		<description><![CDATA[...preached at the altar of decay, of course. One to start the festive season. Guitars tuned to B - not in the direction you'd associate with using a capo.
Further sonic manglings are catered for by the Elektron SID station and bass guitar thumping. A quick burst of energy-type-of-tune....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Created after a trip to Brazil, it might come as no surprise that the opening rhythmic element is in fact a berimbau.However, the world music-tag quickly loses its relevance there as the electronic manglings creep in with stuttering glitchy effect to add jagged, distorted edges to the rhythmic elements.Melodic content comes from clean bass guitar and electric piano motifs. Extreme low bass frequencies emphasize the monstrous scraping drag and tear of the middle part before entering the toned-dow...]]></description>

		<link>http://www.igorski.nl/item/havok</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Unusually energetic ( for the composer's doing ) in both loudness and driving percussive parts.
A twin bass guitar assault (one distorted, one clean filtered type playing more disco-esque octave runs) fight against the digital raw cutting sounds courtesy of the Elektron SID Station in a call-and-response interplay.
A multitude of processed drum tracks along with more natural percussive hits supply the rhythmic bed upon which the composition moves from near funky segments via fast arpeggios to ...]]></description>

		<link>http://www.igorski.nl/item/segue</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Starting off with a repeating motif with alternating bass drones, the sounds echo through a wide space, only to be interrupted by dry bass and piano sounds and radio interference. A brooding ominousness grows towards a manic theme, doubled by bass, tremolo picked guitar and berimbau hits.Recurring sounds from sister composition "flagiolettes" feature alongside more distorted / blurred noises, hinting at the tonal palette to be used by "heliopolis" and thus acting as a bridge between these compos...]]></description>

		<link>http://www.igorski.nl/item/stalwarthog</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Three minute ode to utter paranoia : the feeling of being chased by numerous shadows through the dense fog of the dark forest.Wooden percussive sounds and tribal stomps unite a blend of acoustic string sounds and more science fiction-esque futuristic&nbsp;synthesizer-lines and machinal pops, clicks and moans. Having said that, there might be some extraterrestrial influence creeping in halfway through the chase....]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[fisher price deathmachine pt. II]]></title>
		<link>http://www.igorski.nl/item/fisher-price-deathmachine-pt.-ii</link>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the louder tracks on display. Loud drum snares and distorted guitars make for a very violent mix, led by a White Zombie-esque "chugging groove". Abstract breathing sounds set a industrial atmosphere over the rigid four-to-the-floor kick and hi-hat patterns.For additional interest, syncopated snares sounds and open hi-hats float around the main percussive rhythms. This short excerpt ends with the distortion moving from the guitars to the bass guitar for a jazzy epilogue....]]></description>

		<link>http://www.igorski.nl/item/smoghorn</link>
		<description><![CDATA[An abstract "visual" piece as opposed to anything resembling a 'tune'.
The earth crust is slowly tearing and shifting, as demonstrated in a lament of moaning tectonic plates moving over eachother. Extreme static noises give way to clean FM synthesizers spelling out chord fragments for added eerie-ness and round, squelchy basses....]]></description>

		<link>http://www.igorski.nl/item/white-veil</link>
		<description><![CDATA[A bleak pallete of sounds to accompany images of a frigid landscape submerged in snow.The piano is played "lazily" as a means to drift across the strict, rigid drum beats played below. Long, stretched brass sounds softly cry their minimal theme in the distance, underpinned by low pitched guitar parts....]]></description>

		<link>http://www.igorski.nl/item/heliopolis</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Arrives at your ears in three parts:
An eastern-tinged opening, in which low flute-esque sounds pair up with percussive glass sounds and wooden hits. This slowly leads into the drumbreak section where filtered slap bass coupled with effected guitars and washes of synthesizer pick up the pace frenetically. This part moves steadily towards its end where it breaks down into a piece that is best described as "stoner dub", where off-beat hits complement the percussive sounds of the piece's opening, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["...after entering the dark tunnel of the pyramid, the archeologist was met with..."Bell-like harmonics play a minimal, understated theme aided by a large decaying reverb filling out the field. Tension slowly builds with the introduction of new instruments playing mostly staccato parts in a call-and-answer approach until the pieces climax is reached, after which the tension is suddenly released....]]></description>
