I made this album during my first six months in Los Angeles, when I was afraid to leave the apartment. I had the multi-tracks from Evan’s album on my hard drive, so I devoted myself to building something new out of every song from “A Moose Supreme” … This is the result.
Here’s the official version:
“SEAMOO: A Moose, Remixed is the culmination and summation of something I’ve wanted to do for a long time: take an existing album in its premixed, multitrack condition and rebuild it from the ground up in a manner influenced by dub reggae, J-psych, and various masters of electronic sound manipulation.
Although many if not most of the sounds on SEAMOO are those of electric guitar, bass guitar and drum kit, I would say that the most important instrument used was a computer. In this way I was able to place the guitar solo from one song into a different piece entirely; turn heavy grooves into ambient soundscapes (and vice versa); build entire rhythm sections out of simple drum fills; and incorporate “found object” elements such as bird calls, people’s voices, and random electronic noise. Influences on this process included Lee “Scratch” Perry, Amon Tobin, Squarepusher, Muslimgauze, Wagon Christ, Earl “Chinna” Smith, Acid Mothers Temple and The Beastie Boys.
I have found this music to be very effective in two distinct modes of listening. For my eclectic taste, it is wonderful to have it playing as I entertain guests or clean the apartment. Alternately, it is wonderful space-out music...”
