Experimental Projects

Over the years I have dabbled in some sound alchemy, from drones to ambient forays, these are the more experimental side of my explorations. The “Apocryphal sound ritual” mokier seemed appropriate, being at once a pun on the current internet hype over the mysteries and a nod to the self indulgent nature of experimental music.

When I was a kid I remember vividly, then, Walter Carlos’ monumental classic “Switched-on bach”. Which began my life long obsession over the synthesizer. With the spirit of that in mind my path was clear. This one is for Wendy Carlos… Your awesome.

It began on a laptop

The music here reflects a spirit of experimentation and freedom. Wormsign was born of improvisation. Music is an expression of a moment. These are the moments frozen in time. These are works of great personal significance.

The sleeper has awakened.

Wormsign is the recorded output of G.B.Young and friends as he plums the depths of his subconscious and brings back recordings.
