Lizard Pants was an independent alternative folk band from Portland, Arizona, deemed widely responsible for the slogan "Keep Portland Hot & Dry".  They are one of those bands you've never heard of; then one day you're watching a documentary on Neckflicks and all of the most famous musicians in the world cite Lizard Pants as their greatest influence.

Some musings on this album: 

"Hier und Dort" (eng: Here and There) really wasn't written about anything particular or specific. All three tracks were born out of spontaneous "jams" with no set goals in mind. 
When listening back to them, contrasts between the inner and outer world, the inner dialog and outer perceptions come to my mind. For everything beyond that, you are invited to let your own thoughts and interpretations wander. 

As far as the production goes, all tracks, but especially "Hier" (Here) play with tiny snippets of sounds - derived from organic and synthesized meditations on sound, that have been recorded, cut into small pieces and rearranged - somewhat like a puzzle, trying to find interesting rhythms and tonal relationships and to assemble a coherent picture. 

"Dort" (There) opens up the sound world some more, allowing room for reverb - evoking larger spaces. To me, it feels more like a reaction to something that presents itself from the outside, rather than an introspective. It has a sudden change of perspective at about half-way, but emerges back into that external world. 

"Dazwischen" (In-between) was somewhat of a challenge, because it is derived from a somewhat less-than-perfect 4-track recording, so very little editing or volume changes between the instruments and elements of the track was possible. I liked the original, melancholic nature of the improvisation, so I kept that and played with progressively intricate edits of the whole track, as opposed to single elements.. 

As always, I tried to find a balance between detailed, "macro-editing" and a spontaneous flow as well as an element of rawness, as I feel this is what keeps the life in the music, be it electronic or organic. 

In any case, I very much hope you enjoy these pieces. If you want to share your thoughts, you a more than welcome to - I would love to read/ hear what you think. 

Be safe,

in the never ending battle/exploration that is the mungo g0 module... i had this loop going (the noise is from a wmf geiger counter module) that i thought was sort of nice... i actually forgot it was running and it ran all night in the studio.

the g0 has great potential and its idiosyncrasies often lead to moments of discovery. but it is, most of the time, a very frustrating module.

With over 100 physical releases since its inception by Taylor Deupree in 1997, New York-based music label 12k has decisively defined and developed the concept of minimalism in the realms of electronic music for more than a decade. Fusing elements from Ambient and Electro-Acoustic Composition with carefully arranged digital textures and associative micro-noises, the label's aesthetics revolve around a precisely-outlined, yet deeply emotional concoction of the technological and the organic. Eschewing the typical marketing mechanisms of the commercial music industry, Deupree has sculpted a platform whose influence today extends well beyond the confinements of the experimental community. 12k's integral approach, in which the label's instantly recognizable, elegantly spartan artwork enters into an inseparable symbiosis with the music, has created a timeless audiovisual language respected and appreciated all over the world.
