Samples mashed, looped, noisey at times lots of disjunct extremism with ambient washes thrown in too. Great stuff.

1) chill creepy gated reverb/backwards effects to start, builds into blippy madness
2) chill ambient space wash which is shattered after 2.5 minutes with scathing crazy noise
3) nice noise drone to start, gives way to low rumble, then lots of changes, blips, a study in experimental/noise extremism
4) strange low tone manipulation, mostly chill
5) blippy electro tones, loops
6) total broken cd player skipping glitch art
7) chill low toned with subtle chill blippiness
8) sample collage, scronky sax, etc
9) slow looping evolution starts low quiet, builds in a mean loud way
10) spastic violin squeaky bowing, pretty crazy, like the soundtrack to a total cocaine/meth freak out
11) some beautiful ambient washes, get juxtaposed by some good noise
12) rhythmic noise loop fade in, grows difficult, glitchy almost
13) almost a ring tone repeating, challenging, annoying
14) swirling noise
15) blippy sparse
16) metallic, gutteral
17) good wall of noise intensity
18) blippy spastic all over
