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 fifth volume, SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN ARGENTINE, is a special set that was performed live-in-studio and broadcast online to the Milieu Music Fan Club as the last hour of December 31st, 2017 ticked away, with the second half of the set being the first audio I created in the 2018 year. For this New Year's countdown celebration, friends were invited into the studio, drinks and snacks were brought in and two hours of unreleased music were broadcast to the Fan Club leading up to the set, which was also followed by an Occur set of half-jamming/half-playing vinyl. You may notice that this set is markedly faster in tempo than the previous sets in the Housework series - this was decided upon beforehand, to break up any notions of "comfort" dialing it in, avoiding monotony as much as possible. (Fuck Mono Tony, we like Stereo Tony and his pals Quad Tony and Fivepointone Tony - ha!) What followed was a frantic cascade of acidic monosynths, bending and warping in all those wonderful analog ways, accompanied by a frenzy of manic drum machine panic attacks, spattered percussion and rumbling filter growls everywhere. Somewhere around the halfway mark, the Arturia Microbrute comes in with a patch that sounds almost like a lower register piano, playing a plaintive sequence that weaves in and out of more drum machine madness, reverb soaking and finally drops off into abject isolationist space. Not an inappropriate analog for the way 2017 felt for a lot of us starving artist types!

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!
