"drum parts that evolve"
The sounds of Mirrorshade by 13//ali_fawn, the musical project of Detroit-based DJ, producer, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist Alister Fawnwoda, is a rhythmic slow burning conflagration. Built on shifting drum beats, ambient noises that might include human groans, screaming guitars and synths from another world. It is at once, alien, alluring and oddly captivating. My description, the longer I think of it, falls in on itself just like the song I suppose. Of the track Ali offers:
“The emotional inspiration was to make a song people could make love and babies to.
One of the conceptual ideas was to create a song form that features bursts of drum parts that evolve over time held down by a percussion phrase. The main low instrument in the percussion section is Mauro’s Surdo drum. Mirrorshade is a track featuring Alex Carapetis on drums, Mauro Refosco on percussion, Jenny Lee Lindberg on Bass, Joey Stevens on guitar and me on synthesizers and programming. It was mixed by David Wrench and mastered by John Davis.”
Mirroshade features guest apearance from members of Warpaint and Atoms for Peace. The video is directed by Val Alpert (Post Malone's "White Iversion").
