About this album

9 tracks (38:07)
Alex Strain and mr_mark_dollin are very excited to present to the world their ‘mmd_as’ collaborative album that showcases some of their best material from 2006 to 2009. The songs are the results of long winded conversations and file-swapping over the internet, separated by Australia’s tyranny of distance: one camp in Ryde, Sydney, the other in regional/rural Armidale, Australia. Alex and Mark found a workable process where Alex’s unbound creativity and melodic detailing complimented Mark’s methods of sonic polish, dubby atmospherics and avant pop leanings. The results saw the two working to break out of the boxes of their past styles and and create music that doesn’t easily fit into the plethora of trends of electronic music. Like bower birds building nests from borrowed material, the album has sprinklings of both modern and old club music styles (e.g. breaks, techno, dub, hiphop, etc) that utilizes digital approaches (such as glitch and software synthesis) balanced with 70’s analog and acoustic warmth (such as Alex’s CS-30 and Mark’s vocal and guitar recordings). Overall an album like this couldn’t have been produced by one person: so the songs have a tasteful multi-personality disorder that gives them a lively uniqueness. It doesn’t get too restrictive or academic in approach: there’s as much improvisation as there is strategizing.
