about

Monochrome Adventures was originally released on Jester Records in 2009.

When printing in monochrome, shaded artwork is converted into a black and white rendering through the process of half toning. This technique involves arranging tiny dots of black with extreme precision, so as to fool the eye into thinking that it is seeing distinct tones of gray rather than a purely black and white representation. This process resembles the sound design concept for "Monochrome Adventures", where hundreds of tiny fragments of sound have been pieced together to form textures, bass lines, and drum hits. In essence, it’s the vision of using percussion as the basic building block of every sound.
