Frozen Horse

...for the people who are still alive.

It all comes down to Logos versus Gnosis, the oldest fight in town. Force versus light like unruly brothers, the battles were waves. Does one surrender to a pounding beat or dive deep into layered esoteric bleep-boop-loops? Ultimately, a synthesis, a balance must be struck. In the meantime, what side is he on?
Fleeing all W'rkncacnter, Frozen Horse emigrated to these shores after a childhood spent in Mu-Mu Land. Subsequently, he studied ethnomusicopharmacology at Miskatonic University. During his studies, he discovered the joys of tape-loop sampling and casette dub mixing. Soon, he heard the wonders possible with trackers and other software of the day and joined the digital era. Fieldwork left him with a bushel of samples and a burning desire to mix them.
Subsequently, mixes, remixes, and misuses of scientific data files were made. Frozen Horse then learned to DJ, on increasingly less preposterous gear, appearing at college parties and art gallery openings while holding a residency at his own bedroom. After such pupation he emerged; was the world ready?

Songs

Krystal Dreams (choose love mix) is a remix of Sundawner's track, now with some vocals.
My Philosophy is sweet, pretty music.
When Time Met Space to get on with the original get-on.

Frozen Horse may claim to not be selling out with this new club-oriented demo. But really, now all we’re arguing about is the price. (This file is large (~97 MB).)
Getting back to the old idea with some old tunes, this is either the most beat-filled of ambient or the most head-clearing of trance. Load your overnight bag with visions, because We Won’t Need Words Where We’re Going. (This file is large (~92 MB).)
The Morning After.... Hungover, coming down, slept rough, and feeling like it was worth it. Finally time to kick the shoes off and reflect on events. So many mornings, only a few can be called the morning after... (This file is large (~76 MB).)
Lullabiology is an ambient expedition into the terrain of dreams and awakenings. (This file is large (~60 MB).)

Frozen Horse, do you have any tobacco? is the question on the lips of everyone these days for some reason. It is also a mix that detours into the ghost towns left unexplored in The Rites of Moo and talks a while with the hermits who look to the west with their spirits crying for leaving.
Recessional is a hard look into the setting sun, and the knowledge that this is one ghost town that it's best to be out of before dark. We have gone too far. (This file is large (~52 MB).)
The Rev. Dr. Frozen Horse is here to give a sunday service for all you sinners who are still here from the night before. (This file is large (~60 MB).)
The Riddle ofTrance is primal, atavistic, and what it's all about. A long-delayed return to trance, still shaking the kinks out. (This file is large (~58 MB).)
