Merry Christmas. Here's what I got you... Bill Frisell meets Ornette Coleman in a Cuisinart: http://www.altruistmusic.com/soundfiles/bookworm.mp3 Aphex Twin's secret pygmy rainforest project (and a perennial Kim Flint lick at the very beginning): http://www.altruistmusic.com/soundfiles/flux.mp3 Ambient looping takes on Glitch-core (and a good fight it is): http://www.altruistmusic.com/soundfiles/gestalt.mp3 A mournful and melodic thing indeed, yes it is: http://www.altruistmusic.com/soundfiles/hushed.mp3 Pop song from mars with hooks to match: http://www.altruistmusic.com/soundfiles/instant.np3 Shouldn't have left that New Age CD out in the sun: http://www.altruistmusic.com/soundfiles/smalldrama.mp3 A meditative twitch: http://www.altruistmusic.com/soundfiles/spastic.mp3 THIS IS: -- entirely live, one-take, unedited, no overdubs, blah blah blah... -- improvised, occasionally with loose parameters (or tight lack of parameters) -- EDP plus guitar, with only a smidge of reverb on the stereo mix as far as effects are concerned -- an attempt at a post-IDM, post-turntablism approach to looping -- trying to work with looping in a constantly evolving, dynamic, non-repetitive (!) format which extends from and reacts to my playing, rather than statically sitting there and, um, looping over and over again -- the sound of me kicking and screaming against my own reliance on the ambient looping genre (and, on some of these, the sound of that paradigm being literally torn apart) I have no idea what this sounds like anymore, but I hope you enjoy it (as long as you don't mind strange looks from your neighbors). --Andre LaFosse http://www.altruistmusic.com
