Introducing the NEW, Inexpensive, ALL Inclusive, Snail Mail

KnotrillyRecords  Slim Line Store

This music isn't cheap.  In fact, each little disc took hundreds of hours of loving labor.  However, the packaging is slimmed down and offered inexpensively.  The banks and all of the other middle men are out of the loop.  All of these releases are completely home made.  Each is only $5.00 plus $1.00 for shipping and handling.  Send me a check, money order or cash and tell me which ones you want.

Times are tough, music makes it tolerable.  Music helps one to realize it is still a beautiful life of art and song created from air.  This music isn't all things to everyone, but it is original and very hard to label.  In fact, if you write a review of one of my CDs and I use it here at the website--I'll refund your money for the CD.

13 Releases by KnotrillyRecords.com

These are all full albums.  The only things missing from the packaging are the lyrics and the back panel.  The standard CD case has been replaced by the slim line version.

The newest from the Brains.  Biting,  specific and made to inspire action.  The music is a complete departure from Bite Me!  The lyrics are a literal call to arms.  Get the truth, get in the game, get Exploding Brains 2 Enhanced Interrogation Techniques in America.

Sample Songs:  Wake Up Call    Freedom for the Free    The Evil Ones 

Exploding Brains, Bite Me!,  offers emotion, energy, passion and direction for the revolution taking place right now in America.   This music screams with urgency.  Our country is screaming too.  Support your country, stand up for your freedom and let's Rock the World!   "Paul Ravere with a microphone and a distorted guitar"   "The loud road to enlightenment"  "21st century wake up call"   "Cheaper than a decent meal and you can eat these Brains again and again and again"

Partial list of the songs:  Flood, The Color of Blue, Meaning Comes to Life, Watching the World and Everything's Gonna Be Alright
Sample Songs: Ishmaelian Monks of Warning     The Color of Blue    The Meaning Comes to Life

Matt Kjeldsen's Symphony of the House offers a respite from the urgency and the warnings of Exploding Brains, Exploding Brains 2 and Zero Hour.  Symphony provides a certain comfort and tranquility that comes only from home.  Symphony contains Opus 5105 that uses all samples from the house and grounds in Austin.
Partial list of the songs:  Beautiful Toys, Summer of Sadness, Believe Your Eyes, What If I Fall? and Try
Sample Songs:  Beautiful Toys   Summer of Sadness    Try

Trash Can Eggs by Matt Kjeldsen completes a many year project of never ending starts of songs and tracks.  With the completion of Exploding Brains, Exploding Brains 2, Zero Hour and finally, Symphony of the House, all else on the hard drive was finished, mixed and canned.  Trash can eggs are made from the leftovers that either go into the eggs or into the trashcan.  It is the end of a journey and the gateway to the next.
Partial list of the songs:  Where Do I Sign?, We Can't Run Away,  Another Monday Comes Again, Delusional Underworld and Fusion Fashion Diva
Sample songs:  Where Do I Sign?    We Can't Run Away    Sail On Bye

WARNING!  If you are easily offended and/or rigid in your religious or social views, please Do Not Order this CD.  

Radio Banned by The Runes critiques modern life with a snicker.  The album is presented as though it is a compilation of bands, all of differing genres, playing music with lyrics of political incorrectness.  No profanity is used.
Partial list of the songs:  Party of God, Lick Your Teeth, The Big Wanker Blues, The Deca Dance and Brain Dead
Sample Songs:   Party of God   America Breathing   Progress

Lost Songs, the debut release by  The Runes was a major accomplishment for the band because it was recorded in the garage with a Roland VS 880.  Much was learned, but unfortunately using the new technology also proved to be costly.  Three songs were completely wiped from the hard drive just before completion.  Thus, the title.
Partial list of the songs:  Big Texas Sky, Island Bed, On Fire for You, Little Shitty Tune and Back To The Wild
Sample Songs:  Big Texas Sky      On Fire for You     When You Were Real

Dancing with Ghosts by  The Runes was the second release of what turned out to be five.  Dancing with Ghosts was conceptual in nature and the songs flow in style and theme.  It was a real departure from the live performance based sound of Lost Songs.  No one knew what the end result was going to be when they created and recorded their parts.
Partial list of the songs:  When You Were Real, Darkest Dreams, Rolling the Dice, Town of Song and Somewhere Else
Sample Songs:  When You Were Real   Darkest Dreams    Town of Song

