Bio-robotic WarGIANTs roam across the maximally-irradiated New Great Plains. Gangs of mutated warriors ride blood-fueled mechanical dogs through the streets of the capital city. Surgeons transform workers into hyper-efficient Flesh Cubes. Monstrous, full-body orifice modifications are not only cheap and plentiful, but required for even the most basic employment.

Narrated by the author, Aaron Winslow, Jobs of the Great Misery pulsates in the gaping orifice blown open by William Burroughs, Kathy Acker, William Gibson, and Samuel Delany.

And Weirding Module’s synth score churns with apocalyptic dread. A sonic augury of the dark days ahead, the dark days now. This is the music you blast as you relentlessly accelerate to meet the hideous future face-first, finger poised above the nitro boost button, shades on, a smirk on your face as the concrete wall looms into sight. We’re smashing through it or into it, there’s no in-between. Just gun it, kemosabe.

Think Brian Eno fresh from an acid bath; David Tibet given a full-body enhancement, except all of those new organs are stuffed with ’shrooms; Stockhausen turned into a helicopter; Klaus Schulze huffing paint fumes while trapped inside a virtual reality version of Fortnite and hunted by a 12-year-old Ukranian kid. John Cage’s and David Tudor’s Indeterminacy re-issued by Rat Fink and Immortan Joe.

By turns ambient and rhythmic, transcendent and gritty, aleatory and industrial, Weirding Module’s sonic assemblage emanates from a dream engine buried deep beneath the infernal sands of a psychedelic desert by an ancient race of cosmic spacefarers.

Jobs of the Great Misery is more than an endlessly-generating aleatory audio book with a psychedelic electronic music score.

This is life itself. In app form.
