Ukko (2019)

Alcohol is a hell of a drug, it can cause a person to do strange things. In addition to becoming an M.F.A. (that is, a "Mighty Fine American"), when you're an artist, it can make you think material you did for one project would be better off somewhere else.
So you start to move things around, creating 'sub-projects' on a whim just because you think it might be better represented in a different way.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's really not that important, because out of the five people who've heard it, three said it sucked, one person liked it, and the last had no opinion.

What does make the music done with this project unique though, is that it is all basically a purge. It's literally a purging of bitterness, anger, love, regret, disillusion, dejection, and a thousand other descriptives ending in the same suffix.
It's all a mystery, wrapped up in an illusion, packaged in misdirection, and sent out to nowhere. I just had to get rid of it, and get the material off my hard-drive, and out of my system. How'd that work out, you ask? Meh... I guess it's better than it was beforehand.

The music was all created in a DAW. Originally, it was put under Wednes, or at least one or two albums were, each under different titles (one was called "Hate Synth," that much I remember). I threw some old vocal tracks over it, and made a 'new' project out of it: Ukko (named after the Finnish high god Ukko, equivalent of the Nordic Thor, and Sami Horagalles).

Don't let the fact that it was made in a DAW throw you off though, there's some soaring themes in this music, and it's pretty raw. Raw DAW. Eesh...  Whatever.

Only the Mediafire links available for these, and the files are in .wav, sorry about that.
