What would 70s cop funk be without the funky clav and bass duet?

We Americans absolutely cannot resist music like this!

This track was co-written with Jeff Whiley.

So many Flash backs .... Starsky And Hutch, Chips, Hawaii 5.0 .......... Great stuff.

Ruins and life

Now available as a free download, this track, written by Jeff Whiley and myself, is a tribute to the funky soundtracks and theme tunes of 1970s police television shows.

I played all the instruments in this recording, which was produced way back in 1999 on a Yamaha MD8 MiniDisc multitracker, using a Yamaha QS300 synth workstation and a Yamaha SU10 sampler.

"The sounds emanating from her blend of custom-built modules and vintage synths challenge the perceptions of the human ear, simultaneously bobbing along and screeching triumphantly." 
(Tristan Bath / https://soundcloud.com/spoolsout) 

JANO DOE uses homebuilt electronics to create sounds exploring limits of our auditory perception, incorporating extreme frequencies, volumes and sound event timescales, frequently crossing the barrier to physical sound perception. This sound is defined by inversions, creating the notion that the instrument is controlling the instrumentalist and where the formally sonorous becomes a representation of electrical, physical phenomena even before it is sound. Using intuitively conceived module arrangements, chaotic systems with fragile equilibria occur, always sweeping closer to the catastrophe point. 

On DURANZIE, we are confronted with a heterogeneous handful of sound fantasms. More like trajectories around some attractor than anything like arranged concrete events, this sound maps out its own constraints, like a cartographer of its own circuitry. These are autonomous pieces which purely refer to their own conditions of existence. On the first half of the album, these self-contained pieces are presented in sequence - each piece navigating some kind of local extremum, a little island of stability in some kind of terrible storm. Sometimes this results in bubbling, elementary waves, other times the result is like scanning through a minefield of interference, immersed in a cold hiss or ripped open by mechanical chirping. On the second half of the album, the converse approach results in a lone colossus patiently thawing, a pure tone crystal slowly breaking apart, forming tiny capillaries, trapped tensions finally circulating and slowly transforming itself into a whole different state. 

Recorded in Punctum 2017-2018 by Tomislav https://soundcloud.com/federsel.
Produced by https://soundcloud.com/janodoe using 16 DIY Yusynth modules (yusynth.net), one custom made sequencer module and one of three original copies of the 1970s Czechoslovak Číslizvuk modular synth.
Special thanks go to Milan Guštar and Petr Strenk.

"The dj/producerteam SoulBrigada made a wonderfull version of “Sunny”. Great!"... Peter Parker |  Freiburg, Germany (1beat.de)
"A reeealy good Edit from the duo SoulBrigada. Big shout out to SoulBrigada!"... DJ Beware | Vienna, Austria (Radio fm4.orf.at | Show "FM4 Unlimited")
"Very nice version, congrats!"...suonho | Italy  (http://soundcloud.com/suonho @ Soundcloud)

"Sunny" by Bobby Hebb (released 1966) is one of the most covered songs with hundreds of versions released (e.g. James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra, Jamiroquai, Dusty Springfield..). For our Edit we choose a killer latin flavoured Disco/Jazzfunk version (released originally 1975). Our rework focuses the deep & funky sounds of the original: wah wah guitar, keys & trumpet. We also moved the chorus in the center of the track..


Extended the original track | new in- & outro | EQ'd the audiosource
Added some percussion & effects | locked to 120 bpm for DJ-friendly-use

A funk maverick from the far left of the leftfield, keytar-wielding activist Steve Cooke blends sharp-witted lyrics with sleazy funk, geeky electronica and spiky new wave.
