Free Music Friday: Electronica artist and music blogger Mark Mosher has released a new album, Reboot, that’s just a little spooky.
Mosher says:
Two years in the making, REBOOT is an album containing 7 richly layered electronica songs that blend contemporary synthesizer sounds with classical music motifs. The end result is dark electronica for those who love synth “ear candy” with a “dirty” industrial edge.
Make sure you check out the track They Walk Among Us. It dives straight into B-movie territory, with its use of theremin, flying saucer sounds and vintage horror sounds. Could be a perfect soundtrack for Halloween.
Mosher has released Reboot with a pay-what-you like model. You can preview the album above or check it out at his Bandcamp site. If you like it, you can download it for free or pay Mosher whatever you like.
Mosher’s suggested price is $6 for the album (7 songs, 22 min. + digital booklet) and $1 for singles. Enter $0 for free download.
A Half-Remembered Sentence from The Quiet Man

Text + Voice : John Foxx | Sound + Vision : Jonathan Barnbrook | Made for the recent DNA exhibition in London featuring the works of artists influenced by pioneering electronic musician John Foxx.
This animation takes one sentence from Foxx’s written work ‘The Quiet Man’ and illustrates it with a dreamlike quality reminiscent of the nature of the text and the main characters approach to the idea of the city.
A longer, more ambient version of this video will be uploaded in the next few weeks.
