What Does A Scanner See? (137-145 BPM) by Chrysamorph published on 2022-11-28T16:58:28Z Played and recorded live at Forestocrats VI on 22-11-26. "What does a scanner see? he asked himself. I mean, really see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does a passive infrared scanner like they used to use or a cube-type holo-scanner like they use these days, the latest thing, see into me - into us - clearly or darkly? I hope it does, he thought, see clearly, because I can't any longer these days see into myself. I see only murk. Murk outside; murk inside. I hope, for everyone's sake, the scanners do better. Because, he thought, if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I myself do, then we are cursed, cursed again and like we have been continually, and we'll wind up dead this way, knowing very little and getting that little fragment wrong too." -- Philip K. Dick, 'A Scanner Darkly' A great thank-you to the Forestocrats for letting me as a guest-artist play at their party. I got to play the opening set of the evening, and I ended up conjuring up this eclectic mix of dark progressive and forest progressive sounds. Not the smoothest mix perhaps, but something to lift the spirits from early-evening swampscapes into more proper woodland sounds. 00:00:00 - Gaz Mask: Waterpipe [All is Vibration | 2016 | Zenon] 00:05:56 - Dreamstalker & Braindrop: Scorpion Illusion [V/A Ear Growth | 2017 | Occulta] 00:12:26 - Minimal Criminal: Reborn [V/A Dystopic Future | 2017 | Uroboros] 00:18:39 - Evil Oil Man & Hellquist: Cerebrovaskuler [A Hundred Miles of Wire | 2018 | Zenon] 00:25:10 - Okyo & Mojo's Ears: Wild Fonction [Deep Forest | 2022 | ADN Groove] 00:32:02 - Schrott: You Deal With Steel [Sub-Human | 2021 | Zenon/Noise Kult] 00:37:55 - Melt vs. Space Organ: Dimensions of Time [Fusion Freqs | 2021 | Intermind] 00:44:44 - Dumbadunz: Partnership [Life Ties | 2020 | Another Psyde] 00:50:28 - Colt: Emergence Space [Ancient Invaders | 2019 | Uroboros] 00:56:58 - Amuzing the Freak: Horns of the Apocalypse [V/A Synthetic Ritual | 2014 | Occulta] 01:02:25 - Kasadelica: Presynaptic [V/A Forest Prog | 2020 | Intermind] 01:06:57 - Mojo's Ears & Mogwai: Mars Utopia [Serendipitous | 2020 | Intermind] 01:09:38 - Alchemy Circle: RJ 2.0 (Symetric RMX) [unreleased] 01:16:33 - Hybrid Reality: Subaquatrip [Beyond the Doors of Mind | 2014 | Parasomnia] 01:23:52 - Purist: Icaro (Alchemy Circle RMX) [Side-B | 2020 | self-released] 01:28:12 - Ritalin Child: Carpenter [V/A Forest Medicine | 2020 | Visionary Shamanics] 137 --> 145 BPM Genre Forest Prog