Specters in the Mist by  The Runes was the second of the ghost trilogy.  Most of the songs were actually played by the Runes when they performed live.  They were finally recorded in studio and thus these once live songs were to live again.
Partial list of the songs:  Somethin' Happy, Armin' Myself, The Party, I Burn and 70 or Dead
Sample Songs:     I Burn    I Feel It    Just A Little

What Remains by  The Runes along with the unreleased Last Songs, ended the odyssey of The Runes.  Loose ends were tied up, songs and tracks were finished and then the hard drive was cleared.  The Runes went out with little fanfare, but What Remains contains some of the best songs that no one has ever heard.  The ghost trilogy was complete.
Partial list of the songs:  Wild Sky, Lost Along the Way, Somewhere, Crowded Room and Slipping Away
Sample Songs:  Crowded Room    Slipping Away      Licking The Mirror

Hangin' On The Edge by  Gravity Jacket wasn't so much a debut release as a once again reunion of two long time friends.  Matt Kjeldsen and Mac McNabb performed together in Gravity Jacket and before that with The Name.  Although they no longer perform together, they are tied by their roots and connected through Matt's songs and Mac's musicianship and production skills.  Hangin' On The Edge stands alone.
Partial list of the songs: Up To You, I Deny That, Something in the Attic, Pile of Crocodiles and Maze 
Sample Songs:  Up To You      I Deny That      Something in the Attic                                   

Hidden from View by  Gravity Jacket was an expensive studio recording that captured the sound of the band, even though the band no longer existed.  Fame and fortune did not follow, but this recording and the songs and performances remain poignant and unique. 
Partial list of the songs:  If Only, Snow Party, Just a Little, How It Feels and After the Wonder
Sample songs:  After The Wonder     How It Feels     If Only

Stone Soup by Matt Kjeldsen is essentially Matt's first solo album.  It was never intended to be so.  Stone Soup was created out of the hard drive finishing and clearing effort of the What Remains and Last Songs days.  Some of the tracks are clearly demos of tunes that ended up on Hangin' on the Edge.  Others are completed recordings of songs that could've been Rune's tunes.  It is what it is.
Partial list of the songs:  Driving, Plastic Veneer, Healing, Drowse and Bring It On
Sample songs:  Healing     Driving     Plastic Veneer

Infiltrate is the original Music for Media release.  Some of these tracks were composed for the documentary, 
Crime Scene Cleaners.  Weeping in the Dark has been used again and again on television shows 
from Oprah to the Conspiracy Files to Animal Police.

Partial list of the songs:  Lost Jungle, Assimilate, Helmet, Plastic Sophistication and Cadillac Jazz
Sample songs:  Helmet   Plastic Sophistication    Cadillac Jazz

Sample songs:  Flying People, Hidden Wires    Desolate Drive    Cuban Holiday

Sample songs:  Club Trippin'     Fast Cars    Air

                                                       
 The Beats of Sweet Street   is urban grooving with Matt's individual perspective.  Just like all of Matt's tracks, it is not a pure music form, but rather a blend.  The predominant feel is inner-city.
Partial list of the songs:  Sweet Street Swirl, Gobi the Grifter, Hangin' with the Phat Man, Midnight Cool and Headlights and Tailights
Sample songs:  Gobi the Grifter    Low Down    Sweet Street Swirl

Other World Grooves  creates modern tracks from sounds of the emerging world.  The grooves are formed from cultures that we are familiar with but really do not know.  They are western in application but they emerge from other worlds.
Partial list of the songs:  Fight Film, Holy Sight, Rainy Blues, Psycho Disco and Middle East Confusion
Sample songs:  Rainy Blues  Clues at the Crime Scene  Groovy Groove

Visceral Textures    is a lush expanse of melody and rhythm.  It continues the themes of the emerging world and the forgotten worlds from Other World Grooves, but then goes on to create a unique feel.  The songs are of the earth and yet scented with western art.
Partial list of the songs:  High Speeds and High Altitudes, Exotic Temptress, Strange New Atmosphere, Grapes and Massage Oil and Industrial Reggae
Sample songs:  Grapes and Massage Oil   Garden of Dark Surprise     Therein Lies the Answer

Spirits from a Dying World   was written with the Discovery and Nature Channels specifically in mind.  Each track tells a story of the natural world or of the attack against the indigenous peoples.  This is one of my favorites.
Partial list of the songs:  Sparks and Lava,  Dreamtime Refugees,  Sub Saharan Solstice, Forgotten Ways of Being and Perilous Crossing
Sample songs:  Sparks and Lava  Dreamtime Refugees  Sub Saharan Solstice

