Very textured quiet electronics and fuzz layers. Maximal minimalism RIYL Taylor Dupree, Aidan Baker, Marcus Fischer

***1. (6:52) Shiny fuzz layers, noise layer, faint beeps, noise build into next track
*2. (4:24) Shimmering buzzy noise, deep and complex drone, ET alien beeping, abrupt end
3. (6:29) Skittery electronics, transmitter noise, time warp, shiny quiet feedback dissonant
4. (2:31) Dissonant shearing, quiet robot insects, quiet drone rocks back and forth
***5. (6:50) A big wash of fuzzy drone a la Aidan Baker (i will always and forever hold you in my heart and mind)
*6. (6:25) Slightly harsh fuzz, midrange buzz resolves into organ tone that decays into noise and drone, abrupt end
***7. (4:47) Disintegrating loops into a great swell of light filled noise drone
8. (3:55) Ringing static, low harmonic drone, very very quiet
*9. (5:37) Wintery ringing drone where the quiet feedback just feels like cold cold cold. I don't want to move back to where there is winter.
***10. (3:03) Shiny, shimmery electronica harmonium, drone waves
