about

This album was created between sept 2020 and feb 2021


Like an old record left on repeat Jesse finds new music in the cuts and repeats of sounds forgotten. Reno recreates strings of notes reminiscent of old cartoons and black and white films, accompanied by beats that keep your mind tapping and fumbling to keep on beat. Bass grooves and old-time guitars play through vintage amps and broken speakers while samplers stretch notes and detunes percussion forces beats and notes to find new rhythms and tempos.

Part composition and part musical experiment,
The end result is something old and something new.

Jesse reno has been creating experimental trip hop, live improvisational and electronic music since 1995. Jesse approaches music more as and experiment and an expression than as a composition. Using a mix of samplers, analog synthesizers, turntables, guitar, bass, and drum machines..

Jesse approaches music as an experiment, an improvisation, and an expression. He focuses on creating an atmosphere. Using a mix of samplers, analog and digital synthesizers, turntables, guitar, bass, and drum machines. He loves creating sound from scratch. He will often create and entire song so he can sample from it like a dj takes from a record.

I love finding ways to express myself with electronic music in the same ways i do with live instruments. Finding the unexpected is my goal. I capture many improvisational tracks and layers often muting all the tracks but one so i cant hear the arrangement or composition to after collecting and recording all the base tracks. I then cut away all but the best bits one by one separate from the full mix. Once this is done i allow it all to play and see what I've made. At this point i edit and arrange and produce the sound into the final songs.

The music he creates ranges from experimental hip hop, to electronica, ambient, and film scores.
