      1. Heat Death by Paul Griffin

        The movement in this piece from loud to quiet had me thinking of entropy and the heat death of the universe, which sounds downright peaceful these days.

      2. DNDND by C. Circo

        This track was inspired by our diabolical dystopian dreamscape. Also, it is my first January track for 2025. The track should be pronounced as each individual letter D - N - D - N - D

        Messing around with a piano sample and a field recording from the Copenhagen metro, going 1 stop from Frederiksberg Allé to Frederiksberg.

      5. Riffle by Paul Griffin

        I wanted to do something a little less overtly ominous sounding than some of my other tracks so far. The main sound is a patch I built with a couple of wavetables, mangled up with the zoia.

      2. Electrocution by Traiken

        Taken from: jamuary 2025

        Played bass and guitars; programmed the rest in Reason. After working out the foundation (bass and drums), I wanted to try some different things on top, reaching outside the ever-changing key here and there.

      3. Inexorable by Paul Griffin

        Taken from: jamuary 2025

        This began with that first strange roaring sound, and slowly became a vision of an enormous clockwork automaton, wreaking destruction and terror as it plods, horrifying and unstoppable

      4. Skating on the South Bank (Day 2) by Xylander

        Taken from: jamuary 2025

        I didn't have much time to work on this so it's not much more than a loop really. I started with a field recording I made of some skateboarders on London's South Bank recently. I chopped that all up to make a percussive loop and then added the synths before layering on a break beat that I chopped up. I stopped with the clock struck midnight but I like the vibe so might come back to this at some point.

      5. approaching wave by this occasional society

        Taken from: jamuary 2025

        today didn't 'flow' - i felt i was grasping for something and couldn't connect. if i hadn't been doing this for jamuary, I'd have abandoned it to either come back to another day or just pursue another idea, but the process is the process.
        onwards!

      6. numinous by this occasional society

        Taken from: jamuary 2025

        the prompt was in G and slowing down from 130bpm.

        I don't know how the saw sound ended up like a twangy guitar but I rolled with it.

        the title doesn't have any significance - I just picked the word at random from a list.
