"lately i've surrendered to the idea that i have very little [to] say
in what comes out when i produce. i have "technique" and "arsenal" of
ideas but truly no control over the end product. i think of it as soul
music! a true love for uncontrollable soul music. gut instinct that
drives it wherever it decides to go! no decision to "make a track" or "produce an album" but instead i surrender myself to soul! (i hope some
of this makes sense... perhaps i can explain it better in person
accompanied by drinks one day)" (mike castaneda / terminal11)once, terminal11's music was described as: "it's like hearing a drum
machine for the very first time." this description does seem like the
perfect definition of mike castaneda's sound - especially after
listening to his compilation appearances and the brilliant 'illegal
nervous habits' cd. the term 'beats' is re-defined by the sound maniac
from arizona. a whirl of samples, time lapse meters and black hole like
compression of track structures - "terminal 11’s sounds roams in an
accelerated twilight zone where music turns into data and data turns
into music" (jason forrest).
on 'fractured sunshine' all this madness is present, but castaneda has
straightened out everything a tiny bit. 'counter clockwise chant
pattern' f.e. has a song like structure - including a 'bridge' and some
sort of 'chorus'. however, terminal11 has re-built the patterns of
today's popular music into something new. this is far beyond 'academic
electronic music' where only sound itself counts; you can always hear
the human being behind the knobs that are being pushed. this music
arrogates intransigently - it has to be listened to. sure this is not
'easy listening' based on today's standards, but it is indeed soul
music - have a try, you won't regret it!
