back again only different

1. just over a decade since I programmed my first beat on a second hand MC303. time for me to gather everything up, discard the pointless bits and focus on what’s meaningful.

disuye has always been a catch-all for my music: part label, part alias, part business face (for the commercial studio) and partly me as an artist. the split between all these has been getting in the way of the just making music. the commercial studio is my livelihood so that keeps going.

operating as a label and as an artist. necessary evils: no-one would release my music way back when I started out, so I did it myself. music created with no audience might as well stay inside my head… so the single purpose of releasing music is to stop myself from going completely insane.

the entire world of image, promotion, PR, mobile ring-tones, new industry models, myspace & co., publishing, licensing, sync, mcps, prs, bookings, touring, merchandise, ego, fame and mailing lists… none of that shit is remotely interesting to me. but unfortunately seems to constitute the bulk of how ‘a successful artist’ is perceived. bullshit, really.

I like making noise at my studio.

I like talking about making noise with other people who like making noise.

I like designing album covers.

I like putting my music into other people’s projects.

I like making music videos and short films.

I like using technology new & old.

I like listening to honest music.

So with all that in mind, stay tuned.
