although very few of those creations still exist.
his first official release made in 2007 for just 28 days was outstanding ''dead signal'' album, a superb ''post-industrial / i.d.m.'' self-release made way ahead of its space & time. it's one of those albums you didn't know that even exist but as soon as you hear it you'll say - ''how the hell could i miss this...?!''. same goes for other 3 officials: ''works in progress'' (singles collection, 2014, self-released), ''triptych'' (e.p., 2015, self-released), & ''abstracts'' (2015, self-released). it's the materials you just simply have to have stored on your hard-drive, especially if you're a fan of ''i.d.m. / ambient / post-industrial / experimental / synthwave'' type of crossovers.
we were in doubt which one of these masterpieces should we bring you here so we've decided to give you this - a superb piece of ''i.d.m. / post-industrial'', unofficial but stunner it is:

01. ''a view to normalboy'' (e.p., compilation, unofficial release, 2015)

* note: comes in both ''mp3, 320kbps, cbr'' & ''flac, 24bit, no compression'' options
