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 sixth volume, QUADRACID, was improvised and broadcast on January 27, 2018 at the White Pillar Workshop, exclusively for the members of the Milieu Music Fan Club. Doing what you might have expected from the title, Quadracid lowers the pH levels of the Workshop with 4x Korg Volcas / Korg MS-20 / Arturia Microbrute / Roland TR-505 / Boss DR-660 / Yamaha RY-20 and some well placed FX, across four distinct phases of technoid rhythms, filter squealing acid lines and crispy fried percussion. The fifth track, and closing section of the set, drops the club off a cliff and loses itself in a winding forest of delay pings, feedback trails and spaced out Quadraverb atmospherics. This one sounds great when pushed to louder volumes, and still lets you down softly at the end.
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!
