etienne jaumet is one half of the french duo, zombie zombie. they make this sort of improvisational krautrock / goblin / john carpenter-influenced horror soundtrack electronic tracks. while the drummer is off doing his thing as half of herman dune, etienne, who works as an engineer in a studio in paris, set to work on 'night music'. as with zombie zombie, etienne made this record pretty much on his own on vintage analog equipment. a big part of this album is carl craig's production and mixing of the album. they worked together to morph analog machines into modern psychedelic instruments. etienne composed this album with the 70s decade in mind, or rather with the way records were made then, thinking of both sides of the record, both movements. this is why his record is made of five tracks. the first is 20 minutes long and is the entire a side, while the other, shorter tracks are on the flipside. that was his way of making the '70s live on, but without insisting on the nostalgia of it all. at first listen you will immediately hear the urgency, contemporary and immediacy of the record.
