ZNTN Modyfier mixtape




"
My creative process is about inspiration and gathering. I'm not a
musician, I don't know how to play an instrument or read music. I'm a
geek, a librarian - I've always enjoyed music and collect and read
about it frenetically . I'm so obsessed by it that I try to create it
- usually by mimicking artist I like - I study their patterns, how the
instruments interact and I think of them as gears on a machine
punching in in time. Of course this imitation is distorted by my own
experiences and failures to achieve the same results creating what I'd
see as my signature.
For the same reason I enjoy the so called "dance music" (whatever it's
genre), it has a function which is not subjective as you have results
and it can be seen as a tool.
Usually this process starts by hearing a certain track or seeing a
certain dj perform that inspires me and I try to lay some bass lines
on a virtual drum machine and picturing how something was done.
I listen to as much "rock" music as "electronic" so I like to take
emphasis on their connection. Usually when editing a rock song I treat
it as electronica, I take some basses and loop them, make the
breakdowns more intense, add a more pulsating beat and redo the
structure to sound more like a track. At the same time when handling
electronica I like to treat it as a rock song, focusing melody and
mood and many times adding classic pop structures like AABA, etc.
By the same fact I'm inspired by music trends that unite these two
sides, I quite enjoy the concept of DIY and people who try to jump
from one side to the other - I'm talking about northern soul's black
roots, to the groove present in post-punk and industrial or (vice
versa) the DIY, punk esthetic of early house and techno.

The following set was recorded "live" in my living room last night at
3 am so I apologize for any mistakes. The track list is very
conceptual as it represents a list of musicians, producers, djs,
friends or/and labels that influence me and some of my material.


As for the hardware I used one Technics 1200, one CDjj 800, one Vestax
175 mixer and a Kaos Pad3.
