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 fourth volume, SATURDAY NIGHT LAZER, was streamed online as it happened to the members of the Milieu Music Fan Club on the night of December 9th, 2017. As per the usual with live-in-studio sets, Lazer was completely improvised using only hardware (look Ma, no computers!) and no overdubs. This set begins with a halfway pretty-halfway drunk analog polysynth melody, which quickly gives way to bouncing house kicks and percolating rhythmic textures. Being made using only four machines total - Korg Volcas, all - things mutate and deform and before we know it, it's a psychedelic acid dance party. Things get shaken up though, more than you might expect for only four devices, some FX and a mixer - the sounds weave in and out of Perrey-esque bleep-bloop melodic playfulness, woozy synthesizer space-outs and mercilessly tight Milieu funk.

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!
