awesome! rhythm sections are way overrated

This has a neo-classical feel to it like something Debussy would write if he access to electronic instruments.

@mynocturnaltwin: and you can tweet that!! chz

Please enjoy my latest offering in largely generative Jams. For the first four pieces i used many elements of condition and controlled randomness, trying to emulate a modular vibe without actually using a modular. And yes, i played my bass on the last track. 
And yes, maybe unrelated to this release, black lives matter just as much your or my live.  Racism is a cancer we need to cure once and for all in each and everyone of us.

Being Shy Gives You A Low Probability

Published on SC 17 July 2020

Some days, don't you wish you could reboot yourself?

I reboot therefore I am. 
I am therefore I reboot.
I reboot therefore I reboot.
I am therefore I am.

I think that just about covers everything.

I, Reboot

I learned this morning of the death of Ennio Morricone. I wanted to broadcast again this tribute to the master which had been inspired by mister Linir song: https://soundcloud.com/liniror/the-good-old-westerns-guitar-morricones-stylecomposed-by-linir-or The original from Linir was so good… Ennio —I know— should like it !!!! https://soundcloud.com/liniror
Sorry Linir, can’t be able to listen these days anything. 
Merci pour cette musique, Linir…

Nightingale vs Virus

Mash up of sorts between a violin improvisation and an instrumental piece on a Burns SSJ guitar played through a tremolo into a DIY dwarf destroyer (crazy unpredictable fuzz) clone and various modulation/delay/reverb stompies.

"Not A Room At All" (instr.) by mmothejr

Picture https://flic.kr/p/2jG2un9

Summersun is slowly rising
Across that fateful August sky
Sparrows & starlings flutter
and make a sound that seems to flash.

Remember Blind Pete from Regent
Just a whisper and you'll be there
In the days of travelling
I was waiting
For the soothing rain

This song was done for a contest of the Songwriter Forum Kitchen. Initially I thought the challenge was to write a song not in the standard 4/4 measure. But after finishing this track I found out the rule was to write a 3/4 waltz. So this is a left over.

The line about Blind Pete is a nod to the 1995 Orally Men terror tour.

All of the percussion sounds of "Outside" were recorded in a tunnel under a road about ten days before the start of the lockdown, and it was during the quarantine that the composition of the track began. After leaving it out for a while, I finished it this summer.

Tous les éléments de la rythmique de "Outside" ont été enregistrés dans un tunnel sous une route une dizaine de jours avant que ne débute le confinement, et c'est pendant la quarantaine que la composition du morceau a commencé. Je l'ai laissé de côté un moment pour bosser sur d'autres titres fortement inspirés par le confinement ("Time?" et "Masked & Anonymous") et ne me suis remis dessus qu'après la libération, qui n'en fut certainement pas une.

A Meeting Of Two Goths

A place for sound freaks lashing out from the dark. 

So there's all kinds of stuff on this page, but after months of schizophrenic debates about who was playing with who and who took the lead while doing it, finally, the decision was made: all my alter egos got together and decided to form a band. From 2020 on new tracks are created under the moniker Gruppo Infernal. Only pure MMTJ tracks will still be named as such. 

Gruppo Infernal still relies on my work as Me, my Thumb and Jack, an ongoing quest for a liberating approach to sound creation where the human body acts as an oscillator amplifying the natural 50hz hum. Direct live recording, improvisations and delay loops only using analog filters and effects. No editing, no overdubs. Gruppo Infernal adds digital treatment to this original sound material. 

UnterPitch was an alter ego using samples & synths.
Bleached Coffins was a one-off project using guitars.

earliest work when I was still a pup:
