mitgui It is just about impossible for me to pick a favorite, same feeling about qualchan.'s recent split w/Whettman Chelmets. Favorite = all of the above. They just work really well together. Favorite track: doorstep.

about

The split has been named 'Micrographia' after the book (as per Wikipedia: Micrographia or Some Physiological Descriptions of Minute Bodies Made by Magnifying Glasses. With Observations and Inquiries Thereupon is a historically significant book by Robert Hooke about his observations through various lenses).

The little slices of life/sonic micro-stories in the hazy beats that qualchan creates, coupled with the look through the sonic microscope at cell membranes (see track titles) of dogs versus shadows is a pairing of musicians that deserve a closer listen.

qualchan. is a native American producer from Portland, Oregon, whose music is focussed on living through the anthropocene. He has released through Strategic Tape Reserve, Hotham Sound, No Problema and many others.

dogs versus shadows - the radio DJ behind Kites and Pylons /experimental electronic producer Lee Pylon released his debut through London's Subexotic Records in June 2020 and has several follow-ups in the pipeline.

Some of the tracks are very short - microscopic, some might say. Imagine slicing open a life - you might examine a little part at a time. Imagine examining a cell membrane - you'll see parts of the whole, bit by bit you can piece them together and create an image.... that's what Micrographia sets out to be.
