about

First in a series of archival releases assembled from jams and sketches recorded in 2020-2023. The public/performance side of my music has been on extended hiatus for a while, as my energy became
focused on raising a small child during a pandemic, but I was able to find fragments of free time to work in my studio semi-regularly and have continued to record pieces that fit thematically with my various projects (Tanuki House, Brother Blue and Ethernet, plus some collaborative work). Revisiting my recordings made over these past few years, I found some unexpected commonalities connecting tracks recorded years apart, and gradually the framework of some new collections emerged, which I hope to release over the course of the next year or so...

The Setting Sun EP attempts to capture some of the free-form energy I experienced performing live hardware dance music sets in pre-pandemic Portland OR and Seattle WA, and also incorporates many generative/random/LFO-controlled studio processes that I currently use to add complex real-time elements of chance and spontaneity to tracks.
Studio configurations varied but centered mainly on Roland TR-808 (clone), Roland TR-707, Roland R-8, Roland SH-101 (clone), Roland Alpha Juno 2, and Native Instruments FM8 virtual synth plugin, sequenced and recorded in Ableton Live.

Banging techno that grows on me after each listen. Though not 'minimal' in the genre sense, fewer but fatter sounds fill the tracks up so satisfyingly. Jeremy Jurksztowicz
