Repeal compulsion Datura 1.0/Cordell Klier collaboration - free download
New Datura 1.0 Cordell Klier Collaboration Out Now at darkwinter.com; free download at this url; http://www.darkwinter.com/dw044.html The blurb at darkwinter describes it best:
First, take a sound artist with a reputation for being very expansive towards his work while wielding an uncompromising sophistication with his overall vision. Next, take the counter cultured irreverence of a long standing veteran of the American noise scene, mostly known for his "less is more" approach, yet with a sound so vehement, most audience members leave from inner ear blood clots. Now, get them in the same gallery space, and force them at gunpoint to make a world-class ambient noise release. Well my dear listeners consider yourself lucky; this bar raising achievement will make you chortle with fluid enthusiasm. Finally, wrap it all up with a striking cover piece by the up-&-coming Minneapolis abstract artist Autumn Dulian, "Repeal compulsion" is one fine piece of ambient noise. Two greats, equals one amazing selection.
Subtle in all it's complexities, and yet over the top in it's structure. Their approach is simple, calculated, strict and precise. This collaboration between Datura 1.0 & Cordell Klier is no doubt one of the bleakest - and coldest - releases both artists have ever conspired to achieve. Justly stated: "Repeal Compulsion" is sexy as hell.

Datura 1.0 vs Slutmachine: Alien Cranial Vivisection - FREE DOWNLOAD
Free full length downloadable album at darkwinter.com
"Alien Cranial Vivisection" was recorded by Datura 1.0 and Slutmachine in the Summer of 1897 using equipment salvaged from crashed flying saucers, a carrot and some face-plate insertion technical manuals delivered to the side door by a blind Mexican Praying Mantis trainer. No flying squirrels were harmed in the making of this recording. Bicycle seats were painted with gold metal flake paint in the Olde Tyme Way, ground to a fragrant powder and then inserted backwards into a Flugelhorn while reciting the lyrics to "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" into a temporal vortex manufacturing calibrator.Because "Rhinoceros eggs are as good as a Chimpanzee in a knife-fight". Datura 1.0 and Slutmachine endorse but do not use radio-active injection molded barn destroyer modules.

Oepening: In the winter be aware of trying to help others who do not deserve or want help, the bastards will turn like rabid dogs, turn your love to poison, cowards with no honor and no skill in battle the physicality was the catharsis the weapon against the mind forces aligned there.
Psychologie: The mind turned against the body, make no mistakes to suffer for altruism, the rug is in danger of being pulled out. there is no support system. The begining turns to dark forces for protection stresses mount to ludicrous levels invisibility might be an option align the sigils with electronic means/ meaningfulness.
Alchymie: The use of the machine and/defects seems to make things worse/better. Spasms, chest pain, Digestion a deep pit of horror opens every day to swallow (focus on hatred physical violence against/and boodletting that could be if they came out from their sniper cover) as the jackals close in revealing their nature a bowl of squirming poisonous maggots beneath a sour smile staring in could be the worst thing to do trying to fight back/not fight back FIGHTING
Chymistrie: (or Armour) Kick in aeternities of sheer terror computers and software and ecstacy the world peeled back to reveal a swooping beautiful bird of prey ripping the soul apart. Massive clouds speak the horribly beautiful voice of God reconstructing the real priorities a process a swelling soothing balance the forces revealed as tiny mites burrowing beneath the skin not titans they have no power your mother is dead and nothing can touch you in the final stages of adulthood.
Cloesing: The Sun returns and Prior ties shift changed forever weary and wary for a fray, let them destroy themselves with their own character flaws. change does not change death advises to dream more thouroughly live less seriously.

Happy Hell - download only
Happy Hell was meant to evoke the strange world of denial most of us find ourselves in day to day, a world of drudgery and routine instilled and maintained by eons of unconscious human thought control training. And also the strange and elusive world of the “Other” which few of us will ever actually experience due to our strict regimental ways of perceiving. We are living in Hell but put on our happy faces because after all this is the only world we have ever known.
I have attempted to evoke both the horror of the curtain of the world of dross and simultaneously a glimpse behind that curtain.
Happy Hell was recorded “live”, Performed on laptop computer in real time and recorded directly to another computer’s hard drive. No special editing and no special effects were added during the final mixdown and production.

Datura 1.0 Self titled debut
This was the first full length disc, it was composed mostly with self generated samples as well as samples of animals, notably insects. This was the begining of my trip down the digital music rabbit hole, before I began using circuit bent and traditional instruments. This is all computer. Strangely listening to this now it seems more traditionally "musical" than what I've developed since. This work is long out of print as a cd and only available as a Download.
