Kentucky Deadgrass by M25S05LF

This is where the boundaries, ideals, and rules of Bluegrass mandolin came to dry up.

Misused & abused mandolin, drums & other objects chopped into samples and played on the Roland SPD-SX. No stolen sounds, no conventional overdubs, no multiple takes—all impromptu; no sequencing, no algorithms; no pre- or post- digital effects—just “practical effects.”

The bonus track was made 07 May 2013. It was my attempt at Gypsy Jazz. The mandolin parts are improvised.
