Out today on Evel Records: Dane Law "The Black Path"

A collection of pieces recorded in summer 2024 when I lived at the intersection of the boundary of the historic Danelaw and the Black Path, an ancient traders' route.

Max MSP controlled sampled guitar; the last solo album with those materials.

I wrote a combined sample reverse & pitchslide up/down command for my #UnrealEngine runtime tracker! (also optimised everything to hell - this tune inc DSP FX uses ~2% of my CPU budget and a ~500kb memory footprint - but who cares, jungle reeewind spinback is what I'm excited about) #gameaudio

Available on blender marketplace.

Hi I'm James (it's not technically Friday here now but am posting anyway) - working on a short music game called 🌀Dadda🌀 that has elements of folk horror & sci-fi built around an interactive noise score. Plan to release v soon on Steam.
