Thee Captains ov Industry

Continuing the 'someone else makes the original sounds and I see what kind of mess I can make with them' series of releases! Now it has happened with Steve Rufus Mackenzie, a fine Leeds gentlefellow I had the pleasure of meeting a few times during my decades living there, and now I am not there any more, we finally get to collaborate. He supplied me with three sound files ('drums 33', 'dystopian' and 'electronic fan') at the end of March and I played around, re-arranged, mangled, tangled, debilitated and soldered them back together with different limbs and identities until the end of June, using Shotcut, Wavepad, Reaper, insomnia and an unquenchable thirst for finding the weirdest sounds and rhythms. We hope you enjoy 'thee captains ov industry'. 🦉🫖 1. Critical Bug 07:15 2. The Kettle Sings The Pot Black Theme 08:32 3. Broken Core Dystopia 02:15 4. As The Sirens Beckon 04:52 5. Quest 24:55 "Oho!" said the pot to the kettle; "You are dirty and ugly and black! Sure no one would think you were metal, Except when you're given a crack." "Not so! not so!" kettle said to the pot; "'Tis your own dirty image you see; For I am so clean – without blemish or blot – That your blackness is mirrored in me." 🦉🫖 Steve played 'Critical Bug' from this on his Grey Clay Radio show. www.mixcloud.com/greyclayradio/soundtrack-from-the-edge-of-the-world-episode-2/ Discover around 100 releases covering a multitude of styles... russells-teapot.bandcamp.com released October 2, 2025 🦉🫖 ^ I know this may be childish, but, really though...
