about

I don't remember who first suggested we put an album together, but as a long time Jet Jaguar fan (as in since the 90s) and someone who was lucky enough to appear on one of Michael's Angry Rabbit releases, I jumped at the chance. We had just recently finished our trio collaboration with Tim Koch (Takamu) when Michael's health forced him into a series of weekly hospital visits. To keep him engaged while waiting around in the hospital, I sent him files of recordings I had made of guitars or synths played through experimental effects pedals. Michael took these amorphous and chaotic sounds and used his laptop DAW to put them in a sequence that made sense. He also kept noticing that the boxes of rubber gloves in the hospital were labeled “small blue micro textured”. - Adrien

I’d also been into Adrien’s music since the 90s, when I picked up this mysterious compilation Highways Over Gardens in a record shop in Australia. I’ve always been the type of electronic music maker who stitches things together on screens and Adrien’s playing brings out ideas I’d never have. So it was a great and welcome diversion to take his starting points and focus on details and textures. And yes, with the hospital setting, there were bad jokes about “sick beats” in the online chat. Listening back now I don't connect the sounds with that time and if anything I find it mostly very peaceful and chilled. The title phrase made me smile, it seemed a weird combo of things out of context. Can you have a small shade of blue? Are we talking about something both small and micro? Each of the words suited the music and something about the slightly wonky combination seemed right as well. - Michael
