Antipode v.01

I have uploaded the first draft of a recent track I’ve been kicking around, Antipode (v.01) (10:55min, 22.2Mb MP3) for your consideration. At the moment, I’m digging some of the spacious things happening in the background. I’m not so happy with some of the more rigid rhythmic elements, but I thought I’d offer a peek at a work-in-progress.

Postcards

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.
