Patricia Taxxon - Visiting Narcissa [Full Album] 

My time at Narcissa's place was delightful. She speaks softly and with fascinating clarity. Her decor astounds me, no room is left unkempt, no expense is spared for her particular aesthetic flourish. Can't quite remember what she told me, but I'll never forget how it made me feel. I'll be visiting again soon!

this music gave me a very fun dream of a mini-series where 8 friends designed a very cool train for themselves only for it to go beyond their control so they have to recontrol and leave the train before regrouping to finally come to peace with it and one of the 8 friends was actually a projection of the train's "consciousness" and the train was a teenager struggling with being trains (trans lol) who needed a long conversation and boom and also there was some cool action. thank u for the dream, Patricia Taxxon!

The combination of sonic and visual aesthetics here is impeccable.

okay so. I have synesthesia and sometimes get visualizations (though in my mind's eye, not actually seeing) of colors and shapes and textures and a whole bunch of other things. I'm usually too busy to appreciate the soundscapes when I listen to music but the opening song knocked me over the head, shook me by the collar, sat me down, and said LOOK. I feel like I just went to somewhere in the fourth dimension for 2 minutes and my skull is still rattling a bit. In an unordered and completely inadequate list, here's sort of what it was like: -You know that arched glass skylight ceiling that every mall has in all its main walkways? It was like moving down an infinite mall hallway on a hoverboard while colored shapes popped in and out of existence all around me at varying distances -at one point the curved supports of the archway started seeming like thin fish bones being struck with something small and metal. they were bright lime green. -There were echoing blue bass tiles down the whole walkway, dark denim-y blue, like cold stones -Sometimes bright and cartoonishly flat blue shapes popped in and out right in front of me like sunspots in my eyes -Colored stripes that arched overhead, following the curve of the ceiling and down the walls, raced back and forth along the whole walkway, in and out of sight pausing felt like coming up for air, genuinely don't think I've ever had such a strong sensory experience with a song before. I'm overstimulated but holy crap I am definitely gonna come back later to see what else is under that ocean! This is truly fantastic

I only just noticed that her reflection is crying. I'm gonna have to re-listen to the whole album now. Can't wait!

Hard to explain but this music tickles my brain the right way. Kinda like ASMR sometimes does but in more of a stimulating way than a relaxing way. Really cool. Love the cover art too.

absolutely incredible work. Thank god, SOPHIE and Autechre can't be the only ones

I always come back to this album every time I need to focus on anything. This is fantastic background music that enhances the experience of doing all stuff. Also I pretend that Narcissa will notice if I get distracted and glare at me in disapproval, so it motivates my ADHD brain to not look at my phone.

04:10 Her Kitchen served me well 38:33 Her Garage got great build up Thank you Narcissa. Just about to catch up!

GOODBYE UNIVERSE ILL SEE YOU IN ONE HOUR TWENTY SEVEN MINUTES THIRTY SIX SECONDS I'm entering the texture dimension

Holy shit, that was really really good. Really felt like each track told a story, and the album as a whole created a cohesive story. It feels weird to say this on an album with (almost) no lyrics, but it feels like I know this character better. The music and room names just make you Get what's going on, emotionally. Very interesting stuff, a lot of great storytelling moments conveyed through clever musical tricks. I feel like I don't know enough about music production to really articulate it, but, I loved it. Really beautiful album, really interesting, Definitely a new favorite! 10/10

2021 was a great year for Patricia Taxxon albums! I loved Yes, And in particular. It's such a colorful project, sparkly and life affirming and all those other fun adjectives. I used to play it once a day, I think? When I heard this album here (Visiting Narcissa) for the first time, right away I started drawing parallels. I was a bit sad at how these tracks are more meandering... they take longer to build and don't go as many places. HOWEVER! Upon relistens, I found much to love in this album. Every song feels so alive! "Her Hookah Lounge" is a personal favorite. The longer structure doesn't bother me anymore, I actually really like how well everything flows. It doesn't feel like there's a single loop here, and really the whole 90 minutes breezes by. When I have time, I listen to the entire album in one sitting. It's probably my favorite Patricia Taxxon album now? I actually went back to Yes, And, and it's crazy how this one kinda blows that one out of the water (no offense!). I didn't realize it until then, but this album is such a huge step up in production quality. Everything is so intricate and perfectly placed... it's actually awe-inspiring. Also, side note, if you're reading this Patricia please post a mixing tutorial!! I'm very jealous of the way the bass sounds on "Her Library."

the sound design and production on this is absolutely phenomenal. Iistening feels like looking at a grand mosaic filled with tiny intricate details.

Tastes like pop rocks

This album is amazing because I can draw while listening to it without getting distracted but I can also pay fully attention to the tracks and don't get bored even through I have a really short attention span due to my adhd.

So so so so many cool time signatures here it blows me away

I didn't think I could feel ASMR, and then this first track opens and immediately makes my whole head go tingly! I don't know if that was even slightly intended, but thanks for letting me know that my brain really likes the sound of... whatever the hell this is. Sounds like dragging your fingernail down a fine toothed comb, and it's amazing. The album is also just generally great, too.

