TECHDOG 1-7

Patricia Taxxon's TECHDOG series is a project not to be slept on.

Each album corresponds to a feeling TECHDOG is experiencing. Starting off as a warm introduction to a slow downward spiral into pain and agony. Then, in the end, feeling nothing.

It is such a gut wrenching listen from start to finish. At first you are jamming to the IDM, enjoying the happy, wonky vibes these songs give off. But then, you are sat there scared, with the ambience and harsh drones of loneliness crowding you. Leaving you feeling practically empty by the time TECHDOG 5 concludes.

Then, it's TECHDOG's most harshest pieces yet. Somehow making ambience and harsh noise feel agonizing and painful with every minute that clocks through.

The penultimate part of the album leaves you empty. Which is a perfect fit into the shows finale.

TECHDOG 7 is an absolute gut-wrenching, heart-breaking experience. The woe-filled voice messages from our protagonist apologizing, to ambience that makes you feel nobody is there to save you. It chips at what you have left, and it is absolutely frightening, but also beautiful.
