about

Unnatural Blues / teninten04:

ADSR&B

This 10 in 10 release, our fourth, was the first which sought to replicate a specific style of music - specifically the Electro Blues. We stripped old public domain R&B tracks of their vocals and gave these raw takes new life via a battery of synthesizers, drum machines and sequencers.The merging of these soulful takes from an era past with a symphony of bleeps and bloops creates an output that's simultaneously contradictory, collaborative, and "kind of" blues.

Gear List - Session 1:
Korg Minilogue
Korg Volca Beats

Gear List - Session 2:
