			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The Cosmogramma Outakes</em> is as the title promises: a collection of stems and fragments culled from Cosmogramma, sometimes offered stripped away of their original context, sometimes represented and re-imagined by Brainfeeder labelmates Teebs, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, and Matthewdavid. Originally, the tracks were made available in early January to any Flying Lotus fans with a physical copy of Cosmogramma, a webcam, and access to the internet. Fans could visit a website, hold their copy of Cosmogramma up to a webcam, and a new interactive webcam image recognition software would unlock and download alternate takes and versions of Cosmogramma. Later, these tracks were pressed onto vinyl and made available as a special limited-edition release on record store day. The value of such a record is twofold: first, it offers a kind of a behind-the-scenes view of the architecture behind Flying Lotus&#8217; compositional style: “Clock Catcher (Harp Arrangement)” is Rebekah Raff’s harp part from “Clock Catcher,” peeled away from the beats and ambient textures of the song to stand alone; similarly, “Galaxi in Janaki (String Solo)” is just that&#8211;the string part from “Galaxi in Janaki.” Second, it is indicative of an emerging ethos wherein collaboration elevates—rather than degrades—the production of musicians: Teebs’ “Archway,” for example, takes the harp stems from “Clock Catcher” and creates an entirely new song, with new energy and a new narrative. For Brainfeeder labelmates, it seems, there is no stealing. There is only sharing, an attitude that they (and we) all benefit from.</p>

<p><em>Brainfeeder audio-visual artist <a href="http://larecord.com/interviews/2011/03/30/the-interpreter-strangeloop">Strangeloop</a>’s latest </em>Fields<em> is a beautiful and mesmerizing experiment in sound and image. Deeply moving ambient soundscapes build and fold over the course of three acts—the first a movement symbolizing birth and constellation, the second death and dissolution, and the third a transcendental union of both. He celebrates its release with a gallery exhibit of his art at Gus Harper Studios this Saturday, and speaks here about being in a metal band, what the real apocalypse looks like, and the DMT trip that showed him his rhythm. This interview by Lainna Fader.</em></p>
<p><strong>How did you help your high school found its electronic music department? </strong><br />
When I started going to Malibu High School, there was a big influx of money from some of the rich people—you know, a lot of kids of rich people end up there—and it all went to founding a new electronic music department and a new video editing department. And I helped set up both of them and was interested in both simultaneously. Even though Malibu High is a whatever school, it was a really good time for me to be there cuz they had ProTools and Logic and all that. And I was in there every day after school just experimenting with music and video and stuff for four years. It was amazing! We had great pre-amps, guitars, and synthesizers. It was a dream—it was synchronistic. I was there just at the right time. I’m not even sure if they have that department anymore—it was called Music Exploration. And I was producing other people’s tracks then, too. It was a good collaborative environment because there were a lot of musicians and I was in a metal band—<br />
<strong>You were in a metal band?</strong><br />
Yeah, I used to play guitar in a metal band. That was actually my steez before any of this stuff. So we’d record our band in the music room at school—actually, before that we’d take a bunch of drugs and just mess with all these instruments and it was really good.<br />
<strong>How did you go from metal to electronic music?</strong><br />
I was kind of making both in tandem, but at a certain point—actually, at the time, I was really into the heaviest possible music and once I just got to Dillinger Escape Plan’s <em>Calculating Infinity</em>, I would listen to it over and over again and was thinking, ‘There’s nothing heavier you can make than this with real instruments. You’d have to like break apart the audio.’ So I got into Venetian Snares and Amon Tobin—some experimental drum &#038; bass-y stuff—and after a while, metal sort of lost its appeal to me. There’s a few bands that I’m still obsessed with—Lightning Bolt, Hella—but more straight death metal stuff wasn’t doing it for me.<br />
<strong>How does taking 8 years of classical piano influence the work you make now?</strong><br />
It’s the basis for a lot of things I do. I still play piano every day. I was into classical music, but there was this kind of falling out with my piano teacher. I was playing Mozart—I was rehearsing it for a recital and I was maybe 13, 14 or something—and I liked to play the classical pieces but I’d like to speed them up progressively and play them faster and faster and faster until I find that point where I’d go, ‘Ahhhhhhhhhhh!’ And my piano teacher hated that! But it was what I loved to do so I kept doing it, and at a certain point—he was a very straight-laced guy, always wore a tie, traditional piano teacher—and eventually he just stopped me and yelled at me, ‘DON’T FUCK WITH MOZART!’ He freaked out. So I stopped playing piano for a little bit and sort of abandoned classical musical entirely.<br />
<strong>Sounds like a fairly traumatic experience.</strong><br />
Right? Now it’s whatever but as a thirteen-year-old I was kinda freaked out and it put me in a rebellious mindset. ‘Fuck all these traditions—I’m gonna make metal music, jungle, and weird psychotic stuff.’ So in a way it was a really good thing, but it was kind of funny.<br />
<strong>Who convinced you to start playing again?</strong><br />
I would dabble in it over the years, but meeting Austin Peralta got me into playing piano more. I saw what he was doing with the instrument and it was inspiring—it made me realize that whatever I was doing on the piano, I was just fucking around. I’m never gonna be on Peralta’s level. It’s just a fun instrument—you can design an entire piece from the piano, it’s just a great compositional tool.<br />
<strong>Austin Peralta said he knew you were a like-minded dude when you showed up at the same coffee shop and started ranting about the apocalypse. </strong><br />
I’m on apocalyptic rants a lot of the time. I’m just interested in the downfall of our Western civilization, our global civilization—which I think is happening right now on a certain level, a paradoxical awareness that can occur within this whole collapse. We’re in a really fantastic time and a really terrible time and it’s all happening simultaneously. The etymology of the word ‘apocalypse’ interestingly enough means the ‘unveiling,’ not ‘the end of the world.’ It’s actually a golden age on certain levels. I like Thundercat’s <em>The Golden Age of Apocalypse</em>—that&#8217;s what I feel. It’s a golden age and a dissolution of all these things that we thought were relevant and important. Like capitalism—that huge, global beast—the substructure of that thing is not really working for everybody and if we keep on this path—hyper-consumer, society-spectacle trip—then I think we’re basically done as a species. And there isn’t actually that much to refute that at this point. Most great scientific minds of our time say that—basically—that we’re a train going off the tracks.<br />
<strong>How much time do you think we have left?</strong><br />
I don’t know, but I think maybe the apocalypse is already happening. It’s a cultural apocalypse. If you go to any spot in America and find a strip mall with Carl’s Jr.—that’s the cultural apocalypse. That’s the homogenization of culture. It’s horrific. I think maybe we’re in some sort of transition. For instance, in the 22nd century, we won’t be human as we’ve known ourselves to be for thousands of years. If we do survive, we’ll be something totally different.<br />
<strong>Is that an idea that’s exciting or scary to you?</strong><br />
It’s both. It’s exciting and scary and overwhelming and inspiring. I’m a big student of Terrence McKenna, Kurzweil, and all the Futurist philosophers. And I like discussing these things because I think awareness is important—I think it gives us more say in where we’re going. Otherwise we’re passive recipients of all these future catastrophes that are coming down the pipeline. But on another level, there’s nothing we can do about it. And when Austin and I met, I was ranting about the apocalypse and I guess he could relate.<br />
<strong>Where does <em>Fields</em> come from?</strong><br />
I made it when I went up to Portland. I was relaxing up there, taking psychedelics, trying to reconnect with some deeper sense that I felt I had lost after being in the hurricane of all these beats and dubstep works. I actually heard the <em>Fields</em> composition in my head—I smoked some DMT and I had this bizarre experience where I heard this music emanating out of space and I saw it too. I could see the music. And I was gone for twenty minutes, just dissolved into this composition, and I came back and I thought my friend John was playing the music in the room because it was really loud. It was loud but it was also a minimal, textural composition. He wasn’t playing anything. I felt like I downloaded it—I had it in my head. I knew the time signatures, I knew that it’d be in movements—three movements—and we had a studio in the house, so I went to the studio right after and just started trying to make the composition on a couple synthesizers and just start tracking it. It was an unusual process because it doesn’t usually work like that for me. I literally heard the composition before I made it.<br />
<strong>You’ve said you ‘wanted to get the kind of vulnerable heart of a lot of what you’ve been trying to do with your life.’ How did you accomplish that with <em>Fields</em>? </strong><br />
It’s more subliminal than many things I’ve done in recent years. It was very personal—and not necessary as derived from what’s around me culturally. That’s all in me, but I wanted to find something deeper. I think for its time and place, it’s exactly how it needed to be. I could’ve gone back and done more mixing and refining but I just said no. It’s fine how it is—it’s raw and it’s fine, whatever it is. It’s exactly how it was when I wrote it and I wrote it in two, three days. When you go from my other stuff, like 2010, this fucked up dystopian piece of madness, you can see a pretty stark contrast with <em>Fields</em>. I did want to make a journey from all this dystopian stuff I’ve been doing the last couple years and explore something utopian. They both coexist, and I wanted to have something that was very positive and uplifting.<br />
<strong><em>Fields</em> is endlessly folding and looping into itself—do you think anything ever has a true end?</strong><br />
That’s how I feel about reality. That’s where I got the name Strangeloop—it’s a technical term for a tangled hierarchy. You can travel from one point to another in a hierarchy and you get back to where you started. Especially from my psychedelic experiences, I wanted a work that felt like it was a full dimension that you could fall into and it would never end. It’s like a fractal, it would always change and have self-similar aspects. There’s a whole mythos in my mind around it, based on this form, this neurological web that I call Nawgu—the Nawgu deity, the God of Psychedelic Media. So I was exploring this god, this thing. And when I started studying my world more and more, that’s all I see. Especially when I take psychedelics, they’re just blooming everywhere, these dendritic, synaptic things. All the imagery that we get from science—the whole universe really looks like that, all these synapse structures and I see it everywhere. If I worship anything, it’s that. And it’s not specific—it’s a pattern that I love, and I give it this deity status even though I’m not religious by any measure. Hopefully with <em>Fields</em>, you go into it, and you feel like that space will always be there, and you can always go back to it if you want to.<br />
<strong>Godfrey Reggio said, ‘All of us are refugees driven from our human state.’ How do you bring yourself back to your human state?</strong><br />
I actually was able to meet him and hang out with him for a bit and I got to ask him all these big philosophical questions. A lot of the things he told me—I’m still trying to wrap my head around them. The whole idea of that quote relates to his idea about us being astronauts. We’re literally off the planet on some level. When you think about it, it’s kind of true. We’re not on the planet—we created all these infrastructures that have lifted us a little off the planet. We’ve been driven from our natural state—our feet are not on the ground anymore. But of course, that idea resonates on a whole bunch of levels. I’m not sure that our job is to return to some prior state that we had though. This is a very common idea now—we have to rebalance ourselves with nature and whatnot—and sometimes I’m totally on that boat, but nature really is not balanced in the way that we think it is. It has some fractal order in it but it’s not this stasis we can return to. Massive, crazy, catastrophic events happen out of nowhere—and I think we’re in one of those now—but it’s an evolutionary event. I don’t think the answer is, ‘Let’s try to go back to a tribal society.’ We have to figure out—not even figure out, but let go of this process. I feel that Reggio and his idea that we’re all astronauts is kind of like what Terence McKenna said about cities and modern civilization, that we’re in a sort of transitional phase because we’re trying to become a species that’s intergalactic, as crazy as that sounds. We’re reaching for that and to do that, we’re kind of like a child rebelling against its mother, against the earth, and trying to become independent and self-sufficient. And that’s what a city is, as messy as it is a lot of the time. We’re trying to create a bubble for ourselves, a technological chrysalis that we can develop in and it’s probably part of the natural process. I’m not sure what I’m in the camp that believes that it’s all a mistake. Nature is infinitely intelligent and there’s probably an infinitely intelligent reason for why all these things are unfolding in this certain way. I think that quote from Reggio—and it’s like a page long thing—is one of the most incredible quotes of all time.<br />
<strong>Terence McKenna said, “We have to create culture. Don’t watch TV, don’t read magazines, and don’t even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow.” How do you—and Brainfeeder—create your own culture? How do you reclaim your mind?</strong><br />
