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 eighth volume, FROZEN RAIN PATCHWORK, was broadcast live to the members of the Milieu Music Fan Club via Twitch on February 5, 2018. The Workshop had closed me in that night, surrounded by freezing rain and icy streets, giving me the urge to make something comfortable, easy and accessible. The result was 48-minute set of spacious and melodic braindance, with moments of sequencer-ambient, acid spasms and house grooves. Conjured completely using Korg Volca Bass/Keys/Sample/Beats, Korg MS-20, Yamaha RY-20, Boss DR-660, Roland TR-505 and Arturia Microbrute, channeled thru the usual FX devices and the trusty "King Stevie" Peavey mixer. Nothing you haven't really heard before from Milieu, but that wasn't the point. F.R.P. is a cozy and familiar bedroom party on new and old hardware, singing and dancing in MIDI-unison...perfect for a day when you need to lock yourself inside.

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!
