My album Weta & Weta was released today on English microlabel Rusted Tone Recordings.
The album spans several different styles, but I tried to adhere to a few basic ideas throughout:

  • layering as few simultaneous voices as possible (I’d say most tracks are two to five layers at a given moment);
  • an emphasis on my modular setup as the main instrument (otherwise, it’s mostly max4live);
  • recording material to cassette tape prior to editing;
  • avoiding overly serious posturing - trying out a few absurd ideas (though some of it is a bit dramatic)

I’d recommend it if you like choral / organ samples, granulation, field recordings and very rubbery modular patches.

Mastered by Dino Spilutini. My friend B.Quinn did the weta illustration.

Edit - in case anybody is wondering, the modules doing the heavy lifting on this album are:

  • Reflex LiveLoop
  • g0
  • Two Princess
  • Tropical Noise
  • Pitchshaper
  • Rampage
  • 329 Phase/Flange

Hey guys just wanted to share my recent tape release! My friend described it as reimagined earthbound cave music… which I think is oddly fitting.

Just finished this album made entirely from Ciat Lonbarde instruments. All songs made while doing an artist’s residency at the Sou’wester Lodge in Long Beach, Washington this summer. It was super fun just bringing up wooden toys and keeping things super simple.

Anyways, here it is!

And my setup at the cabin:

Ah, this thread is fantastic! I’m on my phone right now and am itching to get back to a decent set of speakers so I can listen to all this new (to me) music!

@kin.sventa I actually happened upon your stuff already. “Mastered by Odd Nosdam” is such a guaranteed way to get my attention and it’s great to make your acquaintance here. Also 77 Rise are friends with the tape label I release material via - I Had An Accident which operates out of Spokane, WA. It’s home to so many of my favourite producers: Tenshun, Psychopop, Son of a Bricklayer, Heavy Twelves, Sinking Swimmer, John Pain, Black Monologs, Bongchops, Mhaze and so on.

Not big on promoting, but in the interest of maybe selling copies of my tapes that my buddy put money into, my two tapes on Obsolete Staircases made the list. @MengQiMusic 's tape on OS is also here.
