Esselfortium's music is some sort of unholy smorgasbord of breaks, drum and bass, hip hop, ambient, and IDM. A few of his major influences are Boards of Canada, Radiohead, Moby, and Joe Boyd Vigil.
Well, I liked it so much I just went ahead and bought another copy on iTunes, way back then. So whatever the problem was, it's solved now. Here's hoping you feel up to making some more music later on. Take care.
Sharkweek is proud to announce the launch of his new album, "Egyptian Lions".
The new album offers lush soundscapes punctuated with surreal samples, playful melodies and manipulated found sounds. The musical themes drift between ambient, pop and dub.
Spheres of inspiration include outerspace, all manner of pop culture, and infomercials. Musical influence comes from varied sources such as The Orb, Future Sound Of London, Orbital, Boards Of Canada, Lemon Jelly, Astralasia, and Banco de Gaia. This eclectic mix, coupled with some stellar guest appearances from other musicians makes for an evocative and sometimes surprising listening experience.
"A mystical journey through lands afar ... trippy soundscapes, psychedelic ambient dub, futuristic space adventures and glitchy electro pop .. an ear orgasm of sounds that twist and turn evolving into a collection of songs that is intriguing, beautiful and a dose of epic electro trippiness.

Hey, Essel. I **finally** got my copy of A Terrible Flood, now that I have money again. It. Is. FANTASTIC. No, really, it's incredible! I love it. It's great to pop this in my car stereo and let the bass slap against my clavicle or what have you!
...but therein lies a problem I've found: I can't play the album on anything but my car stereo or an old boom box of mine. That isto say, if I try to play it on my laptop, the computer treats it like a blank disc. Was this intended? It'd be great if I could listen to the album while I was at home as well, is all.
Anyway, hope you're doing well! Thanks for the amazing music!
Very nice music, my friend, very nice indeed. I particularly like the feeling of menace in "Table Rock Sunrise". ------------------------ Sharkweek - electro-ambient-pop that's simple yet dense, spacey without being formless, and humourous without being silly.
I really like this stuff on your page, and I've enjoyed your tracks you made for Doom. Both the remixes of the original soundtrack and the stuff for mods, its all good.

When I get on a faster connection I'll give your tracks a fuller listen. From what I can hear (which isn't much due to dialup and streaming audio being a bad mix) you've done really well.
