1. Lost Things (Cascade dub)
2. La Palma (1984 CIA Factbook mix)
3. BASIC language

Bonus outtakes (13.8 MB zip archive):

1. Tight house - has more variation in the original that didn’t export
2. Untitled (2008-02-03) - didn’t fit well in the overall mix

In recent weeks, I’ve been rediscovering the state of minimal techno and micro house music. (Aside from playing in the background while I work, I don’t actively listen to much dance music these days.) Doing so makes me want to strip down my device chains in Live to focus more on each individual part. Looking back, I had a tendency with my early music to mask my inexperience by over complicating the mix. This led to a sculptural, effects heavy, wall-of-sound approach (which I still like). But, simplicity —i.e. making things simple(r)—has been my mantra in recent years. I expect more reflections of this trend in my audio and visual work.

I have uploaded a mix of recent unreleased music (50 minutes, 87.37 MB MP3) for your enjoyment.
