odd person – my dismal arcadia (Ingrown Records) / this one is doused in grey. I stepped away from my usual max/msp processes in this one. instead it’s all done in my DAW. turning the grid off and arranging rectangles into patterns

Body Meπa – Prayer in Dub (Hausu Mountain) / is it post-rock? math rock? fusion? all of those, to some extent. Is it dub? No, but some of the basslines are. Fascinating music – Bill Barnett
