Today at noon PST I did an hour long set on CiTR's annual 24 Hours of Radio Art, in which I debuted my series of short compositions, The Maqlu Tarot.
22 short compositions loosely inspired from meditating on the 22 cards of the Major Arcana of the Tarot, designed to be played at random to see what it evokes.
Sonically it ranges from mutilated spoken word and distorted guitar to lovely little MIDI brass compositions to carefully arranged birdsong samples that almost sound plausibly natural to pseudo-club 1990s industrial.
The Maqlu Tarot is available as a free download from my website (a .zip of all 22 MP3s) or you can grab individual tracks off my last.fm profile.
This is the order in which they were played on 24 Hours of Radio Art. The randomization was set by putting the tracks on shuffle through an iTunes playlist.
