Music

Scorpio Rising was released on March 19, 2025 and recorded live at Wild Sound Studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by Steve Kaul and Joshua Parlanti. Mastered at Audioactive Mastering by Tom Garneau. Album art and layout by Steve Vorass.

"The overall feel of the music is a kind of ritual meditative music with modal folk, gothic and avant-garde classical themes. In spite the album's dark tones, textures and colors, Dissonant Creatures remains a sensual, soothing and contemplative collection of pieces. Music from Dissonant Creatures has been featured in independent film projects and on NPR's Science Friday program."

"Whirlwinds of improvised sound are layered by cello, guitar, and analog synth while bass and drums hold a steady groove. This is a raw, live recording of the first incarnation of Aaron Kerr's Dissonant Creatures from their 2009 tour."
