you asked me to come
for electronics (2023)

This piece began life as a song for voice and piano based on E.E. Cummings' eponymous poem. However, I decided to subject my entire setting to a sort of cubist treatment and it resulted in a piece for fixed electronics with percussion sounds. 

Here is the poem:

you asked me to come:it was raining a little,
and the spring;a clumsy brightness of air
wonderfully stumbled above the square,
little amorous-tadpole people wiggled

battered by stuttering pearl,
                                leaves jiggled
to the jigging fragrance of newness
—and then.  My crazy fingers liked your dress
….your kiss,your kiss was a distinct brittle

flower,and the flesh crisp set
my love-tooth on edge.  So until light
each having each we promised to forget—

wherefore is there nothing left to guess:
the cheap intelligent thighs,the electric trite
thighs;the hair stupidly priceless.

you asked me to come, for electronics (2023)

Manchester-based producer and visual artist - catch92 provides another insight to his forthcoming album ‘Patchwork’ in the shape of the classic soul-tinged sample flipping track ‘Anor’.

Coming via Asta Hiroki's Folded Music imprint the album is a melting pot of hip hop beats, jazzy bumps, and downtempo electronica on his first full-length for the label -with ‘Anor’ a standout from the bunch.

When creating, catch92 uses any and every production method at his disposal, with the overarching ethos of being entirely open to exploring any musical avenue and not worrying about maintaining a specific sound, instrument, or narrative throughout the collection.

Starting life as a handful of sample chops and a break thrown together he arranged a basic idea to perform at the regular Workinonit hip hop event. After road testing it to a great reaction, the idea captured his imagination as to what it could become and he reworked the project to its current state - a high-quality soulful beat a la J Dilla’s ‘Donuts’, or the widespan creations of Madlib, and Knxwledge.

Despite the bittersweet nature of the music there is still room for a smile, with the title is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the vocal sample which sounds to say “I Know” through a Yorkshire accent - which the producer is fond of.

Having steadily gained a reputation as one of the most interesting names working with leftfield hip hop styles catch92 has received praise and regular spins on BBC 6 Music, FIP, Couleur 3, RadioEins, and across the Radio Campus network, in addition to some big placements on key Spotify hip hop editorial playlists.

Patchwork

Anor

You're a little like lightning
after a storm
You're a little bit frightening
I thought you were gone

You're back, you're wild
You're strange, you never change

You tease me
Need me
Breathe me
so I won't drown
You fly in
You're all in
til I try to
pin you
pin you down

I'll never
Will I ever
pin you down

You're a midnight craving
when I'm trying to sleep
You're the misbehaving
Don't want but I need

You're back, you're wild
You're strange, you never change

You tease me
Need me
Breathe me
so I won't drown
You fly in
You're all in
til I try to
pin you
pin you down

You are instructive
for the me that's self-destructive

You tease me
Need me
Breathe me
so I won't drown
You fly in
You're all in
til I try to
pin you
pin you down

You tease me
Need me
Breathe me
so I won't drown
You fly in
You're all in
til I try to
pin you
pin you down

I'll never
Will I ever
pin you down
