I have been busy with life in the past year and had little time for music, unfortunately. Now that it's summer though, I have revived the creative process and finally started working on some new material. Definitely stay tuned for previews and updates along the way...expect a release sometime next year, hopefully.
Fusing murky atmospheric ambience to hip-hop inspired beats the
'Nowcast' EP takes off in a stratospheric journey. 2% loops samples
into vaporous drones creating a milky haze for his melodies to refract
within then drops beats that land you back on solid ground.
Additionally, tracks like 'Neaps' and 'Front' offer a beatless
diversion that keep you lifted in this whirling, sun drenched horizon.
Trenton McElhinney, the name behind 2%, composed the entire 'Nowcast'
EP on a Monome running a live sample-cutting platform. Using a modified
version of MLR for Max/Msp Trenton recorded tracks in single live takes
and used minimal post processing.
*very pleased to be a part of AH and want to thank everyone who helped make this possible including the entire monome community. have a great rest of your summer and thanks for all the ongoing support!
