So @bobbyhillrealness is doing a zine on artists among their friends and family, and has sent us questions to answer about our art. One of the questions is, "Three songs that would describe your work?"

I figured I'd share my answer on here too. I'll do three songs that have been/are influential to my music, and three of my own that I look at as moments where it felt like things clicked for me.

Nine Inch Nails - Vessel: Year Zero was my first NIN album. Trent and Radiohead are probably the two groups that after being raised on major label top 40s as a child, and well into my teens, really made me pay attention to aspects of being an artist that I had never considered. There's a Thom York quote about Radiohead opening for R.E.M., and how while musically R.E.M. aren't a huge influence on Radiohead, being around R.E.M. showed them how to carry themselves as a band. Both NIN and Radiohead have had nasty battles with record labels in the past. Trent has been trying to put out a live DVD since 2008. His ex record label, which he hasn't been on since 2007, has blocked each attempt. In 2008, he "helped" fans sneak cameras into multiple shows. He then "leaked" his personal audio recordings of those shows online. The fans made and distributed their own DVD. Both bands, in different ways, taught me to value the creative process. As for the song in general, I had never heard anything like that at the time. That song, and the album in general, really made me pay attention to what I was listening to. I started questioning what I was listening to, and wondering how it was made. After years of listening to Trent's music, the thing I've noticed is that he is very good at fitting noisy, experimental sounds, tones and ideas into compact pop music structure. Closer sounds like a children's merry go round in hell. My Movement modular synth was built to sound like Vessel.

DJ Shadow - Stem/Long Stem: Every song on this album is made up of samples from other songs. So the drums might be from one song, the bass from another, a guitar sample from one place, a piano sample from another, and so on. Earlier, I'm referencing an answer to another question not mentioned in this post, I spoke about how I gather scraps from everyday life for my art, particularly for my writing. Shadow is the musical equivalent, gathering samples from all over the musical spectrum to build new compositions. I think of art like papier-mâché. You take small pieces and build towards a grander piece. Trent and Miles Davis, when he was alive, worked in a similar way to Shadow, except instead of using other people's samples. They record their bands playing, and then chop up, sample, and rearrange their own recordings. That's where I'm at with my music now.

Yellow Swans - Going Places & Pan Sonic - Teurastamo: Yellow Swans and Pan Sonic are groups I've learned about in recent years. Both have influenced my music in different ways. Yellow Swans are noisy, walls of sound. When I first started building the modular, the goal was to build a drone machine. As I built it, the Daft Punk fan in me also wanted a say in its construction. There was a point where I found these two influences to be conflicting. I have always loved Daft Punk's Rollin' & Scratchin'. While that song is a good example of that combination, I imagined noise damaged dance music, equally indebted to both styles. Pan Sonic made dance music, but they were equally interested in harsh noise. Early Yellow Swans incorporates drums and at times sounds like really aggressive '90s Busta Rhymes beats. I haven't really looked up what either band's creative process was, but through listening, I've picked up things that I've attempted to try with the tools and knowledge available to me.

As for my own music.

December: There's a joke among modular synth users. There are multiple formats of modular. The version I use is named Eurorack. It's been nicknamed by some as Eurocrack. This is from 2017. It was the first of my now monthly State of the Artist patch. I was less than a year into everything at that point, and was spending money on modules unsure if I actually had talent, or if it was the money hiding deficiencies. Looking back, that was a very simple patch, but my inexperience made it a good teaching moment. I think that was the first thing I made that made me feel like it wasn't the money. Honestly, at times it has been money holding me back, but a lot of times it's just been inexperience, which is resolved with time, and the lack of ability to transfer thoughts into tangible art. I feel like your creative process is learning how to overcome that hurdle.

The Future: This was April 2020. I had just gotten the music computer right before Christmas and was still learning my way around. I had formed an early process when working on the computer, and was working at getting more comfortable with it. This is a very simple track. It's just a short sequence repeating over and over while I manipulate the filter type and filter cutoff. I'm very interested in catharsis through art. This was an attempt at something like Nils Frahm's Says.

Nature Walk Daydream: This is longer than it needs to be, but oh well. This is from April, and it really conveys the DJ Shadow everything goes in the pot thinking I spoke about earlier. This starts with multiple loops of birds I recorded early one morning. Eventually, a synth that resembles the bird calls joins in. As the song slowly unfolds, drums come in and the bird calls become a part of a beat. The idea for the song is that you're taking a walk through the woods and begin to daydream. When it goes back to just the birds, it's you being snapped out of the daydream.

DU™️ Bloko Ono - Kev’s Dead @rian.blokoono [TRACK: MACC05] ⚙️ OU̅͗T̖͉̍͟ ̳̫̓̄ͅN͍O͔͚Ẃ͚̹́ 🥁 https://detund.bandcamp.com/album/kev-s-dead Taking influence from 90’s electronica, IDM, techno and breakbeat, “Kev’s Dead” is the culmination of a youth spent drumming along to the likes of Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada and Autechre; layering intricate, glitchy rhythms and an often aggressive energy against an ambient bed of warped tape loops and blissed out harmonies. This contrast of light vs dark makes for a nostalgic yet distinctly contemporary listen.

It’s payday, the sun is shining and we’ve just received a new batch of the @fraptools dual 16 band spectral editor, Fumana An all analog filter bank with various controls to dynamically access the bands. Each filter bank is composed of an array of 16 independent 48dB / Oct bandpass filters. Two identical filter arrays allows you to use one for spectral analysis and the other for spectral re-synthesis. Grouped into odd and even bands, it is possible to apply different signals to the odd and even bands, both for the main or modulator arrays. Vocoding, parametric scanning, tilt control, outputs for all the 16 bandpass filters, 16 envelope followers….. this behemoth of a module has the ability to do so much more in your system than just filtering ⁠ #BlickenSynths #FrapTools #Fumana #FixedFilterBank #Vocoder #ParametricScanner #BackInStock #Restocks #Eurorack #EurorackModular #EurorackSynth #Eurocrack #Modular #ModularSynthesizer #ModularSynthesizers #ModularSynth #ModularSynths #ModularSynthesis #Synthesizers #Synthesizer #Synths #Synth #SynthPorn #ElectronicMusic #IndependentRetailer #ModularIsLife #UK #Webstore #InternetShopping #ShippingNow (at Chelmsford, Essex) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbhh3rmtIT3/?utm_medium=tumblr
