ubiquity's resident dancefloor alchemist john arnold has developed
the energetic experimental sound of his 2003 critically-lauded
debut full-length, "neighborhood science", into "style and
pattern", a comprehensive new album of precisely tuned,
devastatingly effective future funk for the club. created and
test-run over a series of live shows around the world, the album,
was inspired by direct interaction with crowds and dance floors.
'most of the music for the album was born out of live
performances. it allows for true improvisation and i can explore
all kinds of rhythms and music', explains arnold. since the
release of his debut arnold has developed a completely live,
non-stop electronic show bridging the gap between dj and producer.
this 'freestyle' technique was developed with label mate and
detroit neighbor jeremy ellis. both are trained musicians and
studio scientists. performing and creating tracks live allowed
arnold to test run music on the dance floor in front of a crowd.
these improvisational moments were the inspiration for this
excellent album. 'most of the music for the album was born out of
live performances. these freestyle shows involve creating music
from scratch; playing beats on the akai mpc, looping them and
playing keys on my guitar, while constantly looping and building',
explains arnold.
