In memoriam Achim Szepanski (1957-2024), founder of the Mille Plateaux record label and inspiring human being.

Andrea Taeggi, Snd, Tim Hecker, Alva Noto, Andreas Tilliander, Sutekh/Rrose, Pole... Many of my heroes were found on the Clicks & Cuts compilations or on the Mille Plateaux label.

Such sounds brought me depth.
Peace.
Space...

So much left to discover.
Thank you for the amazing legacy!

--- Production notes
SY: Digitone > CMX1978
FX: Microcosm > GenLoss2 > Empress Reverb
BPM: 93 as the year 1000 Plateaux was created

I started with the abstract beats that I love so much in the work of the artists cited above.
Trying to give most percussions their own sound…
Until I reached the limit of capacity of the machine.
Then I added some sad yet cheerful synth in the background…
To get the mix of sadness and closure that I can feel when someone has passed whose work I admire and will forever keep living in my heart.

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.

My notes:
I had not heard of the label, but was familiar with some of the artists on that compilation. I enjoyed the music and it was fun to try and make something inspired it. I used various samples including my handpan, camera, bathtub and water sounds from a Mr. Bill sample pack. The only non-sample part was is the bass track, which is from Ableton Drift synth. Processed the handpan samples with the excellent PitchLoop89 device in Ableton.
I imagined attempts at taking photos of, under and around water as this evolved.
