Album Notes

the hwreckit concept was born out of both pent-up creative energy and frustration. originally a drummer, and recently off a tour with my friends in the electrocore band, chainsaws and children, i was in need of a new outlet. i wanted to get started on a solo project, and rely heavily on the computer to get most of it done. i purchased propellerheads reason and a midiman oxygen-8. that's about all it took to get going. at the project's inception, i was listening to a lot of electroclash, and i think that has come through on devices.for.crisis. but i also wanted to utilize more traditional sounds and pull from a more broad area of influence. the bulk of the tracks are more up-tempo. some are loosely structured while others are more freeform. the sounds are not overly-exotic. the songs generally got started with percussion, and then synth lines, loops, samples, vocals, and effects were laid in. lyrically, the content ranges from the trappings of pornography to frustration with structure to simple intoxication. i utilized an abundance of vocal processing while attempting to still maintain intelligibility.

enjoy the sounds.
