Springform - disquiet0483

For this challenge, Type Set, I used the sound of a keyboard typing the first two stanza's of Edgar Allan Poe's, 'The Raven' .  The typing was performed and recorded by my close collaborator, JC Petkovich, who used a JD40 which he built and dropped into a CNC'ed aluminum case. JC also added foam between the PCB and case to dampen the noise, the switches are Aqua Zilent switches which are also very quiet. The keyboard recording was then processed using Supercollider to "tune" the key sounds using a band pass filter. In addition,  recordings of raindrops as well ravens were also similarly processed and used in the final piece. The work was assembled and mixed in Ableton Live 10 and some software instruments were added.

Today we’re proud to officially welcome the Menopausal Hound Dog to Bricolage. 

Over the years, the Manchester based producer, has carefully sculpted his own take on experimental music under various aliases but returns to the MHD pseudonym for his debut on Bricolage. 

“Audible Smote” is 4 tracks of playful yet angular electronics that may at first seem minimal but on closer inspection are layered with lots of tiny details jostling for your listening attention. It gently glides along the mellow side of the spectrum but the unusual sounds, arrangements and progression keep things more than interesting throughout. Glitchy, understated percussion, idiosyncratic melodic elements and an ear for unique tonal textures set the mood of “Audible Smote” from the offset and make it an essential addition to our back catalogue here at Bricolage.

We’ve long sought after a stand-alone release from the prodigious Devras Plexi here at Bricolage and today we get our wish with a six track audio kaleidoscope in the shape of his new “frequent inspirational chore” EP. 

It’s a bright and complex body of work that combines a colourful blend of prismatic textures that are slowly becoming symbolic to the stimulating productions of the Austin native. This EP sees him merge his distinctive tones and sound palettes together with glitchy elements and intricate, shifting melodic patterns. Ever morphing beats and that sense of dreamlike warmth, that he so often delivers with ease, take the sounds to another level as we get a glimpse into the world of an ambitious and colourful mind.

Devras Plexi - Something We Dreamt (from the "frequent inspirational chore" EP)

Here at Bricolage we pride ourselves on unearthing musical gems in the form of under the radar producers and our latest diamond in the rough is as close to home as you can get....

Today we’re proud to unveil the debut EP from Glaswegian producer, Justin Case. 

“You Matter!” is full of unconventional but digestible rhythms straight out of the mid 90’s golden era of IDM and electronic exploration. Crunchy beats and abstract structures battle for supremacy with off kilter bass and refined sound design. There’s elements of glitch, elastic ambient and breaks that bubble away under the surface but the main light that shines throughout all 4 tracks is that of a vibrant musical exuberance that is near impossible not to enjoy, with the closing track ‘Napali’ being a prime example of Justin’s colourful side and knack for stunning melodic hooks.

This is just the start of what is sure to be an exciting musical journey for this promising producer. Be sure to join him at the start of the trip.

Justin Case - Napali (from the "You Matter!" EP)

Minerva has infused many different styles into her musical concoctions over the years. Never one to shy away from extreme experimentation  and on "Buzzkill" it's safe to say she's went full on mad scientist. It's almost like three tracks in one. A musical maze that has no idea where it begins, goes or ends. The perfect track for "Retcon".

The album is officially released on 31/8/18
