Tangent Precipitate

A solo experimental project, of usually improvised music of different forms. Tangent Precipitate journeyed through a broad range of music production techniques and genres. Generally albums had an emphasis on the capture of the raw and unpredictable creative moment. Tangent Precipitate has been retired, and further music is now produced as the Unknown Rockstar and as Tangent.

	Driven by a private compulsion that threatens to overwhelm him The moods, shades and places of the feedback drone interactions of three guitars explored, drawn into slow movement, complexity and drive.
	The Dream Country This recording is deeply hypnotic, a miasma of huge pulses, a slow moving raft of shimmering tones.
	1989-everything An involved journey through a series of sound/psychic/sample spaces.
	Post-movement Pulsing sine drones, databending, and other less and more abrasive noise.
	Outside the Inside An album of keyboard/organ music. The first and third tracks are live recordings of a Hammond, and the second track is "...a live recording of keyboard through delay, played with a mind for interlocking/interweaving figures and exploring overtones - i find that listening to it intently sets me in powerful trance states."
	Destroying His Name Electronics and cutups. The title track uses Dada techniques of running two vocal tracks against each other.
	Lines of Fire CD of hand diced improvised remixes of material by Tangent Precipitate and from other sources. Could be called <a href="http://www.plunderphonics.com/">Plunderphonics</a> improvised in real-time.
	Interpreted Forceful electronic music, and brute-force sampling.
	Do This Do This is an album with tracks in a mixture of styles. Do This itself is a collection of samples. Some of the other tracks are made up of samples, such as I Spent My Night, which is a free jazz cutup. There is also some electronic music, and a track of keyboard music, I Spent My Day.
	Within the range of hearing A mixture of sample based styles, some sequenced, some more abstract. Wood, Brass, Nylon Part 2 (Reclining Remix) is a very beautiful remix of a guitar track from an earlier Tangent Precipitate album.
	Elevated states of consciousness A variety of electronic and sample based music, from the rhythmically beautiful simplicity of Elevated States of Consciousness #001 to the more power electronic sample destroying sound of The Way.
	Disturbed Bits 010 Disturbed Bits is a series of long pieces of beautiful and intense power electronics. They investigate the ability of the juxtaposition of treated loops of different varieties to create resultant sounds that are different in character from the source material, perhaps "greater than the sum of its parts" as it were. The second set of five use pure granular superimposition to build tracks, with a different approach to most users of granular synthesis.
	Disturbed Bits 009 Disturbed Bits is a series of long pieces of beautiful and intense power electronics.

	Broken Aesthetic An album of electronic and electro-accoustic music. Ranges for more chilled out pieces such as the static meditation of Tuning Into Your Own Frequency to the full overdriven loops sound of Broken Aesthetic.
	Wood, Brass, Nylon Eight part album of improvised acoustic guitar music. A favourite of many.
	Dark adult pleasures, snake music, magic garden A whole variety of pieces electronic and acoustic, rhythmic and freeform, progress through a series of moods.
	Disturbed Bits 005 Disturbed Bits is a series of long pieces of beautiful and intense power electronics. They investigate the ability of the juxtaposition of treated loops of different varieties to create resultant sounds that are different in character from the source material, perhaps "greater than the sum of its parts" as it were. The first five work the power of running sounds over top of themselves to bring out certain interesting and powerful parts of them, long and involved explorations.
	Disturbed Bits 004 Disturbed Bits is a series of long pieces of beautiful and intense power electronics.

	Communication is an Illusion More treated looping samples, with an acoustic guitar interlude, capture a poor emotional state better than was understood at the time the album was written.
	The Martian Canals A continuous piece/suite, an evolving enchanting pulsing soundscape.
	Failed Perpetual Motion Machines Drones and loops, acoustic instruments, rock influences, and paranoia.
