Buttondrum (Are You Quiz Edit) --- 2010-01-29

"This week we’re going even further back – back – back all the way to 2003. Can you even remember what 2003 was like? Think about it and report back, I’m curious to know. One thing is for certain, with whatever mind I had at the time, I made this little track here. It was called ‘Are You Quiz’, but some years ago I decided to organize it with its partner track Buttondrum for which I used the same set of sounds. For both tracks, I made a majority (if not all) of the tonal, synth-like sounds from a hearing test tone. Just a tiny little beep did all that, yes sir/madam/undeclared. Maybe there’s a lesson to learn from that hearing test tone – content in their humble duty, but capable of infinity. It just takes someone curious to catalyze your pursuit of broadened sonic application… or something. I clearly don’t have much to reflect upon, I don’t remember 2003. It was probably one of those years lost to unsettling relationships or so… so… so it goes. Now, in 2010, may the fruits of 2003 bring joy, happiness, thought, all those verbs we all love verbing. Next week is another full release as its a new month in the Year of Ten. Cheers all." Released as part 4 of the artist's "Year of Ten" weekly series.
