why we love this
Chaotic in its rhythm, yet organized in the structure of the titular loop, it explores percussion polyrythmically throughout.
about the record
Percussion Loops is a 7" with four pieces based on drum, cymbal, and synthesizer recordings from Copenhagen-based musician Mads Emil Nielsen, recorded in Berlin & Copenhagen, between 2012 and 2015.
"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."
