Music Alert: Timewitch – Sarah’s New Best Friend Sarah (Psychic Test Tapes)

Check out these weird new remixes from my 2022 album There’s Something Wrong with Sarah.

Timewitch – Sarah’s New Best Friend Sarah (Psychic Test Tapes)

We return to a pivotal moment at the Witch Mountain Children’s Institute when Sarah meets her new best friend Sarah, also under the “care” of doctors with shall we say questionable motives.

A new scene is revealed: both Sarahs undergo extensive testing to probe their suspected psychic abilities, shortly before they combine their powers to attack their captors and finally break free from the institute. These test session tapes survived.

Video Alert: EXPOSED! The Truth About Time Cults

Who wants a bucket of VHS cult horror blood?

I just made a bonkers music video for EXPOSED! The Truth About Time Cults, a song from the eponymous Timewitch debut album. Timewitch is my minimal occult synth side project.

Happy Halloween 2022! 🎃

Fake Soundtrack Alert! There’s Something Wrong with Sarah

Who doesn’t love a little throwback exploitation realness?

My soundtrack to the totally fake film There’s Something Wrong with Sarah is a love letter to the godawful low-budget horror film soundtracks of the 70s and 80s.

This album has it all: dripping synths, ridiculous Tubular Bells ripoff piano themes, dadaist nonsense noise collages, and more.

Cut to a grainy 35-mm trailer with a low-voiced guy saying:

Sarah’s a normal, healthy 9 year-old girl — until recently. Her parents have started to think there might be something a bit off about their sweet little angel.

Where she used to joyously jump rope, now she just stares. Where she used to roller skate, now other kids avoid her strange aura. Where she used to solve puzzles, now she ponders the impenetrable mysteries of the human mind.

Hypnosis, telepathy, telekinesis; no one knows what she’s capable of next. One thing is for certain: there’s something wrong with Sarah.

Music Alert: Debut Timewitch Album!

Who doesn’t love a little creepy, throwback ambient techno?

Last year I began recording songs as Timewitch, a project that focuses on leftfield / experimental techno drenched in early 90s synth nostalgia. Now the debut Timewitch album is finally available!

Here’s the promo copy:

The eponymous debut of Minneapolis-based left-field electronica artist Timewitch is a love letter to the freakier frontiers of early 90s synth music. Borrowing from the freshman releases of IDM legends Aphex Twin, mu-Ziq, and Autechre, Timewitch’s eponymous album pays homage to the absolutely bonkers soundtracks of early 90s occult exploitation videos that continue to haunt and delight to this day.

Timewitch is available to stream and download on SoundCloud and Bandcamp.

Enjoy!

Music Alert: Timewitch – Miniature Trails of Light

I’m ticked and delighted to announce that Miniature Trails of Light, the debut single of my throwback techno side-project Timewitch, is out today!

With an original mix and 6 genre-bending remixes, Miniature Trails of Light clocks in at a hefty 37 minutes of electronic listening pleasure.

The Timewitch project is a love letter to early left-field 90s electronica ala Aphex Twin and Autechre.

Listen now Bandcamp or SoundCloud.
