Below the thunders of the upper deep, Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea, His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee About his shadowy sides; above him swell Huge sponges of millennial growth and height; And far away into the sickly light, From many a wondrous grot and secret cell Unnumbered and enormous polypi Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green....

The Midnight Sound Train by Krakenkraft

I took https://soundcloud.com/winterer/prison-of-rlyeh and glitched multiple instances of it in Gleetchlab 404: Glitch 1. I Took the result and saved it as MP3 with 16 kps stereo and 8 kbps joint, which sometimes destroyed the original very much: Glitch 2. To have moments where the initial glitch remains evident and untarnished I layered and sliced these three tracks. So what you hear is a mix of...

This time a more emotional approach: a collage of field recordings with a lot of fx, no other sound sources.

We just don't recognize it, surely for ma...

Production notes: This Honeymoon gets nasty… Last week I shot some used cheap guitar effect pedals on ebay (Donner Pearl Tremor, Eno XT-RV10 Reverb, Donner Time Wave, Behringer Vintage Delay). For this track I used them altogether. Everything you hear comes out of the effect chain – with no input. Especially the two delays, mainly the Behringer VD 400, which I bought used for around 13 bucks, are...

My friend https://soundcloud.com/peter-hostermann built a mobile piezo preamp for recording sounds directly into my Zoom H1n. For this disquiet, I tried to record stones. But trying to get sound out of stones turned out to be futile. They may sound, but not as "stones" (whatever I expected stones to sound…). Nevertheless I added my favourite Riviera Hyper-Room Reverb VST in different tracks of rec...

I added two cheap echo pedals to my setup, when suddenly this sound occurred. I tried to find the source of the noise, but it was not one of the new pedals. And when I found the MultiFX module from the AE modular was self-resonating out of nothing, I decided not to stop, but to listen. This is the abbreviated record on two tracks mixed with VST FX, one with phaser and some reverb, the other one wi...

Zona Militare by Krakenkraft

"There was a mind from the planet we know as Venus, which would live incalculable epochs to come, and one from an outer moon of Jupiter six million years in the past. Of earthly minds there were some from the winged, star-headed, half-vegetable race of palaeogean Antarctica; one from the reptile people of fabled Valusia; three from the furry pre-human Hyperborean worshippers of Tsathoggua; one fro...

"… despite all I have done it remains an humiliating fact that I cannot find the house, the street, or even the locality, where, during the last months of my impoverished life as a student of metaphysics at the university, I heard the music of Erich Zann." -- H.P.Lovecraft

"The place was dark and dusty and half-lost In tangles of old alleys near the quays, Reeking of strange things brought in from the seas, And with queer curls of fog that west winds tossed." -- H.P. Lovecraft

AO by Krakenkraft

"Now that I am trying to tell what I saw I am conscious of a thousand maddening limitations. Things seen by the inward sight, like those flashing visions which come as we drift into the blankness of sleep, are more vivid and meaningful to us in that form than when we have sought to weld them with reality." -- H.P.Lovecraft Image based on Public Domain image https://pixabay.com/de/meer-schwarz-und-...

"The region was putrid with the carcasses of decaying fish, and of other less describable things which I saw protruding from the nasty mud of the unending plain." -- H.P.Lovecraft Image based on Public Domain Image https://pixabay.com/de/schlamm-vulkanismus-vulkanisch-hei%C3%9F-85/ from Simon.

"There’s an ancient, ancient garden that I see sometimes in dreams, Where the very Maytime sunlight plays and glows with spectral gleams…" -- H.P.Lovecraft

This sound cluster is easily detectable with the naked ear and has been known since antiquity. It was first recorded by the Greek-Roman astronomer Ptolemy, who listened to this nebula in 130 AD.
