The Assignment: Record a track in honor of the late Achim Szepanski.

Background: Achim Szepanski (1957-2024), founder of the Mille Plateaux record label, among numerous other accomplishments, died this week. This project is in his honor. You needn’t know much if anything to begin this project; just follow the instructions. As always, discussion of the topic at hand in the project’s llllllll.co message thread is encouraged.

Step 1: Listen back to the first Clicks + Cuts compilation album (originally released in 2020). It is streaming on YouTube (the first hour or so of that playlist).

Step 2: Consider the common elements in various tracks: the glitch effects, the sense of space, the attention to tiny details, the industrial minimalism, the emphasis on sampling, the tempo, the groove. What else do you hear?

Step 3: Record a track in the spirit of that first Clicks + Cuts album.

Welcome to halF unusuaL, an evolving project inspired by the playful spirit of ‘hai’ (meaning “fun” or “unusual” in the word haiku). Here, improvisation meets the unexpected, exploring the boundary between music and non-music to shape soundscapes that feel familiar yet foreign. Listen freely, explore deeply, and if you’d like to see these sounds come to life, stop by the YouTube channel. Thank you for joining the journey! Your support helps keep this soundworld spinning. 🥰
