hello fellow human beings: We put a few new tunes up so check them out and let us know what you think!

Its been a (long) bit since we've posted any kind of news, so we'd like to fill everyone in on whats going on with our latest projects and events.

We are also working on a sample cd for Galbanum, it will be in the Abstraction series- and feature around 500 loops of glitchy / abstract beats, atmospheres, melodies and other assorted goodies.

Additionally, and perhaps the most exciting bit of news, is that we are currently working on our full album release for Aleph Zero Records, currently slated for a winter release.

Lastly, we have an extensive gig schedule lined up for the summer touring through a range of club events and outdoor festivals. Check out what we've got coming up and come share these experiences with us! We still have some dates free so hit us up if your interested in booking us for an event..

Well... i’m back

Greetings to friends new and old, and to the friends that I have yet to meet!

It's been a few years since I have produced, performed, or even spoken to many of you. I want to say first of all that I hope you are all doing well and that life is good. In 2005 or so, I left the music scene very abruptly which i'm sure caused some general confusion and even rumours of the reasons why. It was a mixed set of reasons, and what I will generally say about it was that it was something that needed to be done. I do feel that an apology is owed, especially to all of my friends who I haven't talked to in quite awhile.

Musically, these last couple of years have been a time of reflection, and I nowadays I find myself much more open to all kinds of music. Expect to hear something different!

So to all of you, thank you for your support throughout the years and I look forward to hearing from all of you again.

Good Abominable Twitch news coming soon!

Good Init String news coming soon!

For the time being take a listen to Init String music

The Great Mundane designed the sound in motion to the immaculate graphic intro for The Motion Graphic Festival 2008. Lift Motion Design and Creative Chaos created the astounding intro video. View the video and case study HERE

The inspiration came from the integration of several creative practices at this year's festival, which focuses on motion design, sound design and motion programming. Production, costuming, and makeup were done at Foundation Post and the piece was edited by Matthew Glover. Adobe After Effects was used for almost all the animating and compositing. The final edit was done in Final Cut Pro and the audio composition was created in Ableton Live. The final piece will play before a live audience at each of the 4 motion graphics screenings at the festival: Stash's Commercial Art screening, Lumen Eclipse's Video Art screening, the Art in Motion screening, and the Conscious Motion screening.

"It was wonderful to have the opportunity to collaborate with other motivated and talented artists. I really do not think this project would have been possible with out each individuals passion and dedication to do what they love. And that love is responsible for the drive to follow through on the never ending quest for perfection to create a positive final product." from Jeffrey Acciaioli (The Great Mundane, Composer/Sound Designer -- Psymbolic--sounds)

Really good Gift Culture news coming soon!

For the time being take a listen to Temple at Dawn

The perfect morning and night slips through this articulate alloy for the soul. Gift Culture resonates a titillating mixture of worldly and astral sounds. Both iterate within each other, producing centered dreams of reality.
