Square Bassoon ~ Five Fires LP ~ 12" Vinyl

this unreleased remix was written from 2am to 4am, August 2015. I noticed the sample pack and downloaded it straight away. Had to get up early so did it quick, but really like the result. Rolando has some great tunes, easy to pick some bits and write around it. I used my ms20, 909, Ensoniq esq1 and midiverb 2.0 on this one. Oh and the mc202 for the constant acid line which is barely noticeable, except when the other parts take a break. Photo from dad's 70's collection, he shot a lot of fine photos around then, think this one was from his electronics repair business.

This track has 2 sampled pianos (I recorded them at my commercial studio space). One is out of tune and also a bit of an esq1 Ensoniq pad vibe, plus! some Foley i recorded in Norway in 2011 with my zoom h4) ... I want to write a release with mainly sampled acoustic instruments, written with faint lofi synth back drop. Like for a film.

From September 2015, I was watching this during its creation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GjKETtkSlc       ... i used a lot of automation on the snare and hats to break up the static nature of the chosen sounds, snare is from my 606 which is playing up, the hat is open all the time, and even when i have it turned down it comes through a touch, so with a gate on, you still get a bit more noise in the snare, ha. Oh and this photo is my mum, mid 70's, photo by dad .. song 117a

thank you to Paul Erntges for putting this release together via his label, Hauch. Limited to 100 12" Vinyls, a selection of Tidy Kid songs, from 2006 to 10. Full details up here. https://mrtidykid.bandcamp.com/album/selected-works-06-10

"most people conceive of music and painting as distinct entities. the former is what you hear, the latter is what you see. you may look at something while listening to something else, or you can listen to something while looking at something else. the distinction seems clear-cut, but is it, though? because for some people, their perception begs to differ. to them, imagery and soundscapes intertwine. visuals vibrate their eardrums, while sounds generate colours and shapes, for after all - it's just wavelengths. marly lüske wants his vibrancy to arrange like sketches on canvas. each of his almost ten releases extrapolates such a serial approach, like an exhibition: in which every image expects a next step, yet can be all by itself; a bit interwoven, but none of the 16 tracks on "selected works" is nebulous or trancy; it is more like watching a work of art proceed. a tag like "electro-acoustic" implies a kind of multi-layering that still recognizes each layer. foreground, background, focus: like a picture, grasping the whole, yet relating each element to one another - the synthetic code. and like a picture, the gist of tidy kid's music draws from both sequence and synchronicity. you become the work as you produce its perception. by avoiding to be overwhelming or arbitrary, tidy kid moves towards an intelligent dance music; not just lo-fi, always considerate. dancing, smart - a smart dance. his work is comprehensible yet surprising, as it goes beyond understanding. a childlike approach, but without immaturity - more like an asset of its becoming. as if you were to re-experience something, in a new light. reminiscent of pop, always experimental, out and striving to walk a fine line between art and everyday. lo-fi, thus defined, is originality; a music that is self-contained. no simulation. no servitude to whatever patterns spook around the airwaves. every instrumentality discloses both its boundaries and capabilities. a one-take will capture the moment, truly, beyond perfection. a nylon-guitar does exhibit this softness, which blurs the edges. you see and hear things unfold, seperate from one another - in order to re-engage. the music sucks you in, rather than that it strikes a chord; you're under a spell, summoned by ancient story-tellers. "selected works" gives a kind interim result, thus allowing to triangulate its character, illuminating in stories like 'social butter' or 'coma for dogs'. this is what it would sound like, if a dadaist decided to not exhaust meaning in provocation, but to produce something in and of itself." (georg seeßlen) edition of 100 numbered units, comes in hand-stamped (actually four different stamps) disco bag. compiling tracks from 2006 - 2010 that were only digitally distributed before, the 12" also contains a square 12" paper inlay featuring a picture of the painting "geisterfisch im positiven sprung" by meike conrad-janssen and the credits.
