Davi.Augusto



Artist Davi.Augusto

Spotlight: K-Murdock



DC-based producer K-Murdock provides the beats for the hip-hop group Panacea and is a member of the genre-spanning band Restoring Poetry In Music. Heavily influenced by Japanese producer Nujabes (of Samurai Champloo fame), his beats are more layered than bass/kick-heavy and tend to favor creative, ascending 4-note structures. Sample his albums below:






Terry Riley - A Rainbow in Curve Air (1969)



More cosmic than the usually freak-out electronica of the late 60's, Terry Riley's 3rd studio album shows his skills as an arranger as he uses overdubbing to play all of the electronics on the album. The electronic harpsichord and electric organ give the record a 70's vibe but thankfully without the guitar-solos-to-the-gods and Phil Collins drum sets of the Prog Rock era.

Track 1: Imagine what the inside of Brian Eno's head sounds like on LSD as he's composing a piece while his kid plays NES in the next room.
Track 2: Effects, horns, and an albums worth of possible Four Tet samples.
