Mastered on Ableton Live

There’s actually a story behind this track… I’ve been playing at a garage gig a few days ago, and pretty miserably failed all my transitions. Most of all, I had taken the maximum guarantees by using OT Song Mode for the first time in live (hence the failure) and just couldn’t get some guts in the sound. At the end of the night, a bloody DnB DJ just kicked my ego by pointing all my defects, one by one. I just couldn’t do anything but taking it all, knowing he was damn right from A to Z.  This is a track for all people that accept vulnerability and expose themselves to the humbling danger of someone else’s conscient glaze in order to become better.

Dedicated to Lee for his words, and Maria Popova for their moving letters.

Factory Works

In memoriam Achim Szepanski (1957-2024), founder of the Mille Plateaux record label and inspiring human being.

Andrea Taeggi, Snd, Tim Hecker, Alva Noto, Andreas Tilliander, Sutekh/Rrose, Pole... Many of my heroes were found on the Clicks & Cuts compilations or on the Mille Plateaux label.

Such sounds brought me depth.
Peace.
Space...

So much left to discover.
Thank you for the amazing legacy!

--- Production notes
SY: Digitone > CMX1978
FX: Microcosm > GenLoss2 > Empress Reverb
BPM: 93 as the year 1000 Plateaux was created

I started with the abstract beats that I love so much in the work of the artists cited above.
Trying to give most percussions their own sound…
Until I reached the limit of capacity of the machine.
Then I added some sad yet cheerful synth in the background…
To get the mix of sadness and closure that I can feel when someone has passed whose work I admire and will forever keep living in my heart.

Feels like I fell upon LEM's somatik techno sound signature. 
But it gets pretty angry. Greta angry. 
Keep on kicking their arses, sister. We all wish we had such guts.
