Bandcamp Musts

I’m not sure who I thought the ‘writing about music is like dancing about architecture’ quote was attributed to, but according to a quick search, it was possibly originated by a musical comedian I’ve never heard of, Martin Mull.

Anyway, I’ve been giving it a go, with some short blurbs for The Rutan releases.

He makes sample-based electronic music and I think he’s an expert at building tracks around dubbed-out vocal snippets.

If you like Sun-Ra / dub / hip hop / electro / jazz / electronic music (which is pretty much everyone, right?) then you might find something you like on this EP…

Is the 1k for a download to stop this being booted to infinity?

It’s what heavenly do for their comps when they don’t have the licensing for digital. I think bandcamp say you have to offer digital so to avoid selling any they put it at 999
