Release Info:
This sampler cd is available exclusively from Big Fish Audio mailorder: http://www.bigfishaudio.com/.
Recording Info:
Within the booklet that comes with this release, the disc has been catalogued into nine different sections. The liner notes state: "On this CD you will find nine categories, each of which represents styles or sounds reflected in my music during my existence on this planet. These categories are for guidance only, and to please my aesthetic sensibilities."
"You many find certain loops out of place or perhaps better located in another category. The truth is that those categories are considered "peaks" (or points of reference) in a continuum of what music and sound mean to me. All the samples on this CD have one thing in common: they were entirely generated on a digital level, using a very minimalist set-up. Each loop is the product of many production steps: resampling, editing, reprogramming, etc., using and abusing the architecture and structure of digital equipment, clicks, digital filter resonances, distortion, clipping, etc. - usually considered to be unwanted artifacts - are the core of this aesthetic, which aims to develop binary beauty instead of emulating analog sounds. Whenever you think this CD or your CD player is broken you can be sure that I have programmed it this way. Many of the loops you will find on "Atomizer™" are actually unquantized and played by hand, not using the rigid timing grids of modern electronic music. Other loops have been generated by throwing virtually any raw material into the sampler and using its architecture to produce the rhythm. All loops have been sequenced on the Akai MPC3000, thus BPMs indicated refer to its midi clock speed, which may differ slightly from other midi clock speeds."
The nine categories are:
Tracks #1 - #9: "slo motion™"
Tracks #10 - #15: "dig-hop™"
Tracks #16 - #23: "8-bit boogie™"
Tracks #24 - #33: "cut 'n' paste™"
Tracks #34 - #43: "supertropical™"
Tracks #44 - #52: "scientific freestyle™"
Tracks #53 - #61: "repetitive digital noise™"
Tracks #62 - #71: "world shuffle™"
Tracks #72 - #78: "percussion o.d.™"
Within each programmed cd track there are between three and six individual sampling pieces that are obviously separate from each other, but have been grouped together in the same track.
