Bleep

Nicolas Jaar’s Other People label issue the debut album from New York producer Mark Hurst, aka A Pleasure. Conceptually, Jream House was devised by Hurst using numerical transposition – translating the names of artists influential to him into drum patterns. He then applied his own compositional and free improvisational techniques to the resulting rhythms. The method might be unconventional but that doesn’t detract from the music, which sets frequently gorgeous and rousing bass, synth, and guitar sounds to its intricate drum work.
