Pattern is Movement/Scott Solter: Canonic (Hometapes)
Electronic remix of Pattern is Movement album Stowaway by producer Scott Solter. Insert says Solter physically trashed the tapes of the original to create weird effects (but I can’t really hear much of a rock album underneath this myself….). IDM w/ scattering of rock samples. Lots of incidental bleeps, bass tones, rock samples. Standard dance synth lines; oodles of moog effects. Cool use of white noise over simple loops. Play #5, 1, 11, 12; No Fccs.
1) 3:05 – starts w/ ambient noises + percussion; slow IDM beat; piano melody + ethereal pop male vox.
2) 3:16 – starts w/ light beat. Then ethereal wisps crescendo across the piece. Cool guitar samples + creaky effects. Neato, but doesn’t really go anywhere.
3) 5:05 – starts w/ string “shimmers”; organic white noise pulse; glitchy, messy beat starts around 2:14. ethereal synth. Gets faster.
4) 0:49 – atmospheric, reverby interlude.
5) 3:41 – moody, aggressive beat. Cool glitchy beat + organic percussion/guitar samples. End heavy w/ synth strings.
6) 6:09 – white noise layers underneath stark industrial percussion. Cool organ and flute samples. Simple dance beat gives structure to waves of ambient white noise. Beat drops out with 1:10 left, leaving drone.
7) 1:04 – short interlude. Distorted synth strings. Dark…I don’t like this place.
8) 2:49 – dark, hollow beat w/ spurts of electronic static. Glitchy shuffles in the shadows. Random incidental noises in the background.
9) 4:11 –tremolo, stuttering glitchy electronic melody. Rising and vanishing guitar distortion tone. Reverby rock vox samples. Aggressive dance beat. Electronic white noise buzzing. Faux-disc skipping.
10) 0:26 – quick, quiet interlude with piano rumbles.
11) 3:01 – distorted ethereal human vox samples. Super-compressed vocal line. Steel drum + banjo melody loop? Catchy. Glitch beats + moog effects.
12) 3:24 –backwards instrumental melody loop over high pitch tones. Incidental bass, treble tones. Cool buzzes of electronic white noise get louder near end.
