Albums
Skeletones is the third album by Torchard and explores the use of a Roland TB-303 for various acid n’ bass compositions.
Mediscene (Life Is a Gateway) is the second album by Torchard. Mediscene transcends various genres of music and examines how and why we’ve collectively become a medination.
In Dante’s Inferno, there is a ‘Wood of Suicides’, where people who chose to take their own life are entombed within the oaks and feasted upon by harpies. Torchard was inspired by this concept and the album Wither was written about how it’s better to wither away from old age than to take one’s own life. Every song’s tempo, key and title were picked randomly. Wither II, a follow-up to this album is in the works.
