Wellington’s own turntablist-extraordinaire, Alphabethead, has some brand new goods for your listening pleasure!

“This is the third song in my series of bleak and foreboding tone poems. Escalation III takes place in deep space. No encounters with alien life; just the cold temperatures, bombardment by ultraviolet light and radiation-related anomalies causing malfunctions; both human and technical. Sci Fi cinema has taught us there is nothing quite as ominous as a spacecraft breaking down outside our solar system!

It should come as no surprise that my drones and synthetic sounds are inspired by John Carpenter’s film scores. I’d kill to have a copy of The Thing with only the dialog and foley sounds; that way I could re-imagine the entire soundtrack! The source material for this video is from the 1974 John Carpenter film “Dark Star”.”
