Artist description Razing Darkness pursues the constant exploration of the subconsciousness of sound and the subconsciousness of self. Aural elements include: abysmal resonances, transcendent tones, disembodied melodies, blurred rhythms, peripheral glimpses, bizarre juxtaposition, decayed voices, reversed dreams and beautifully terrifying walls of noise. Ultra-sensory stimulation for the id; lo-fi isolationist musick. A portal to the Other.

Artist History I began Razing Darkness in 1998 after finding that I was incompatible and disinterested in making music with others. This project provides me with a completely self-indulgent outlet of my innermost thoughts, emotions and imagination. Absolute freedom in the exploration of sound without the constraints of structure and compromises.

Group Members Razing Darkness is Jason Danielson.

Instruments Sound sources include various electronic and acoustic equipment, the misuse and abuse of software, found sound and everything else in-between.

Albums -RAZING GERMS- A hybrid of Razing Darkness and the colorful collective mind of Tapegerm.

Blasts of intense, psychedelic noise with a serene conclusion. -RETINA VOICES- (cassette) 60 minutes. 13 tracks of early sound experiments ranging from soothing drones to haunting atmospheres to noisy dadaist collage.

Press Reviews "Tracks drift smoothly and uncomfortably between cloudy dronescapes and biting beats and dissonance" - Marc Kate of Listen.com
