Suss Müsik’s last collaboration with the fantastic Marc Manning led Disquiet to describe it as “a moment of reflective calm before all hell breaks loose.” This short track feels like an aftermath, one that occurs just after the dark fury has done its damage. Something like Skip James singing an appalachian folk song while the Grinning Man peers in his window.
Leave a CommentSuss Müsik has been engaged in a number of productive collaborations with the wonderful artist and musician Marc Manning. Most recently, the partnership has resulted in a piece entitled Melting Square. Within 24 hours, the track attracted the most favorable attention in Suss Müsik’s short history.
The track was subsequently reviewed by Disquiet’s Marc Weidenbaum, who called the track “a moment of reflective calm before all hell breaks loose.” Mr. Manning and Suss continue to work on new material, so perhaps the comparable respite of Melting Square is short lived!
Leave a CommentSuss Müsik is working on an hour-long piece that sounds like an air conditioner. Naturally, there will be a saxophone solo at around the 25-minute mark. We are thusly negotiating terms with a jazz performer in New Orleans, because dichotomies often result in compelling yet incomprehensible art forms.
Leave a CommentMarc Weidenbaum wrote a lovely and interesting review of Suss Müsik’s piece Augmentative, which Mr. Weidenbaum describes as “a dream-state in which a vision of travel is, in fact, a metaphor for some entirely other deeply rooted anxiety.” It’s almost as if he can peer into our souls.
The themes of Disquiet mirror the essence of Suss Müsik’s occupational ethos: “Listening to art. Playing with audio. Sounding out technology. Composing in code.” The entire blog is worth your time (many wonderful reviews of unknown composers to be found), as are the quietly intense images that comprise the author’s Instagram gallery.