Man. It's so strange listening to this because I just close my eyes and can just feel all the notes dancing around. Sliding by, slithering away. Like some kind of 4D play I only get glimpses of. Something truly unlike anything I've ever experienced.

I haven't finished listening yet but so far this album feels like it's satisfyingly scraping my mind clean and making all the icky parts ooze out of my ears and it's the best feeling ever

Happy pride month patricia

The art reminds me of the old MTG card Shahrazad. The album itself is pretty nice overall. Patty's been coming up aces lately.

i dont usually pay much attention when i throw an album on but this one keeps me tabbing back in to see how far along ive gotten and which track im on. its really nice

Impeccable vibes. Feels like going on a tour of a very opulent house in a fantasy world I don't belong in.

This one was an absolute joy too listen to all throughout, her pool was probably my favourite track, gives me the vibe of some mad scientist/inventor character working on their next project.

Beautifully intricate as always, some real delicious textures for my brain 🥰

God, you have such good taste in cover artists too tbh.

this tickles my brain in the best way possible , its like a fidget toy for my ears

Thank god, I thought we were done with furries on album covers!

Another morning with a Patricia Taxxon album is another morning worth waking up to. Much love. This album is sooo crunchy it's divine.

Farewell Narcissa. Though my stay may has been short, it has been truly wonderful. I do not believe I have left your home as the same one who entered it, and for that I will never forget you. I would never wish to forget you. One day may we meet again. And that day may we talk long through the night and into the morning and sleep until sunset. And may we wake again with aching bones and the inescapable knowledge that we have changed. And that we will change. Until that day I have much to think about. And after that day I will have more. Farewell, Narcissa. Farewell

This is the music of the future that everyone promised us:) I love the little details I notice more with every listen. I love how it's both super clear, yet also gritty. The world needs to know what transient shaper you used!

This was really cool. I wonder if the sprawling Piranesioid palace concept was something that was intended from the project's original inception or if the songs started suggesting this shape somewhere along the line. Anyways, Her Aviary and Hookah Lounge really took me back to playing video games in the 90s, trying to get those passwords on paper without mixing up 0 and O or I, l and 1, sitting on the carpet til it left impression patterns on my calves. Good stuff. Her Garage is my favorite of the bunch but I don't have flowery prose to back that one up, I just really dug it. I have to admit, I mainly subscribed for the video essays back in the day, and now I'm realizing I have a lot of music to catch up on.

I love the kinetecism of this album It really added to feelings of specific place each track had I dunno if it was the intent but in an abstract way it makes me think of a scenic painting, despite obviously being depicting more man made places

babe, wake up! new Patricia just dropped!

What ever track is going at around 16:30 reminds me so much of Wendy Carlos. Happy birthday to a legend!

this is so awesome to listen to while high

Man, the cover art is just so good. The music's great too, of course, but wow.

Oh my!! this is marvelous!!!!! so frickin' good!! I love it! :DDDD 😍✨✨ ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Congrats for the nomination Patricia ^w^

fantastic album, so far my favorite from Patricia

Omg a new album... And this in the morning??? It's going to be a wonderful day thx

this whole album transports me into another fantasy world that i don't wanna leave. brilliant stuff

ITS TIME EVERYONE, lets gooooo

same feeling as when you need to bite into something very hard and finally get to. crunching on a hard piece of bread in the most satisfying way possible.

Wowee Narcissism sounds fucking CRUNCHY

listened while doing homework. very cool!

Your albums have the ability to make me cry on command, there's life in every track, keep going and never stop, Patricia ❤

Love your music!

Captions be like: so... wow... do... wow... so... wow...

This is truly outstanding, the sound design is incredible and the style feels so interesting and unique from your other work while still reminding me of some of your other albums. The way Her Garage in particular turns from cool sounds to an absolute banger is so fascinating and cool

This is so absolutely beautiful, I'm utterly transported 😌😁

mate this is very fun, lovely and lively, and unique. cant wait to hear your other music! this is bloody brilliant

ive said it about her other albums, but this is going straight to thr stim playlist. it just scratches that brain itch just right, its so good!!!!!!!!

I don't know how to truly explain it but this album has made me want to tear myself from my physical body (in a good way??) Like, is so overwhelming but not too much to handle??? Just... Really nice ^⁠_⁠^

