The Isolation Sessions (REMASTERED)

ISOLATION (REMASTERED)

This is the original track opened up and remastered. This version is exactly how I meant it to be heard when I mixed and mastered in the studio in 2019 only to have the process of distribution and compression fuck it up. In this version the bass surrounds you, instead of being lost and crushed down to an audible, you can feel it in this version. The overdriven sound is allowed to breath, and there is depth in-between with a clear midrange, you can detect the space compared to the original. I’ve gotten messages on how this piece has served as a meditative tool for some of you. This version will be even more immersive on just about any system you play it on.

ISOLATION: THE MALEFIC POSSESSION I & II

These tracks were produced originally to be one complete track. even though it flows very smoothly, each half was significantly very different from one another.In an effort to no longer have long intros & “get to the intensity quicker” in my music, I didn’t want make someone have to sit through the pure sadness and sorrow of PT. 1 to get to the madness and intense chaos of PT. 2. So I split them… right at the key change. Engineering this one produced 77 individual instrument tracks of sounds designed & (Tesah’s voice samples)…then had to be rendered in chunks & spliced together all in 24bit resolution at a 96Khz sample rate.  See below the Track Analysis on how they're different musically.

LIVE DEMO

The definition of "Live Demo" as it pertains to this particular version is basically me playing live on the keyboard using the sampled vocal sounds with no pre written material, what you are hearing here is me writing the track in real time on a first time run. I almost always have the tape rolling when I'm writing because I never know what might come out. This was one of those moments on a cold January afternoon in 2019. After I played what you hear, I realized that was the piece... it's done... the rest was just production.

There is no leveling here of anything... only some compression and limiting to make it even, but what you hear is unprocessed for the most part. This track is 3 minutes & 56 seconds, and that's how long it took to write the track. Even though the final production is 4:14.
