The artist's own words about making the Drum and Bass 'Hello, Eraserhead' track:

"I want to tell you short stories about how I made tracks for my latest EP 'The Art is Getting Older’ that was released on Pinecone Moonshine. I had a unique approach toward each one of the three tracks and I thought it would be interesting if I shared this.

I will begin with ‘Hello, Eraserhead’.

It was created last year when Nic TVG shared with me a sample pack and I decided to use only the samples I had in it for my track. The pack included drum samples, free jazz recordings, some field recordings, bass samples and pads. There wasn’t a lot of stuff to use, just 250 mb. Before this, I had never worked with such a limited amount of artistic tools and at first, it was a bit hard for me to get over the fact that I can’t open a synth plug-in or browse my library to find the sound that I needed.

So I started my work by examining the samples in detail. First of all, I chose a drum sample that I liked — that was easy. Then I found a piece of a piano record and created the intro and the first drop out of it. The second drop was made based on a violin sample that played well with the drums. Still, I was struggling to make a connection between the two drops and that was the moment I felt really restricted by what I thought was the lack of artistic tools.

I went on by grabbing more and more sounds out of the pack. I also worked intensively with sound effects to make the most out of the material that I had, using my sound design skills and experience. Though I sometimes had a hard time working on this track, it came out 100 percent unique because every each second of it went through me and got reinforced by powerful emotions.

Work on this track showed me that you can do something authentic not only by working with sounds but, mostly, with yourself — by finding something new inside yourself, developing it and getting wonderful emotions and experience out of this process. I feel it has impacted my way of creating music.

When I created this experimental track, I was 100% sure Nic TVG would appreciate and accept it. This gave me the confidence to search for new approaches and not be afraid to express myself. I am extremely happy I had a chance to work with Nic TVG (Pinecone Moonshine) ! Big up!"

Majority of the tracks are melancholy collages of noise, heavily processed samples, and atmospherics driven by broken break beats and heavy sub. Free jazz, early electronics, blues, and funk are noticeable influences. ... more
