Esotronika is an artist whose ears are informed by the sound of the Rising Sun, whose elegiac ruminations are predicated on a lament for youthful ideals amidst a transmogrified, post-industrial reality. His introspective esotronic works occupy space as a singular entity, juxtaposing a tensile sobriety with the gravitas of the age – all set against the backdrop of an uncaring Universe.

Untold Brainardsville Episode 004: Baphomet Glam, by zen tyrants


"Baphomet Glam" is a two-hour remix, combining 2 separate remixes that were to be broadcast on Fnoob-Underground-Radio in December 2014 and January 2015 as "Oblivion Quarantine Session" episodes 5 & 6. Because Fnoob.com cancelled, I did some major surgery and rearranged some portions into this slightly modified version.

zen tyrants: Tribute of the Hafgygr Issue

Zen Tyrants: Tribute of the Hadfgygr Issue from Esotronika on Vimeo.

Audio samples were taken from a cassette tape recorded long ago on the road with the US Navy Band UNITAS, somewhere in South America, processed using radiaL and Traktor. Soundscape recycles one of Directive 14s fortnightly radio shows along with trendy beats. This is a test of different video production software but the rest is the same: a Traktor mix with video generated by my Vizzie software. Music is by Zen Tyrants, aka myself and djandyredrum. Produced at the cold Lumberjack Research Shack in December, 2013.

Exiled Ultimate: Decadent Huffabirds

Exiled Ultimate: Decadent Huffabirds from Esotronika on Vimeo.

Whilst laid up after yet another intestinal surgery, I discovered the therapeutic healing properties of Dan Senn's huffabirds. Video created (after Senn) using Max Vizzie modules; the techno mix was a real hodge-podge of disparate elements, but I started with a live Traktor mix and added a few other layers of electronic sound. Produced at Murder Hospital, Malone, NY.

Dedicated to Dan Senn.
