Xmas 2011

Under The Avalanche : Christmas 2011 is out today. It features a new track by myself. Working on this track made me work on a new album which hopefully will be out in 2012 before or on time for Apocalypse! :-)

Seriously: check the comp, it's free and available in your favourite format (FLAC, MP3, ...).

Thanks to Lukas Lunden for putting this together.

Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

It's on

As posted earlier, garlic.wav is now on Bandcamp: http://garlicwav.bandcamp.com
Already two releases there. You might want to bookmark it as I plan on posting more unreleased music.

All tracks are "pay what you want". Don't be shy and put 0 Euros: I'm not doing this to earn money (and the few euros I could eventually make will be reinvested in music toys).

Bandcamp account

I've signed up for a Bandcamp account this morning.
There's nothing to download yet, but this is what should appear sooner or later:

- my live set from 2008
- an EP of unreleased tracks
- an album of unreleased remixes
- a new album/live set

October 2011 News

Last summer I reworked [P.U.T]'s "It Ain't Gonna Be Fun". The boys recorded their 5th album last weekend and this track, with my beat sequence and guitar take, will be included.
I should also contribute a remix for them. Nico sent me the rough mixes. I just need to listen to them and pick a track. They've sent me over a lot of demos during the writing process, I even sent some ideas. It should be a very heavy record!

The musicians from the Avalanchers Forum have started working on a new Xmas compilation. I must say I wasn't really thinking about participating after last year's experience. But then I started to play around with some beats, bass noise and samples, even worked out a track name ("No Xmas For Cthulhu")... and decided I should contribute again! Even better, after 2 days of work, I realised I should work on an album!

I've spent so much time on my other alias (i.Dieresis) over last year that it was benefitial for garlic.wav. I realised that the thing I'm still very happy with is the recording of my first and only gig in Brussels from 2008. So I've decided to work on a new set on the basis of that new track and I must say that it's building up quickly! So it's going to be some bass heavy improvisation at 70 bpm with a Dub/Dubstep/Dark Hop orientation, recorded live with maybe a few guitar overdubs, and automation fine tune here and there.
Good thing is that if someone is crazy enough to ask me for a live gig, I will be ready!

As always, stay tune for more.

Monster Eaters

Monster Eaters is a multimedia fun project  for which I've done a remix. It was first released as a limited edition CDR something like 6 or 7 years ago. It's now available for your downloading pleasure here.
Guess what? It's free! So you won't lose anything else but your time ;-)

From this session, I had worked on a second remix (for the track "La Radioactivité") but it never saw the light of day. Most probably it will be on that comp of remixes I talked about previously and that I will release this year (probably by the end of may as I will have 3 weeks of vacation during that period).

It's Xmas again! (or already?)

the Avalanchers Xmas comp has been re-compiled, remastered, re-artworked, and re-uploaded! So it's there again for your pleasure. Again, it's free, so be curious  and give it a try.
Enjoy.


In other news, my contribution to next [P.U.T] has been appreciated (guitars added to a track composed by LiB.) Next step will be sequencing a new version of "It Ain't Gonna Be Fun". We feel we never recorded the ultimate version of this one, and it would be nice to give it what it deserves: a total war version! :-)
Stay tuned!

New garlic.wav remix available for free

I remixed a track from [P.U.T]'s last album "The End".
It's called "Wake Up In The Water (Cthulhu Dub)" and it's title says, it's quite dubby! :-)

Other remixes by NE555 and Rune are real fine. Hope you'll enjoy it. It's free, so it's easy to give it a try!

I realize I have produced more remixes than personal tracks since my last demo (which was released in... 2006!). I'm thinking about unleashing a compilation of these remixes. Stay tuned for more info soon.

I'm also trying to be part of [P.U.T]'s next album writing process. Not as easy as I hoped when it comes to adding guitar's to LiB's stange beat signature! While waiting for newer versions of the files, I think I'll submit them a Jungle / Punk / Noise track I've been jamming on. If they like it, fine, otherwise it will most likely become an i.Dieresis track.
Again, stay tuned for more soon.

Happy New Year: let's get it started in here!

2010 was a very busy year! I didn't find time to update this blog but found time to work on some new tunes. Below is my track for the Avalanchers Xmas comp. The comp has been up during a week or so and unfortunately was taken down by the guy who had done all the mastering, artwork, etc... Don't want to comment why this happened but it feels like a big mess and not exactly in the Xmas spirit... Anayway! Hopefully it will be back with a different artwork, mastering etc... soon! In the meantime: here's my contribution. Even if it plays in the same playground as my previous work (heavy beats + bass with some simple melody thrown in), I feel it's quite different. Hope you like it.



Myspace has turn into a piece of shit and I just hate it. This Blogger account could become the official source of informations about garlic.wav and my other aliases. Stay tuned.