 
Dig Sound Collection 1  was created for a fledgling music library with a new system of tracing the use of music.  The music styles are upbeat, funky and busy.  They are designed to run seamlessly behind sports highlights and voice-overs. 
Partial list of the songs:  Big Beat Mania, Trans-Aleutian Orchestra, Sports Highlights, Pressure Funk and Progressive Jazzin'
Sample songs:  Sports Highlights   Big Beat Mania   Black and White Mystery

KnotrillyRecords
Music for Media 10  contains a great many home made samples.  The tracks are quite diverse and the CD overall has a different feel and an indefinable uniqueness.  The end of the CD contains variations of the track Wild, which was used on The Amazing Race.  The producers felt various versions could be used.
Partial list of the songs:  Canonesque Allusions, Sitaroo, Creeping from the Gutter, Gardens and Wild
Sample songs:  Canonesque Allusions   Cool Glide   Wild variation 3                  

Dynamic Tension vol 1   is a collection of hypnotic, slowly building tracks that create tension without being abrasive.  The beats are modern and the sounds are familiar.  The feel pushes action.
Partial list of the songs:  Bleakness, Bubbles and Mist, Marching in the Dark, Electro Sonic Walls and Wind Blown Landscape
Sample songs:   Bleakness    Electro Sonic Walls   High Intensity Good Times                    

Dynamic Tension vol 2   continues the theme from Dynamic Tension vol 1 with some tracks being a little more aggressive and funky.  There are also some experimental tracks that plow new ground.
Partial list of the songs:  Sliding Metal Stabs, Sunday Morning Jazz, High Mountain Village, Chaotic Cello Rock and Fleet Piano Variation
Sample songs:  Sliding Metal Stabs   Sunday Morning Jazz    Sifting Through the Evidence               

Tales of Darkness and Suspense  creates the feeling of several short horror/suspense films pieced together as a soundtrack.  Scary and dark and very effective.
Partial list of the songs:  Gardens of Delight, Purge of the Overlord, Webs and Wires, In the Lair of the Red Monks and Hologram Heaven
Sample songs: Gardens of Delight    In the Lair of the Red Monks   Purge of the Overlords

Stingers vol 1   contains instrumental variations of several simple themes.  Each instrument completely changes the tone of the theme.  Most tracks have a version with and then without beat.  This is very specifically intended for producers.
Partial list of the songs:  Cold and Icy Landscape, Shifting Pulsing Escape, Flying Taxi Cabs, Solving the Mystery and Illuminating Expanse 
Sample songs:  Cold and Icy Landscape     Glass Droplets   Last Call in the Lounge    

Stingers vol 2  contains instrumental variations of several simple themes.  Each instrument completely changes the tone of the theme.  Most tracks have a version with and then without beat.  This is very specifically intended for producers.
Partial list of the songs:  Sneaking Behind the Steam Machines, Mirrors and Masks, Blades and teeth, Reptile Planet and Swamp Lands
Sample songs:  Ice World   Swamp Lands    Lost in Eastern Europe           

                         
Beat, Groove and Feel rocks more than most of the other Music for Media CDs.  Guitars and rock drums are more out in front on many of the tracks.  Jazz and alternative tracks also surface on this very present and active CD.
Partial list of the songs:  Ghost Groove, Feeding the Machine, Soul Shredders, Don't Stop and Striding
Sample songs:  Ghost Groove    Round and Round the Race Track   Soul Shredders        

Whales and Waterways  vol  1 uses soft synths to create orchestral backdrops.  I'm very proud of the way these tracks came out.  This CD is much different from all of the Music for Media CDs that came before it.  Whales and Waterways is now one of my favorites.
Partial list of the songs:  Boundless Horizon, Gliding in the Cloud Mist, Bad Medicine Dream, Confusion and Emptiness and Dark Tension Builds
Sample songs:  Whales and Waterways   Boundless Horizon   Solitude Becomes Wonder 

Whales and Waterways  vol  2  contains alternate mixes of many of the tracks from Whales and Waterways.  Beats completely change the orchestral feel and different instrumentation is featured.
Partial list of the songs:  Flying Close to the Horizon, Solitude Becomes Wonder, Round and Round the Race Track, Whales and Waterways and Coma Nation
Sample songs:
Flying Close to the Horizon alt mix  Whales and Waterways alt mix only voices Gliding in the Cloud Mist alt mix with bass and guitar
