The Magus (2010)


This was the first Incubi release. It's more like a collection of 'demos' then a proper album, as it definitely has lower production standards, and is a bit incoherent. However, it does contain a lot of interesting material, spanning around 40 short tracks over the course of an hour, displaying many different ideas and themes. It includes avant-metal, math rock, dada, noise, folkish music, avant-classical, electronic music, collage, middle-eastern-inspired music, sound art, cartoon music, among many other styles. Instrumentally there is also a lot of variety, especially for a bedroom recording by someone who doesn't have much money to buy instruments. There's computer-made electronic sounds, samples, guitars, bass, violin, saxophone, tuba, trumpet, 8-bit sounds, vocals, ukulele, a broad range of percussive sounds, flutes, keyboards, and maybe some others I'm forgetting.
