This is one of the names I used in my solo experimental electronic music period. I think I’ll just rerelease everything under Slumlord Byron at some point for simplicity sake.
Here’s the backstory for G3nGhI$ Pr@Wn.
From his meager beginnings as a lowly plankton, GeNGhi$ Pr@wN is now poised to cut a swath of musical destruction through the sea of electronica.
Desert Planet (EP)
My electronic music and sound recording professor in college, Paul Geissinger, was a successful electronic musician himself who went by Starkey. When he first heard the song, ‘Desert Planet he said, “I don’t know what time signature this is in, but it’s really cool!” Here is the Desert Planet EP. Besides the hauntingly offbeat, ‘Desert Planet,’ it also contains the psytrance tune, ‘I Believe,” a 1960’s girlgroup pop song put into a blender and played in a futuristic dance club called Chaos and Disorder and the avant garde, ‘Fighting Dirty.’
I Can See Weirdly Now (EP)
I took a speech by Ted Kennedy and rearranged words and syllables to make him say “Ronald Reagan is a man who has taken many forms over many years. Crocodiles, elephants, plants and trees.” From there it spiraled even more out of control in a very fun way. Thus, “Ronald Reagan Was a Shapeshifter” was born. Also on this album is “Hope Springs Infernal,” electronic metal with a synth solo instead of a guitar solo. Finally, appears “Dragons of Jupiter” which contains a dragons roar that I created by blending a roaring tiger, a squealing pig, a sneeze and an explosion. The music was inspired by the fight scene music from Star Trek: The Original Series and a calliope.
See? Food!
Then came my experimental electronic album where every song title is food related. The dischordant 8 bit catastrophe, “Bread and Circuses.” which has been described as being like an old computer connecting to the Internet. Then comes “Nacho Yeti Blunderbuss” which a friend described as “a hike through a nature reserve on mushrooms.” Song #3 is Romulan Ale, chill, atmospheric house music. Then ‘Water” which uses actual clips of splashing, sloshing, and pouring water along with a sonar sound. One of the beats of the composition is rhythmic waves. I don’t want to spoil all the surprises, though. There are 8 more tracks.
See? Food Too!
This album continues the food titles theme. “Yum Yum” so named because the synth sounds like a distorted voice repeating those words and with a sick beat that I’m particularly proud of. “Royal Jelly,” what I imagine a rock band composed of bees would sound like. The boisterous, “Rum Raisin’” and rollicking “Roast Beast.” The flatulent “Mud Pie.” The angelic/demonic “Fallen Angel Food Cake.” etc. This album is only available on soundcloud as of yet.