That’s the plan, right? I used to think that I had to rebel against all the things I found troubling in the world. I come from a very political family and that was the modus operandi—rebel against the system. Though I preserve an element of that, you give power to the things you fight against. It’s like in a Go game—if you’re in trouble somewhere, and start reacting against the trouble and try to make your way out, you actually give your opponent more pieces. I play Go with Alfred [Daedelus] and I always do that and I gotta stop! We have to create our own culture. We have to create what we want to see and experience. I think it’s great that there are all these creative communities that have sprung up locally—Brainfeeder, Alpha Pup, dublab—all these communities make life really exciting right now. Whereas if I just watched the news instead and just tripping out on the state of the world—which I do, sometimes—life would kinda suck. There’s these parallel histories right now—the histories of human follies unfolding on epic proportions that we couldn’t even dream of. The most absurd news—you couldn’t have people write that stuff, it’s so ridiculous. And there’s also a totally epic creative renaissance right now. As much as I do in my life, I’m some very tiny little cell—and that’s great! Being part of something that fuels you and inspires you and is much bigger than you, moving all the time regardless if you’re sitting in your house playing video games, you’re always moving forward.<br />
<strong>In an interview I read with Philip K. Dick he talks about experiences he had where supernatural beings went into his mind and took hold and explained all of life’s mysteries that had been troubling him for a very long time. Have you had experiences like that?</strong><br />
For whatever reason, in my life there is a plethora of those sort of bizarre experiences. Not always a ‘full secrets of the cosmos’ kind of thing. Maybe not even with drugs—just lucid dreams, or some bizarre experience in daily life. It’s not always epiphanal but it&#8217;s always weird. ‘Why is my mind doing this?’ I have a predisposition for these altered states. I don’t think I’m crazy—but I could be! Or I’m sometimes on that borderline. Some of my experiences on psychedelics have been totally traumatizing. This one time I hit my head on psychedelics and I left this world entirely for a very long time. Blacked out. I was basically living with this beautiful woman in the woods for a long time—it felt like an eternity. I came back to this world in a very traumatic way: I was being dragged into this dorm room and didn’t know where I was, thought I had gone kinda crazy, and I had all these geometries flooding out of this gash on my head. Very perturbing experience but when I came back I was obsessively drawing these patterns. I was so traumatized by the experience that I felt like I had to return to it to understand it so a few months later I took psychedelics again and delved deep into it. I came into contact with this alternate version of myself. The archetypal me. This is getting pretty heavy! Basically, in a way—and not just in an intellectual way—it told me what I’m supposed to be doing on this planet. Whether I should believe it or not is almost irrelevant to me. More than anything, it showed me my rhythm, which maybe I had forgotten, being all wrapped up in college at the time. That’s where I can return to all the time, whether I’m doing musical stuff or visual stuff or just living—that was the important thing that experience gave me.<br />
<strong>Surprised you found that so traumatic—going off into the woods with a beautiful woman for eternity sounds like a really pleasant experience.</strong><br />
Well, that part was okay. That was fine. It was the exit from this realm into that realm and the return where I thought I had gone mad that was awful. The fear that you’ve gone mad forever—and anyone who’s into psychedelics knows this—is a really deep one. It shook my core pretty intensely. But at the same time, like with all traumatic things in my life, they end up being very defining things that I hold really dear to me. It might be fucked up in the short term, but it always ends up being quintessially important in the long run.</p>

(from Rappayamatantra EP out on March 22 on <span style="font-size: 13.2px;">Brainfeeder)</span></p>
<p>Jeremiah Jae’s spirit curls up when he listens to radio rap. It’s an involuntary reaction not to the style but the substance—the auto-tuned odes to anatomy, the excess in every possible sense. His <em>Rap</em><span style="font-size: 13.2px;"><em>payamatantra </em>EP isn’t a response to that overindulgence; rather, it’s an expression of otherness, a pseudo-rap statement meant to connect his mostly instrumental <em>DXNCE </em>EP and his upcoming full-length <em>Raw Money Raps</em>. Musically, Jeremiah Jae is Teebs’ foil—he refracts the snowy beauty of Teebs’ found Christmas sounds into hissing feedback and bass that climbs up your wall like an eight-pound spider. “Kings Bop” explores the deepest recesses of man, like some kind of dubbed-out jazz echoing from a jungle cave while a walkie-talkie crackles with foreign-language chatter. “Guns Go Off” is the first track with Jae as MC, a reflection on the perils of getting trapped in time. “$easons” chisels away at the prison walls of the mind; “Stones Passage” hangs overhead like a warbling UFO before dissolving into doo-wop. None of Jae’s rhymes will lodge themselves in your brain, but his music will: gnarled knots of sound that scrape clean the grime from your skull.</span></p>

