about

Catenary is the curve of a chain or cable when it’s hung between 2 fixed points, like the arc on a hanging bridge or telephone wires between poles. I like that metaphor for the winding curvature of this bass line (wires) between the heavy mechanical anchor of the drums (poles). It’s also got some samples from monty python that you probably won’t recognize

Snake Sines is almost like an afro uk funky track with the snake charmer flute creating a lumpy camel back catenary (almost definitely not the proper use of that) with a lot of clapping & snapping to keep the camel’s toes a-tapping 😬

Rum drums is tightrope walk between serious badman busy samples over gritty drawn out bassweight & some bright rhythmic synth & bell melodies to keep that balance between the dark & the light. Serve it with Pusser’s navy strength mixed with Wray & Nephew and we probably won’t see you again until Tuesday.
