[ACGPCMS2020 - Holographic 12"] Neither Here nor There

The final track from the A Cosmic Gift/PCMS split 12" by Nic TVG pulls many of the recurring sounds found on Pinecone Moonshine with a focus on one Funk break and one Jazz break.

Nic TVG's drum and bass EP, "From 22 to 6", arrives on the 15th anniversary of Pinecone Moonshine. Combining sounds from second-hand store records and field recordings, the EP is in the style of drumfunk (putting natural drum kits in the forefront). Remixes add variety as VT.inno and K-Chaos break up the emphasis on drum edits with acid basslines and halftime drum and bass.

[PCMSNT006] Back Up Your Files (Intro)

Pinecone Moonshine NT 006
Nic TVG - Sampling

Sampling is a group of tracks from the last couple of years which represent simplifying and remaining mobile. Restrictions were set on selecting and processing samples from records and field recordings. And by being mobile, these pieces reflect where they were and when they were written: 
09_13_2012 - a sunny, summer afternoon in Southern California. 
Ease of Streets - a hotel room in New York looking out at an empty city block late at night. 
Tomato Seeds – on and off through my move from Louisiana to California. 
The Dog Who Walked on Windowsills - my brother's kitchen table in the morning. 
Continuous - a laundromat which was previously a historic recording studio.

Released 02 March 2015.
Mastered by Macc.

Nic TVG - Putting a Glass Away
https://pineconemoonshine.bandcamp.com/album/pcmsnt008-putting-a-glass-away

Putting a Glass Away opens with manipulated piano samples as nearly inharmonic drones swell up and lead into a slowly changing harmony. The main focus is on a jazz beat that steadily moves with a few syncopated glitches when the rhythm strays off the dominant downbeat for too long. A couple nods to classic Drum and Bass are also thrown in to keep the mood light.

Longest, Shortest Path is nostalgic of early atmospheric Drum and Bass by starting with rich pads and a looping two bar, Amen pattern. The piece thins out into a muted version of the intro with few rhythmic cues. Field recordings of office buildings fill higher frequencies as the Amen loop is brought back and chopped with some variations to the rhythm.

Nic TVG - Then I Disappear

https://pineconemoonshine.bandcamp.com/album/pcmsnt010-still-the-same
In a few months we will be celebrating the ten year anniversary of Pinecone Moonshine. 2018 has much in store including the next two vinyl records which have already gone out for manufacturing. To close out 2017, we would like to share three of my own unsigned tracks in the same way as Pinecone Moonshine started a decade ago. 

The first track, “If I Had Met You First,” is a broken-beat and meandering sample collage in the style of earlier tracks like “Tomato Seeds” or “My Life as a Hairless Aardvark” from Subtle Audio. 

“It’s an Okay Thought” opens with a slow melody leading into a more distorted sound before focusing on a hectic drum break of predominantly snares. 

The third track was an attempt to make something like the Drumfunk that was being released around the mid 2000’s.

Nic TVG - She Said Thank You for Circles

Nic TVG ft Julie PoisonIV - Las Lalalas

https://pineconemoonshine.bandcamp.com/album/pcmsnt011-california

The first half of And the Houses Burn is a distorted bass drone and jazz hi-hats with a few samples and vocal excerpts. In the second half, sparse kick and snare drums rise up with the strumming of off key bass guitar.

And The Houses Burn

https://pineconemoonshine.bandcamp.com/album/pcmsnt011-california

The title track, California, is Drum and Bass built from surf music and outdoor field recordings. The drum samples are coarse and muted, damaged from dust and scratches on the source recordings. The harmony drifts into being quite discordant at times but the overarching tone mixed with rolling pattern of the drums keeps the track uplifting.

Pinecone Moonshine 058

The Drumfunk remix of Mosquito by Nic TVG changes out the drum machine for a drum break. The bassline and found objects are kept close to the original with the harmony and rhythm receiving most of the edits.

I work in the framework of Drumfunk focusing on timbre and processing of samples. In 2008 I started Pinecone Moonshine: a label for Drum and Bass and Ambient music with limited runs of vinyl.
