TIGERMOTH- Effort And Essence

Description

EFFORT & ESSENCE IS THE MELDING OF THE ANCIENT WITH THE FUTURE. THE 3RD IN HIS PLANNED
TRILOGY FOR HIS ALBUMS, THIS ONE FINDS ITS HOME ON HYDROFUNK RECORDS. NOTED FOR HIS
DISTINCT USE OF HIP HOP RHYTHMS AND WORLD MUSIC SAMPLES, TIGERMOTH HAS INCREASINGLY
INCORPORATED ELEMENTS OF PSYCHADELICA, ABSTRACT VOCAL NARRATIVES, AND VIVID
SYNTHESISED SOUNDTRACKS INTO HIS WORK. EFFORT & ESSENCE IS THE PINNACLE OF THESE
STYLING’S. TAKING INFLUENCE FROM 60S SCIENCE FICTION AUTHORS SUCH AS ARTHUR C. CLARKE
AND PHILIP K DICK, THE LA BEATS SCENE AND THE GRIMIER SIDE OF MODERN TRAP, EFFORT &
ESSENCE EXPLORES A MORE FUTURISTIC SOUND. THE LISTENER IS TREATED TO AN INTERNATIONAL
BEATS JOURNEY, WITH NARRATION FROM FAMOUS POLITICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL FIGURES, ALL THE
WHILE TIGERMOTH PILOTING THE CRAFT ON THIS FICTITIOUS SPACE MISSION
SOMEWHERE IN THE MUSICAL ETHER THAT CONNECTS ARRAYS OF GENRES, YOU’LL FIND TIGERMOTH
FLOATING THROUGH SOUNDS, AND FEEDING OFF DIFFERENT ERAS. A HEALTHY DOSE OF ELECTRIC
JAZZ, BOOM BAP, PSYCHADELICA, WORLD MUSIC, AND LA BEATS – MAKE UP HIS MUSICAL DIET