<p><em>Teebs&#8217; <span style="font-style: normal;">Ardour</span>, out now on Brainfeeder, might be the most beautiful and delicate album released all last year. The tracks replace hard notions of narrative, chorus or verse with soundscapes wherein tones and sounds bloom and fade, smoothly transitioning from one part to the next. He speaks now about anime, time and motion. This interview by Kristina Benson.</em></p>
<p><strong>Your record got some really amazing reviews. Pitchfork, for example, said that ‘It’s the equivalent of watching biological life expand in sped-up time lapse.’</strong><br />
I thought it was a cool reference. I never took it that far in my own mind, but I like the idea of achieving a kind of organic state with my sound. So I guess they kind of hit the nail on the head with that one.<br />
<strong>Was that something you were going for deliberately? Reaching an organic sound through technological means?</strong><br />
Yes. I like the idea of approaching work like that in general I guess. The format of my music isn’t very structured, and that might be part of it, or an outcome to why it sounds like that. I found the sound, and I work with it and I let it go. There’s this guy Chessa—he’s a piano player—and he’ll open up a grand piano and throw a bunch of stuff on the strings. A pearl necklace, a toothbrush, a bunch of things, and you can hear all this crazy percussion. I’ve never seen him do it live or anything, but he’d just play and put toys on it. It’s truly interesting.<br />
<strong>Strangeloop says he tries to reach the divine through technology. Do you try to do that? </strong><br />
I’m definitely trying to reach something. Reach a freedom through technology—a freedom to create stuff. I like the idea of people just kind of slowing down with it. I just imagine myself closing my eyes. Not necessarily a full-on journey from the song itself, but from the repetitiveness of it people could just lose track of time—take time with it. I like that idea. Or use it as background music. Whatever works. But I really like the idea that people can just really… I don’t know. Go easy with it.<br />
<strong>You said in our first interview that you start with the melody. But I went back and listened, and it seems like the songs don’t really have a melody and narrative in a traditional sense. </strong><br />
Yeah, it’s more loose. Is that what you’re saying? That there’s not a real narrative? I’m not trying to tell stories, just emotions that come across. There’s no narrative that people should be trying to catch. When I create, it’s hard to say if I’m going for anything specific. It’s like, ‘I’m feeling a certain way and I have this sound and let’s see how I can make it into a loop and how far it can go.’ Cuz a lot of loops I pull, I just kind of break down a small amount of material as far as I can and leave it like that.<br />
<strong>How do you know when they’re finished?</strong><br />
It’s just a feeling. Most of the time it just feels done. I like to hit one emotion and pull out of it. When it’s done, it’s done. You never know though, I guess—if you give me more time I could just keep toying with it. When it feels about done, you can tell. That’s how I look at it.<br />
<strong>Is it the same with your paintings?</strong><br />
Definitely.<br />
<strong>There’s so many layers in your work—I imagine it’d be tempting to go on and on and never stop. </strong><br />
It is tempting. When I’m painting walls—that’s pretty tempting—I want to keep going until it’s destroyed, but usually with music I like to find—I dunno. It’s like if you’re fast-forwarding through a tape, not at high speed but at medium speed, and you just hit a point. ‘That looks great there—stop! Let it go.’ And then it’s done. But you can keep working it to death, or leave it at that one age and leave it be in history.<br />
<strong>What are you trying to capture?</strong><br />
Nothing in particular. Just an instant—it’s hard to describe. I was watching a video called Art22. They were putting some older artists into categories. They said one guy was a ‘power artist’ and this other was more conceptual. And the power artists were more for instant—like instant gratification. Instant, in-your-face kind of artwork. And I like that idea, having stuff that’s very—you absorb a lot instantly and then you can gradually go with it. So no particular emotions, but definitely the idea of an instant kind of thing, if that makes sense?<br />
<strong>Are you going to try to score a movie?</strong><br />
