about

Recorded from around 1999 through 2008, this album has languished "in the vault" since it was originally intended for release in 2009. It gives a good snapshot of where I was musically at the time, which was basically nowhere. A heavy work life precluded practically any musical output. I would go months without setting foot in the studio, except to glance around and sigh. Cobwebs formed. Knobs and faders corroded. Displays dimmed.
Finally, I have dusted them off, shined them up a bit, and TA-DAH...here they are.
These tracks represent a fairly diverse palette, from the almost soul/poppish "Serve You Please" (which won an honorable mention in the 2003 John Lennon Songwriting Contest), to the ambience of "Dedication In 3 Parts", to the epic drone of "Landscape Afghanistan".
Enjoy!

about

80 lb. Test Raleigh, North Carolina

Based in Raleigh, NC, 80 lb.Test is the solo synth project of Doug Llewellyn.

80 lb.Test uses a variety of hardware synths, controllers, and virtual synths to create anything from lush, ambient washes to frenetic pulsing sequences, to meandering sonic doodles.
Mostly based on loosely structured songs, Doug will often stray into uncharted territory, veering close to the musical ditch. ... more
