Mads Emil Nielsen: Percussion Loops - 2021 Repress


Four pieces based on drum/cymbal + synthesizer recordings by Mads Emil Nielsen, recorded in Berlin & Copenhagen.

The Wire Magazine - review:
"A nice set of unruly tracks that originate with percussion loops (from samples of recordings of solo percussion and also orchestral works), but achieve a strangeness and beauty all their own when manhandled by this Copenhagen based musician. If they're technically composed of beats, they are not built on a foundation of beat-as-beat so much as rest on beat-as-sound. Wrenched in a variety of unexpected directions, the percussion is about as dancy as a random shard from Han Bennink or Chris Corsano. Which suits me fine. Hard to not think these snippets wouldn't be great to use for soundtracks to antic animated films."