Down the line, when I start producing some more and getting more ideas out, I’d love to give it a shot. I would probably score—there’s this anime, I can’t remember the Japanese title. But in English it’s called <em>The Black and White Twins</em>. It’s about these two kids that jam around and they’re like orphans. And one’s really crazy and one’s peaceful. It’s a great film. I used to live in Monterey Park, I think it was maybe a year or so, and I really got into anime films at that point. I think I was the only black kid on the block. There were a lot of Asian families and we just went to gaming places and all this random stuff.<br />
<strong>If there was a movie that could be made to fit <em>Ardour</em>, what would it be about?</strong><br />
It would probably be about following kids around. Like about little kids—maybe the age of the kids in <em>The Sandlot</em>. That little kid age and that kind of attitude, but not a movie like that at all. Just that age—before, they’re kind of boring. But this age, they can jam around and not seem like assholes.<br />
<strong>The painting on the cover for <em>Ardour</em>—where did it come from? </strong><br />
It’s just a feeling. I call them floaters—they look like floating masses. I like the way they make people feel. Or make me feel.<br />
<strong>Are you working on another art project or record?</strong><br />
Two weeks ago, if you would have asked me that I would have told you that I just bought an Xbox and I’ve been vegging out. I’m stuck on Call of Duty. And Lego Star Wars, Lego Batman and Lego Indiana Jones. But now—I’m trying to finish an EP for sometime later next year. That’s in the works. And some art shows, I think I’m doing something in Canada and a bigger thing in Denver. So I’m pretty excited, working on more pieces, developing my style more.<br />
<strong>Is it possible for you to simultaneously work on a record and an art show?</strong><br />
I usually work on both. When I’m working—my daily work—I go back and forth all day. It’s like you’re working on music, working on music, and then it’s like, ‘OK, I’m done. Wherever I’m at, I gotta put this down.’ And it’s easy for me to go to the art, and everything I’ve been working on looks fresh, and I have a new eye for it. Then I work on art until I’m over it or until the paint needs to dry, and then I go back to the music. I usually work most of the day, throughout the week. I’m just kind of a hermit.<br />
<strong>You told <em>XLR8R</em> that a lot of people were trying to emulate FlyLo when his record came out, and as much as you love his stuff, you said it was still important to do something new. What were you reacting to? </strong><br />
I think I was already getting heavy into my sound before heavy biting was going on. I know when bass music got really popular and dubstep kind of spilled over into the States, it was something I was definitely trying not to do. It’s been done so many times by so many kids.<br />
<strong>Do you feel like you’re confined by the fact that so many things have not only been done, but done really really well? </strong><br />
No, I don’t feel confined at all. It’s just kind of like, if you hear too much of one thing, you don’t want to continue the same thing. You want to kind of push. The whole idea is to push boundaries and try to do something different; it’s never a confinement. Just not trying to do what’s already been heavily done. For me, the best way to start is to get to know yourself a little bit better? Create your own look on life and build that sound through the creation you made, something like that. As long as you get an idea of a character you like, and use this character—what would he like? You can use this whole character you made up for yourself.<br />
<strong>Which is <em>Ardour</em>—something you would like or something your made-up character would like?</strong><br />
I think it’s a nice blend of both. I try to make—well, it’s a stupid line. But someone, when I was a kid, said ‘you have to be the hero that you want to see’ or some stupid crap like that. It’s kind of true, you know—you make what you think is missing. I thought that this would be cool, if someone was doing something like this. So I tried to do that, since I can’t be exactly what I am in my head, whatever comes out is it. It’s rare that what I have in my head gets laid out exactly how it is. I’ll just try these ideas that I think are incredible and when I actually get an opportunity to try it, it sounds like complete crap. And I just make that crap work into something I’d actually like. Never right off the bat is it like, ‘I have these great ideas!’ and boom, it’s there. I <em>know</em> people who can do that! Music is just not so easy for me, I guess. I don’t think it’s limitations, I think it’s just me. I just think for some reason I can’t make what’s in my head and that’s part of it.<br />
<strong>When I first started using the computer to make music, I’d get frustrated and be all, ‘This sounds like utter shit and it is supposed to sound awesome. Is there a Be Awesome function? Where is the Make This Sound Awesome Button?’ </strong><br />
I’ve been looking for that button too.</p>
