axisaxis:

Rough work - recording stuff before I leave tomorrow, mixing on the train.

Really really haunting, I love it

Though you’re going to want to mess with that one thumping percussive element a bit, it sits over the mix a bit way too much and I honestly thought it was clipping when it first came in.

yeah these are literally just straight recordings with a bit of reverb, ain’t nothin’ near put together properly yet, just exported while I was doing the same with the clean stems

Experimenting with typography, which I’ll most likely apply to later album covers (as well as a well-needed blog redesign).

Here I’m trying to reduce letters to their main signifying traits - stripping back what I can whilst still keeping each character identifiable, all the while restricting myself to a set of rules to create a sense of uniform amongst the scattered, segmented letterforms. Still experimenting with the rest of the alphabet.

Not designed for quick, accessable readability, but created as an observation of how each letter is constructed - analysing what exactly makes each one unique.

What would people feel about seeing a sort of video diary as I put some of this EP together?

Making more breakcore - tons of fun. Gonna layer in some organic instruments later, just did this much on the train home.

not really levelled properly or anything yet so enjoy the crackly sounds. Just having fun at the end of a stressful week.

Your art, music and thoughts are incredibly inspiring. I'm so glad I found your work.

Weird + cool method to create ambient/noise sounds using air travelling through though a tiny gap to fill a compressed space. Using this to stock up my glitch sample library at the moment.

Unfinished track - still got to add vocals, guitars and get the whole thing levelled properly, but at the moment I’m just having fun making some house.

i heard some stories that you were thinking of putting out physical releases and if that's still a thing that's happening then i am def. interested in grabbing one!

Definitely! I was originally thinking of making one for the EP with Uncertain, but I’ve got to get back into mindset for that one, because I haven’t made any new material on it for a while.

I’ll definitely be putting one out for the WXXF EP, which I’ll probably do one or 2 new tracks on and try to grab a remix off a friend. I’ve found a company which does lush cases and can print some booklets, so I might include a selection of illustration, who knows.

AxisAxis - Restraint

Out of sight, out mind, out of reach
Out of love, love to fear, learn to teach
Myself restraint

AxisAxis - VHS レースウェイ

Channeling a lot of my childhood/early influences - Crash Bandicoot, Forgettable JRPGS, Hideki Naganuma, and lining up my dad’s video cassette collection into a racetrack.

New headphones are on the way, which means I should be looking into finishing the 4-track EP with Uncertain fairly soon and hopefully trying my hand at putting together some physical releases of it.

I’m mainly considering for the sake of practice in packaging design, so copies will be limited if the project goes ahead - give me a shout if you feel like grabbing one!

The first thing I’ve made in a month or two that I don’t instantly hate.

Very early test export. Leveled on bad £15 earbuds until my new headphones arrive so forgive any sloppy mixing.

Found out about your music a while ago, but I am starting to get more into it, and I'm really digging your style. Those last few pictures you posted are really really awesome!

Thank you very much! I’m hoping to get some new stuff finished in the next few months so keep an eye out :>
