CrrYxiA (2008-2010)


Crryxia (stylized "CrrYxiA") is a name I put four or five albums under, back in 2010.

The first of these albums was created in 2008 under the name "Tecnal-C," in reference to the prescription analgesic medication of the same name, containing a mix of codeine, butalbitol (a barbiturate), aspirin and caffeine.
Back then, isolated as I was from the rest of society in mind and spirit, I had never heard of downtempo electronica up to that point. Had no idea it even existed. So, getting high on downers for the first time in my life (until that point I had only smoked weed, used alcohol, mushrooms and LSD) in order to cope with depression and a blossoming anxiety problem, and between viewings of "A Scanner Darkly," I decided to craft this album.
I guess it would be IDM, or Downtempo, but back when I made it, I referred to it as "downtronica."


The other three (or four?) albums were composed in a single night in 2010, while under the influence of ketamine.



"Declassified: 2008-2010" contains all of the albums previously mentioned, in one package.
  • Tecnal-C (tracks 1-6)
  • Disco 2012 (tracks 7-10)
  • Lunar Magnetic EP (tracks 11-12)
  • O'Rlyeh? (tracks 13-? read below comment, it also applies here) 
  • Digital Winter (tracks ?-? I'm not even sure if this album is there, but it should be)
Oh well, good enough for now.

βαρ†ιστ chvrch (2015)

βαρ†ιστ chvrch was another excursion into electronic subgenre experimentation. Basically, I really wanted to try doing some Witch House, and this is what happened. I used the name 'Baptist Chvrch' because my wife and I, along with some other brethren, had all stopped going to a certain IFB church at the same time.
We ended up half-forming a small home-church gathering, and tongue-in-cheek references to the 'Baptist Church' were not uncommon.

Not surprisingly, I didn't put too much thought into the project name. It's basically used sarcastically, as a bit of joking commentary on how we viewed the Baptst denomination at that time, as basically embodying every negative thing they say about Catholics, but unable to realize it.




$alt Poi$oning - simply me trying my hand at Witch House music, with a strange quasi-religious slant. Actually, I guess it's not so strange, considering the genre. The title refers to a method of abortion.


Untitled - A bit of a mix between Witch House and Black Metal, although there are no guitars on this album whatsoever. I've often thought of putting this album under a more suitable project, but I guess it is more easily recognizable under this project. If I were to move it, out of the 5 people in the world who heard it, the two of them who liked it wouldn't be able to find it. So, with them in mind, I leave it.... 
...until I move it.
