A fuckabout live recording from me to you

Some dithering about with some melodies I know Lethe heard me give him to put out

Voidtouched (song)
Salvation (song)

#VoidReclamation

📌 The opening EP is going to be brutal

@lethe and I are working together on the true meat and potatoes of the Oaks’ song cycle

I will be handling primary songwriting and vox

Lethe wants in on lead, and if I secure the Line 6 Helix, we’ll be able to quite easily set my pedal chain apart from his, so we can do wild rhythm stuff in the main conceptual release arc

Any 🐸 -> in our dissociative system may contribute as well, though none are forever obligated

#VoidReclamation

cc: @venya bass man

I love that we refer to @lethe ‘s Cry Baby Custom Badass Dual-Inductor Wah as having halo and Hell (fasel) modes

And I will stick to my 535q

Holy fuck this is gonna be good

Quoting / linking for the European and crews of other geographies.

Wild. I think this lot is pretty good at what we do. [gestures at shit]

Also new octave pedal.

#VoidReclamation EP is still coming along nicely. It’ll be ready when it’s ready.

#OakFuckabouts

Hell of a story, Venya and myself and any others in this lot willing will need a good decade to get it all out.

I've agonized greatly as to how to share our shared story and literally will never be pulled off again in any direction in external space-time gymnastics.

But at the end of the day, it's the same. Give a good shot at agency for those that do or don't wish to consume. The subject matter itself is the subject matter itself.

Best I can do. Not doing anything cheats others. Not sharing the story via the continuation of the Oak Song Cycle

cheats us

#VoidReclamation

Fucking about, finally happy to create some riffs rather than just let out some shall we call them angst-beasties of part-self.

Anyway. Starts quiet, if you listen don't crank it to 10 off the go or you'll end up with hearing like mine (unlikely)

Me and @pandora just pulling off dissociative switches while killriffing.

Wild. She's the less aggressive one it turns out.

So like what if #VoidReclamation but with synths?

@artemis @lethe @pandora @buddy @athena

#Metal #VitalSynth

Actually, could CW here and link and then with the subdomain restate CW and embed audio.

That is the likely power move for best agency and consent.

cc: @venya async fyi as I think this through

#VoidReclamation

Also going to quickly see if I can do DNS or other tricks to redirect to the lyrics page as well.

Informed consent but also agency are critical for these efforts.

For us as the storytellers and for any listening.

#VoidReclamation

Probs gonna drop a ‘Oaks United’ #VoidReclamation demo in a bit.

I’ll heavily CW it, but @venya put some polish on a full sonic onslaught contributed by 8 parts herein.

No bass no meaningful percussion, just oak onslaught.

Did not need it for the non-physical knife I thought I would, so let’s find another purpose for it while the lot keeps marching on with the intro EP being worked on.

It’s the pain medley linked before but with more involved. Warnings sent into the future…

[no cw lyrics]

No one but @venya and we oaks have a clue as to what will begin to be unleashed soon.

The man learned a few things in audio land.

More than a few. Far more than a few.

I'll withhold 11 of the 12 minutes of the most heat-seeking heart-seeking anything I've heard in my life, without him having gotten to bass or percussion sequencing yet.

The sonic bullet for piercing hearts.

Amor fati.

#VoidReclamation

Buckle the fuck up.

Also @lethe still knows how to sling a f'n guitar.

I feel like just heard a 12 minute distillation of the nightmare-void lived for almost 41 years.

And it’s still yet a demo.

A message of unity without our bass fiend even laying a single note of indulgent bass nor doing the percussion sequencing I want fuck all to do with.

But he did learn quite a few things in audio demigod school.

Vision united.

#VoidReclamation

Signed in sonic blood,
Oaks

Unity in vision.

Unity in message.

This is the sauce.

#VoidReclamation

cc: @venya

heh

Nothing final but we are getting there

#VoidReclamation

Note *not* shipping demos.

Fuck me did I get that domain? Chief tech officer @buddy, what’s going on here?

@artemis @lethe @athena

445a, can i get these bones going to go get breakfast and coffee?

Owl is at the kickball yard. Buddy is trying to maintain his 0.00 earned run average having intentionally walked the bases loaded in Many Such Kickball Fields.

Listening to the WIP @venya demos and this lot have put together so far.

Heh, yeah “deadly” was right.

Finally after 40y enjoying the present and now being awestruck by the increasing wonder each day brings.

Good shit is here. Better shit will come.

#VoidReclamation

Symbols. Not memory but pointers to memory.

I only had muscle memory for two songs. And clearly my vocals weren’t on any before because holy fuck heh

The litmus test was always, do I sound like one that only did fuck all in life except rush forward to take the worst of it?

Yeah, actually I do.

Because symbols, not academics are needed to instill the failures of so many along the way.

Dissociative plurality comes at a grave cost.

The two songs?

Voidtouched
Salvation

#VoidReclamation

By request, another WIP demo.

"Warlord"

Upstream CWs apply.

Drums are janky fillers and bass line is a draft, but a decent one.
