JOHN MAUS lives in his birthplace of Austin, Minnesota. Whilst working towards his PhD in Political Science, he also composes music that taps into melancholic fantasy and affirms that we are all truly alive. Questing synthesizers, tensely strung bass lines and chasing drum machines providing the perfect backdrop for John's deeply resonant reverb-drenched vocal. Born in the decade of synth pop and sharing his birthday with George Frideric Handel, John started making music when Nirvana posters went up on every teenager’s wall. It’s this curious conflux of influences that partially helps to describe John’s music. It’s a world where the Germs jam with Jerry Goldsmith, Cabaret Voltaire relocate to Eternia and Josquin des Prez writes a new score for RoboCop. The confrontation of punk, the fleeting poignancy of 80’s movie soundtracks, the insistent pulse of Moroder and the spirituality of Medieval and Baroque music all find salvation in John Maus.

We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves breaks new ground for Maus. The shirt pulling and air punching of his impassioned live performance is finally captured in all its frenzied appeal alongside a tender inner space that wasn’t as apparent on his previous albums. It’s a record where promise takes the lead for the first time, providing a counterpoint to John’s default existential calling.

John Maus - Keep Pushing On

In To The Wilderness

Highlights the 105m, the drone loop the track is built over is processed with a percussive setting, and the only overdub is another percussive voice, in this case a looping preset on the Sub Phatty (bank 1, preset 2) feeding the sync on the 107 which in turn is run through the 105m to create hand drum-like patterns, which were sped up & down to follow the motion of the piece. The drum feel is augmented by feeding that signal through 108m to accent different resonances of the tone. Slow animation of the 105m across the main track (with mix & envelope around 7 & rate at 2) creates a subtly shifting stereo signal from the Sub Phatty's mono output.

Whitebear - Bardo (Halfred Remix)

A quick set of soundclips I put together, to demo the sound of the new Moog Mother 32 Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer. This is only using a single Moog Mother 32, Strymon Big Sky for reverb, and a Eventide Timefactor for delay. No compression, EQ, or mastering of any kind. During most of the tracks, I remove the FX at one point or another so you can hear the sounds of the Mother 32 as she is.

I hope you enjoy!
