new album out on my bandcamp. The link will explain everything. The first of several releases to come out this year, some of which I am in the process of sending to various American (and I think one or two European) labels to see if they’re interested. Fingers crossed!
bomb shelter boogie (pat and chris collab)
Patrick Dolan (bass) and Chris Robertson (keyboards). This jam was spontaneous and I was using Pat’s casio so I didn’t have any of my pedals on me :( I still think it turned out pretty good, though.
gutter dreams (pat and chris collab)
Patrick Dolan (guitar) and Chris Robertson (keyboards). This jam was spontaneous and I was using Pat’s casio so I didn’t have any of my pedals on me :( I still think it turned out pretty good, though.
Finally got around to making some bandcamps. I have a lot of experimental improv post-rock noise ambient whatever stuff I’m gonna upload to the Mythshifter bandcamp above. One album, ‘Emanations From The Star Pyramid’, is already uploaded there. I will also be creating a Xylen Roberts bandcamp soon and a few new albums (and some old ones) will be given away there though I am saving a few albums to send off to various labels in a week or so. Anyway, enjoy.

xylen roberts-becoming the virus
one spends their whole life making the shirt that you throw away
one spends their whole life making sure an indifferent world is a-ok
one spends their whole life eating whats right just to contact food poisoning
one spends their whole life
a new breed of malaria, conditioned fear and hysteria
efficient lives so meta-meta, increasingly smaller smaller
becoming the virus, a host that eats its own body
becoming the virus, a host that attacks its own body
nanonuts and nanite dust, in our trust funds we now trust
saving all our hard earned cash as erosion eats away the Earth’s crust
becoming the virus, a host that its own body
becoming the virus, a host that attacks its own body
you always say how great it is to be blessed
as if we know something that the cursed don’t know
becoming the virus etc.
to me it seems more like matters of circumstance,
to me it seems like matters of chance
becoming the virus etc.
virus on the prowl moving ever steadfast
digitized sprawl collapsin’ the first last
jelly on the toast continental breakfast
matter eating matter, matter killing matter
matter mating with matter, mind over matter
its all matter in the end, it don’t matter in the end
its all matter in the end, it don’t matter in the end
oh baby let’s get real raw
and roll around on the dirty ground (repeat)
we built this city on a sturdy foundation of dirt and worms
we keep killing the bugs, they keep coming back
we built this city on a sturdy foundation of contradictions
we keep imprisoning the thugs, they keep coming back
we made our beds of dirt upon a single Earth
it’ll be around long after the last serfs die fightin’ over this or that turf
sometimes you’re born in the summer air,
sometimes with the sand that clogs your throat
sometimes you’re born with one little goat,
sometimes you’re born with the whole Greek coast
sometimes you get enough rope to hang yourself
sometimes we can boast about whose choking faster
sometimes we win the war, sometimes we’re toast (repeat)

composition for contact micd and plastic rattled piano
just what it says—-I put plastic on the inside of my Wurlitzer piano, pressing up against some of the strings, then taped a contact mic to them and fed the piano through an effects pedal.
Xylen Roberts-Ghost Skin Shining
Just got a Bloggie recently. Films in HD. Anyway, here’s one of many videos made recently. Had a few melodic ideas and the lyrics were made up on the spot.