(I probably messed up where the songs stopped and started, but I don’t really feel like going back and trying to fix it) First song sounds like a kalimba made of the metal fingers from the Other Mother’s hand, like from the movie Coraline, it makes my head hurt a lot tbh but I listened to the full thing anyway Second song sounds like a brightly-colored stained glass window with the sun coming through it mixed with that green crunchy stuff you’re supposed to put fake plants in or something that they sell at Michael’s but it’s always already crushed when you see it Third song sounds like a short film about observing the lives of tiny metallic beetles, though when the second sounds came in it started sounding similar to something Antimo and Welles might make (/pos) Fourth song sounds vaguely like another Antimo and Welles song, definitely a very intense point in a story, becoming lighter in tone as it goes on but still having dark mystery intertwined in the sound, almost sounds like one of the more calm songs from No Straight Roads, like The Revolution Comes Around or Contemplate or The Long Con Sequence (I may have written the last one wrong) Fifth song sounds kinda like one of the new Minecraft songs in the new creepy update made by that lady, definitely reminds me of Terraria music too, it sounds like a scientist working on some sort of sci-fi project with potions or something, again sounding kinda Antimo & Welles by the end lol (I like this one a lot, it’s really calm) Sixth song reminds me of Bubble Tea by Dark Cat, that light bubbly feeling Seventh song is hard to label as anything, but there’s definitely some kind of metal in there, and while trying to imagine some visuals for it I thought of a rat running through a vent, so there’s that Eighth song sounds like that rat in that vent, a really claustrophobic and anxious feeling, or perhaps playing the game Unmechanical and repeatedly ramming your little robot head into a wall, or playing the game Little Nightmares and passing over the chefs in their kitchen or the guests eating what they made, but when by the end when the more musical sound started coming in it sounded like the lady from Little Nightmares at first but then became like one of those remixes of an older song, either a pirate shanty or a traditional festival song Ninth song sounds like stars Tenth song sounded like Invader Zim at first, somehow, but the more mystical sounds were something else, like exploring a forest, but the way it built up so dramatic and then it dissipated reminds me of movie credits Eleventh song sounds like popcorn, that was my initial thought for whatever reason, then I thought of Spooky Month from Señor Pelo, then just another general mystical adventure, though this one was even more magic-filled Twelfth (is that really how you spell it? looks weird) song sounds like something you’d hear in a suspenseful scene from a horror movie, those metallic beetles are back, someone’s tapping on a window, I think someone’s probably counting something, oooooh listen up boys we got a beat, sounds like the sound you get when you have a microphone in harsh wind, sounds like a chase scene, is it getting faster?, it sounds like a rubber paint brush is putting paint on my ears, sounds like a grandfather clock made of angels Thirteenth song sounds like a dial tone, then i don’t know what but something contemplative, then some more funky bugs, but their environment is more colorful this time, a jungle, Antimo & Welles again, boots sloshing through slush, someone curious, something’s growing, hope and courage, finally serenity and acceptance This album was a journey, thank you so much Patricia Taxxon

what a fresh sounds, ughhhh invigorating stuff...rewind

This makes my brain cells glow and shift colors like LEDs

Idk why but this feels like it's trying to reach inside my flesh suit and steal my organs.

put off listening to this until I was done with school work to properly enjoy it. one minute in and I already love it!

self examination can be healthy with context. im glad for your indulgence.

HER AVIARY! what a Wendy Carlos revelation!

I love this so much! It reminds me of game OST, I imagine this could fit perfectly in some kind of a weirdcore walking sim game (kind of like ENA) (i know ENA ia not a game yet, but still)

Shoutout to the 2022 sampler for reminding me this album existed

Nice some music to fall asleep to. I'm glad you're making some breakcore again, it really fits with your style!

I am like 50% sure I accidentally listened to this album at 2x speed the first time lmfao. I can't believe I didn't notice it. Listened to it again and made sure it was normal speed and I rly enjoyed it!

that's some really good music

Not gonna lie. I got kinda spooked when an hour in there's suddenly voices coming out of my speakers EDIT: it's now like 3-5 minutes later and I've just melted into chill. nice

It sounds like you hooked my brain up to some kind of electricity-based machinery and started playing it like an instrument

I have no words other than, this is amazing

i wanna be a great artist one day

I really love what you do

she's done it again!

Every clap and drum is for each good day I'll have after listening to this

art is alive and well with you Patricia. This is incredible

This is an ASMR of a panic attack I'm a fan and on time for the train!

This was my first time visiting Narcissa. I had a great time.

holy shit top 10 noises

OH SHIT NEW ALBUM LETS GO

This album is pure sensory bliss:)

Pat, you music is art ♥️

oh, this is a real treat

Her bed is sooooooo good!!

This sound design blows my mind

Great work Patricia!

you outdid yourself! amazing! fantastic!

listened to the whole album and it was a wild ride to be sure! have to agree on a fellow commenter @Arcadia Adair on this one. My time at Narcissa's place was indeed delightful! My favorite track at the moment is Her Kitchen its just ear candy to me! hah.

lets fucking GOOOOOOO

LETS FUCKING GOOOO

what a yummy and scrumptious textural feast

extremely good

This is otherworldly

Oh. She looks quite nice.

Since I found your channel a few months ago I am slowly listening to more of the music as I finish the video essays and damn this makes me wish I knew more about music

First time ever listening to your music / this genre of music. I got to say its incoherent in a very coherent way. The album art helps unify it all together If that makes any sense at all. I love the soundscape it sound similar to dan terminus in some areas and the far far removed the next and for most if the album. In conclusion ... this slaps.

best birthday present i've gotten in many years

This massages the worms in my brain

i really like this but can‘t listen longer than 3 minutes because of the high frequencies :(

Oooo this reminds me of hypnagogia, love it!

yay!

AOTY material right here
