(2012) Tears Of Glass

A new release by Viral Implications. It’s called ‘Tears Of Glass’. The EP has five songs on it.

It kicks of with ‘The Beauty of Sinus’, a five minute piece of work. More up-tempo than the previous songs of Viral Implications. I was looking for a much more warmer sound in the music. A repetitive drum pattern with use of a synthesizer. Drums were programmed in the application Battery (finally figured out how to create my own midi files). This first song is a good example of the sound I was looking for on this EP.

Track list

  1. The Beauty Of Sinus 5:24
  2. Virality 5:04
  3. Tears Of Glass 3:06
  4. A Homeless Farewell 4:16
  5. The Falling Of Freedom 3:24

I’ve started working on new material for Boy In Trouble. Again electro based, bit rough on the edges. Working title is Electronika.

There are some demo’s on my disc that need a proper finish. ‘Down & Dirty’ is the first track I started working on a few months ago.

A nice drum track, with the help of ‘Battery’, a bassline – simple loops from my synth, some sequencer loops and a distorted guitar that runs through a phaser. It sounds okay this way. I’ve been playing around with more stuff, but that doesn’t add anything to the song. I’ll just leave it this way.

Usually when I start recording I haven’t got a clue which of my aliasses will use the material. But this time it is quite clear that it is new Boy In Trouble material.

It will take a month or so to finish the other songs. Not an album this time but a 4 or 5 piece EP.

Viral Implications – Tears Of Glass

I’ve just finished the new EP by Viral Implications. It’s called ‘Tears Of Glass’. The EP has five songs on it.

It kicks of with ‘The Beauty of Sinus’, a five minute piece of work. More up-tempo than the previous songs of Viral Implications. I was looking for a much more warmer sound in the music. A repetitive drum pattern with use of a synthesizer. Drums were programmed in the application Battery (finally figured out how to create my own midi files).This first song is a good example of the sound I was looking for on this EP.

The second song is called ‘Virality’ and hints more at the previous work of Viral Implications. Like most of the songs on this EP ‘Vitality’ quietly moves on.

The title track of this EP ‘Tears Of Glass’ consists of two loops; drum loop and a 303 loop. It has two major breaks, exploring a totally different ground, but it still fits together. It was the second track I recorded (after the midi thing). Although the rough version was recorded in about three hours, it took me another month to finish it. One of the samples I’ve used in this song was called ‘Glass’, which originally was the working title of the song. For some reason it got changed into ‘Tears of Glass’.

The fourth song ‘A Homeless Farewell’ is one of those songs that just erupts from a recording session. Base track with the drums and bass were on my harddrive. I started to fiddle with some guitars and added strings. It gave its nostalgic feel. Like Arjen says: “a typical autumn song”. This one builts up to its climax at the end. I really love this one.

The last song is a bit out of tune with the other ones. Which has become kinda like a trademark for me, over the past few years. A track that I wanted to use for Zero V’s ‘Conflict of Emotions’, but too loud for that EP. I still wonder which turn I took from the original jazzy demo of this song ;-)

The EP will be released on the ON-Mix Music label as onmp188.

(2011) Industrial Fascination

Industrail Fascination is Henk’s debut release for ON-Mix Music. He carries the listener on an aural journey of alienated proportions.

“Industrial Fascination” is the equivalent of a still life – a sonic space where nothing much happens but everything moves.
“Steel Arches” is susurrating helix of drones – sounds that shimmer drift at glacier speed, fragments that are hints of melody.

Album is written, played and produced by Henk.

Tracks:

  1. Industrial Fascination
  2. Steel Arches

(2011) The Entry

A masterpiece of unrivalled beauty and complexity, Viral Implication’s The Entry channels the experimentation of the band’s prior EP’s into a more controlled setting; a series of atmospheric set pieces, the songs find a common ground between accepted musical formulas and avant innovation — at first glance, tracks like “Sphere” and “Humming” appear tightly structured, yet they avoid the dynamics of conventional songcraft like choruses and solos with remarkable dexterity.

The songs are finely honed to pass as mere ambient soundscapes, leaving the record best ascribed to a force not unlike alchemy — The Entry begins with base musical materials, but transforms them into something mysterious, haunting, and breathtakingly visionary.

Tracks:

  1. Intro
  2. Sphere
  3. Humming
  4. Flutely

(2010) Freaky and Funky

Instrumentalist Zero V is in excellent form playing, recording and producing the exciting follow-up to “The Hard Changing of the Seasons”.More mellow than its predecessor, but more experimental exploring the boundaries of the Nu-Jazz phenomenon.

The EP kicks off with a mellow jazz track called “Don’t Rush”. Followed by a more funky track “Only Fools”. The third track “Come & Play” consists of a dominant role for the horn and his old rhodes.

The last track “Freaky & Funky” is where the experiment kicks in. Working with a guitar loop and layers of synths and some detuned drums, he creates a wonderfull piece of music.

Tracks:

  1. Don’t Rush
  2. Only Fools
  3. Come & Play
  4. Freaky & Funky
