about

Heralding the start of a new sub-catalog at Milieu Music: The HOUSEWORK series. This heading will be responsible for distribution of Milieu live sets, recorded from 2017 onward. Every set will be cleaned up and mastered, as much as possible, by The Analog Botanist's loving hands and ears, made presentable for both club systems and home listening rituals, maximizing enjoyment.

The seventh volume, COOLBREEZE REFRESHMENT TIME, was improvised and broadcast on August 13, 2018 as one of two live sets that served as a "decompression" for my cluttered and exhausted brain, in the wake of two months' deep production work finishing the Sun Cast triple-album. As such, it is a loose and funky affair, with lots of spastic changes and blatant disregard for staying put. Also included here are two sections of a second set, broadcast earlier on June 23, that was tagged with the name DECOMPRESSION SESSION. Both sets were made using the same gear configuration: A Korg Minilogue polyphonic analog synthesizer, Teenage Electronics PO-12 drum machine, Korg Volca Bass/Beats/Keys/Sample, Roland SH-32 polyphonic digital synthesizer, Arturia Microbrute monophonic analog synthesizer, Korg MS-20 monophonic analog synthesizer, Boss DR-110 analog drum machine and a large array of outboard analog/digital FX. Stylistically, both sets almost drunkenly wander their way through acid, techno, ambient minimalism and Autechre-influenced spasmodic IDM. Melodies, basslines and drum patterns are thrown around the stereo field like paint on a Pollock, making for a truly palate-cleansing and ear-flossing experience.

Mastering note: These recordings, and those that follow in the Housework catalog, were sometimes made so impulsively that there were less than ideal recording conditions present, such as ground hum, the occasional pop or click, etc. Every effort has been made to present the recordings as sincerely as possible, errors and all, with only as much editing as necessary. Please understand the raw nature of the performances is being preserved here above all else, and that sometimes means it retains some obvious flaws!
