AFX - I’m Self Employed
The optimism of this track is really talking to me right now. It’s off Analord #6 which was the seventh 12” Richard James released in the Analord series. With this series Richard deliberately exploited the unpredictable behaviour of his analogue equipment to create music from their malfunction. This creative misuse of materials massively appeals to me, and if you go to the root of any great invention you’ll often find a similar process there.
