FUTURE CONSPIRACIES is a collection of tracks written between 2004 and 2008 that follow more of an RPM approach than much of the earlier Dr Nigel material. All tracks are uptempo (125bpm+) with the exception of the half-time numbers "Lisa's Song", and "Faults".
DR NIGEL'S DOWNTEMPO DUBS was written between '04 and '06, and released (printed and distributed) during the summer of '06. The album reflects a streetsmart, soulful edge, embracing elements of trip-hop, illbient and deep dubby bass.
DIABOLIK - ILL DEVICES came about as a reaction to my revelation of dubstep music. I used FL Studio to create beats up around 138-140, with similar break patterns I'd been feeling with dubstep. I added ambient backdrops to a few tracks (e.g. 'Mineralz') to pull away from the frantic nature of the beat and yield a more evocative undernote.
SEEING IN SQUARES was the first printed EP release of Dr Nigel. 1,000 copies were produced and distributed by various means. The tracks reflect varied styles but carry a common flavor: narrative electronica. Many of the tracks suggest the need for visual accompaniment, considering the presence of found sound, ambient backgrounds and choices of tone and timbre.
SOCIOLOGY EXPERIMENT was the first planned Dr Nigel LP release. The music continues the occasionally-off-kilter nature of 2003's 'Isolated', but in a slightly different direction. Much of the album is derived from found sound - samples gathered from a pocket recorder & layered into a recording.
