CHICHU (彳亍) , which means walking slowly, is the debut EP by Mønochef on Briefnote Records. Mønochef got inspiration with a series of photos by his friends which one of them were used as in EP’s artwork. These photos, shot by Mønochef’s friend, seen by him in gallery, are collage artwork from one photo of one mountain, similar with Mønochef’s producing creativeness in electronic music.

Mønochef states, usually, traditional Asian music, such as music of Gu Qin, is in a kind of quiet mood, on the contrary, EDM is always with grooves. However, if you stand on the side of artistic conception, the music of Gu Qin is a kind mood that keep flowing, keep changing notes, mood and grooves, oppositely, EDM is one of the genres based on loop, which will be seen as a kind of steady sounds comparatively. As the combination, CHICHU, or walking slowly, is an appropriate description in word.

Yinyun, second song in release, which means smog flowing, contains melody of Xun, a traditional Asian instrument as Gu Qin, recorded by Mønochef only for this song to pushing out the minimal techno groove. Recording lots of melody but just use one, the “less is more” thoughtfulness is the fundamental of creativeness of Mønochef.

Mønochef is a music producer, sound designer and piano teacher in Toronto. Graduated from major of music production, producing minimal techno sound.

20170601 Essential  Mix for Briefnote 2 EP

Mønochef is a Toronto based electronic musician, the way he describes himself is very much a metaphor for the way he creates music.

He blurs the boundaries of noise, sound and music, by sampling and matching different elements from daily life--TTC chimps, pedestrian buttons at traffic lights and chirps of birds upon the sky along with noises of subway trapped underground. Everything around him has its rhythm and he creates a way to make them joyous and vibrant works of art.

Behind his minimal techno style and progressively dense productions, what you can feel is not only the sound of Toronto, but also his, yours and everybody's life in Toronto.
