I really liked his dense, gritty textures found on 'Empty the Bones of You' and attempted to emulate a little bit of that in this track. The opening bar is me beatboxing into a MicroKorg vocoder. I made heavy use of pitch shifting and time stretching within the track.

This particular brand of Louis' music is harder - and of course dubbier - than his more pastoral pieces under fwdthought.

This was a track I made after seeing Plaid play in San Francisco a few years ago. nbsp;It's an oldie, but I was inspired by Plaid's technique of having really fast, rhythmic percussion in the cymbal/hi-hat frequency range with other rhythms in the lower percussive ranges (like kicks and even snares) slowly merging in to their mixes - this is typified in the 'Spokes' era shows. nbsp;'Chud'* is a little bit of this technique mixed with a dubby bassline and an underlying hip-hop beat. *Oh yeah, and the title for the track - 'Chud' is just the first thing that came to mind because I (oddly?) had the movie poster of the movie with the same name in my head as I was thinking up a name (is there a better way to explain that grammatically?).

I was 23 and think I'd had a bad trip on some wierd mushrooms I ate. Ended up wandering around the streets of San Francisco gibbering to myself, freezing cold, wondering how I'd stumbled out of the club. Once back in though, I had an amazing time. I'd seen Squarepusher a few times before and this was by far, his best performance. He was really 'with' the crowd for this show. At first, he started off with some staple favorites and slowly built up to a more and more intense show util at one point, there were maybe 200 people left in the Mezzanine. I guess he'd scared most of the other folks off by the intense strobes, noise and utter craziness of his set. However, as if taking a que from the thinned out audience, those that remained were treated to an AMAZINGLY, beautiful set. He took things down a notch (relatively) and began playing some fresh, very melodic stuff reference Miles Davis and John Coltrane throughout. I'm not too familiar with these musicians, though the person I was with was pretty familiar (being a music major at UC Santa Cruz at the time). An utterly wonderful show. The following piece was created shortly after. I remember being really tuned in to a lot of the techniques he was trying out on stage and wanted to try automating some MIDI control parameters in what was then, Reason 2.0 in creating this track. I forget most of my technique for creating this track, but I do know that only 1 or two samples were used. The drums I recorded and programmed myself. All of the sweeps and LFO I 'drew' in. I also playe a lot with upping the feedback on the delay effects within Reason. I completed this track, in one sitting, in a day. I was pretty inspired by that Squarepusher show. What do you think?

This is a song I wrote nearly 4 years ago.nbsp; I think I've gotten all the arrangement down for it, and I'm happy with the sounds though I wonder if there might be a few things to fineacute;sse.nbsp; There's a brief bridge in the middle of the song (made with my Alesis Micron) that I've sometimes wanted to re-record though perhaps it's enough?

I don't think this song is really connected to it. In fact, it's not. I was feeling pretty mellow and simultaneously inspired. Enjoy.
