My entry for Everything Everything's #PizzaBoyRemix competition. Please enquire if you would prefer a version with pineapple.

Everything Everything - 'Pizza Boy (Mute Branches Standard Margherita Remix)'

Made this about a year ago; re-watching Fargo last night, I thought I'd post it up.

Samples 'Dance of the Sierra' by Carter Burwell, from the Fargo OST

Waltz Park

Came up with this quickly while working on a different track made from the same source recording.

The Slow Light

Short, creeping sorta track (quite influenced by Grouper). May possibly be just what you were looking to fit snugly between 'Tubular Bells' and 'The Monster Mash' in yr Halloween playlist.

The Strangest Sense Of Deja Vu

The title track from Mute Branches' 'Mountebank' single, available on Bandcamp for the price of whatever you want to pay for it:

The Fireworks Party (WIP)

My contribution to Squarepusher's global collaborative project: MIDI SANS FRONTIÈRES, the details of which are here: http://www.squarepusher.net/

MIDI SANS FRONTIÈRES

eerie-sounding experiment put together for Halloween; utilises an old guitar w a broken volume dial, Ableton's various sampler functions, recordings of low-wave radio, some effects

Huh? Radio?

Second time uploading cause the file had a bit cut off at the end, which I suppose was kind of ironic considering the presence of "perfect" in the title (though said "imperfection" was ironed out in the "future", so....)

Futureperfect

I've been looking forward to sharing this for a while now.

Ominous drones, layers of guitar / synth noise, and warped foley recordings combine to create the score for Mat Hammond's folk-horror film 'Wrek', available to watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WupLj-3cboo

Wrek (Film Score)

My tangentially seasonal track for 2017.

You can get some right Christmassy-sounding bell sounds from the Yamaha PSS-570; and its dustiness probably exacerbated the cold symptoms that are a fundamental part of my Winter experience. Extreme seasonal relevance!

Fog Halo Inverted County

War Tundra

Old interpretation / cover of 'Olson' by Boards of Canada that I recorded a few years ago.

Early happy new year, to you all!

Olsen (Boards of Canada cover)

I tried to do something like what I did with the Can song a while back, utilising the MicroKORG and KAOSS Pad. I recorded it better and did a bit of tweaking in Ableton, so the murky bits are (slightly more) intentionally so.

My somewhat abstracted entry to Jane Hearst's competition 
(details here: https://twitter.com/JaneHearst/status/1256649082568953857)

Field Of Daisies (Versus Language)

I've been working a lot with samples recently. Mostly just making quite short instrumental hip-hop-style stuff. Such experimentation yielded this remix of Masayoshi Fujita's 'Snow Storm' (from his album 'Stories')

'Stories' is available from Flau Records -- http://www.flau.jp/releases/31_jp.html
and Fujita is also on Soundcloud here -- https://soundcloud.com/elfog/

Also, I have a bunch of EPs on http://mutebranches.bandcamp.com for anyone who's interested.

Masayoshi Fujita - Snow Storm (Mute Branches Remix)

Hopefully to be released on an EP soon, here (http://mutebranches.bandcamp.com). Maybe July/August time, but maybe much much later.

The lo-fi sound of small towns.

Mute Branches is the project of James Cresswell. Based in the West Midlands, Mute Branches' music has become primarily occupied with evoking certain spaces through sound – the places that emerge when memory and imagination are mapped over the real world, the places you can't go back to.
