about

Monu is a picture album made over the year of 2019. Its intention is not to showcase virtuosity or break new ground, but instead to capture and translate a series of moments and strong feelings, ranging from despair and emptiness to passion and bliss. Every single composition on the record is free improvised, never thought of before, and just played once, (with the exception of “Szechuan Pepper” and “Summer Loop Pt. 2” in which every line was played just once). I left the recording on, and from time to time I would stop by and play for a few minutes trying to translate what was in my heart at that specific moment. Different microphones and basses were used, so every track has a unique configuration that gives it its own color palette, taste, feel, texture, etc... This dramatically influenced the process of spontaneous composition. Accidents sometimes became ideas, which became sections, and sometimes even full compositions. This record is deeply personal; a sound letter to the things that words and gestures cannot explain

It's thrumming, scratchy, glassy electronic noise meets tongue-slapping, honking, trumpeting acoustics. It lifts the spirit and stretches the mind. Thankyou. butjolly
