[PCMSNT005] Nic TVG - Drum Funk II

Part I focused on brassier sounding drums and complex inharmonic sounds. Part II uses mostly toneless drums with a higher noise level and lower pitched instruments.

Very Close to Nothing combines two classic Drum and Bass breaks attempting coax the imperfections of the vinyl recording to the forefront. Lackadaisical piano playing and a slow harmony progression blend in with the noise of the drums.

From 2008, Transparent Lines is still one of my favorite pieces. Although there is only hints of percussion, it was a turning point in timbre and arrangement. This is the original mixdown and master that was not released.

Inspired by LXC's LFAnt, Bela begins with warm kicks and beeps put on filtered delays. The intro could have been built into a separate track as it leads into a heavily chopped funk break.

The EP was included on a vinyl project by VILL4IN in 2023.
