about

Most of the inspiration for this album comes from my feeling about horses, nature, and white noise. White noise can be found throughout nature: surf, crickets and insects in the early summer night-time forest, the roaring of the electromagnetic spectrum throughout the cosmos.

I put together those inspirations with an old Korg BX-3 as the featured instrument. This BX-3 has painted keys, yes, for some reason, someone painted the keys on it. On the track 'Barn', I was using a bad patch cable, and the recording was cutting out on the take that I used, it turned out to sound like it was heavily over-processed, and I really like that kind of rough modulation, very broken, while at the same time very over-driven.

I have used a few samples within the album, more sparingly than in previous efforts, however. The track 'I Remember an Ass' features a sample from a favorite southern blues / rock album. The guitar sound I sampled had just that overdriven rough quality. 'The Real Baduka' was actually 2 takes on that lyrical loop that has been in my head for a few years now. The first was more rock oriented, and the second was more from the electronical school. I mashed them together with a tempo change to create a single piece.

Overall the album combines some pulsing EDM flavors, some folk, both with experimental electronica. I hope you enjoy!

Fred Miller Baltimore, Maryland

Fred says there's going to be a new release after some real good thunderstorms. He says he's got some real gems laying about and he gave me a sample. It's called RC Pro Am and it's about a silly game. And tomatoes. One other thing he mentioned was multimedia. He said he wants to make the beltway into a racetrack, and you get points for getting to work faster. ... more
