Title:	The Helical Word
Label:	ISOUNDERSCORE
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	ISO 002CD

2005 release. "The Helical Word was written by 23 year-old Brandon Nickell under the recording name Aemae over a lengthy two-year period in Oakland, California between 2003 and 2005. The record is an intensive experimentation with vocal resonance and digital formant manipulation, employing a wide array of synthesis techniques using self-written software. The Helical Word is undeniably a systematic and dark electronic exploration into the frequency domain. The record is constructed from the ground up as a pure exercise in synthesis without the use of field recordings, vocals, or samples."

Title:	Maw
Label:	ISOUNDERSCORE
Format:	CD
Price:	$8.50
Catalog #:	ISO 004CD

2007 release. "Maw is the full-length follow-up to AEMAE's 2005 album The Helical Word. These five pieces were composed by 25 year-old Brandon Nickell between the period of summer of 2005 and fall of 2006. Perhaps it can be suggested that Maw expands upon the aurora borealis and detailed frequency patterns of The Helical Word , however it sets itself apart from its predecessor with time-scales that breath and contract, intense dynamics whipping around the listener's spatial perception, and compositions that layer themselves with contours shaped and crafted with unusual precision. Maw easily documents and moves within intersections of modern electronic music composition, noise, and experimental music utilizing synthesis to construct new sounds."
