bioroid 2.

10 moto-SLAVE - Bioroid 2 by Gravity Halo

this is a moto-SLAVE track i contributed to the gravity halo 'broken pieces' compilation. i did a track called 'bioroid' on the colors EP, this one is 'bioroid 2' and there's a track called 'bioroid 3' that will be on my next EP, so its becoming a bit of an ongoing series, i guess. they're completely different tracks, but they're all related story-wise. they all revolve around the relationship between 2 of the characters in 'midnight mass' - andrea and charles, who have a very twisted relationship that you'll start to understand if you read the stories (although at this moment, i don't think i've published the big shocker between these two...i'll probably put that up when the new EP comes out). the relationship between these two is a major part of the ongoing story, so you can probably expect to see a few more 'bioroid' tracks in the future.

indian summer.

summery weather is pretty touch and go here in san francisco.  our summer comes late in the year and even then is punctuated by random spurts of rain and gloom.  you gotta take the warm weather as it comes.  for now it's nice, so it's inspiring some late summertime jams.

sketch 01.

i've started doing a lot of single-session tracks lately.  sketches, really, but they rarely evolve into anything substantial.  but for some reason i still like them as loose little vignettes, so i'm going to start posting a few of them.  back in school i always liked flipping through people's sketchbooks and seeing their raw little doodles, so it's kinda like that.
most of the time they're inspired by images i've seen or random thoughts that i've had, so i'm going to try to include those things in the posts as well.

one of the things i love about living in cities is the stuff you find if you poke around a little. hidden spaces, forgotten alleys, places where things once happened that are now just part of the scenery. remember how it was? by moto-SLAVE
