The Transient

About the Album

This album won’t stop at just melting your face. It’ll melt your skull until your brain is exposed, and then it’ll attach itself to your gray matter like a wonderful, warmth-providing parasite. But this parasite doesn’t want to control you. It wants to free you.

Psychedelic explorations meet rock and metal guitars and drums that hide the subliminally encoded sounds to make your brain vibrate at exactly 462 Hz before ramping to 724 and then back down to 231—the exact combination to crack open your consciousness like a vault. Each track creates its own atmosphere while guiding you on a journey through weird mindscapes and memories.

“The Transient” was conceived as a sonic companion to the final chapter of Dane’s surreal memoir Deathbed Revelations.

This music is best with eyes closed and headphones on. Layered textures, unexpected harmonies, and cinematic progressions create an immersive experience.

How This Came to Be

In 1996, I had a psychedelic experience that I was unable to explain to anyone. I didn’t even know how to understand it, myself. So I made several attempts to describe it by way of fiction. A myth to convey the ineffable.

It was decades before I took my disparate writings, along with some scraps of autobiography, and weave it all into a complex, multilayered story I published as *Deathbed Revelations.

This album is the score for that book—specifically, the final chapter.
