New release: Kuddelmuddel

 

KUDDELMUDDELInfluences… Lykke Li, CHVRCHES, Crystal Castles, Electric Youth, Zola Jesus, Hundred Waters, Jessie Ware, Chairlift, The Chromatics, Metronomy… A little bit of Dum Dum Girls, Todd Terje, Liars, Wild Nothing, Beach House or Daft Punk’s “Discovery”. It may contain traces of OMD, New Order and Grauzone.

I cannot add much in this description that can not be seen from influences.

Ethereal pads working as sound bed, motives and melodies on synth, reverb guitars, drum machines that seem suspended in time, arpeggiated basses, side chaining to highlight the bass drum… Soft rhythms, but not much. Dance Music, but without excess.

betterwithmusic’s warehouse

There are work orders that turn out fine and there are those that don’t. The latter, compositions fallen behind, are the ones populating betterwithmusic’s warehouse. A few end up published in the library, others are delivered in some portfolio. But the majority are kept safe, waiting for a second chance or a new suit.

One example is this “Something Epic”, once tailored for an online action game. It is also the last job I did with my “old” Nuendo.
