What Inspired ‘Death Mask’?

In an interview, Fearless opened up about the creative influences that shaped this new album. He shared, “I’ve been soaking in Ramleh’s Hole In The Heart, the machine funk of Terrence Dixon’s ‘Population One’, Jamal Moss’ psychedelic techno jams, the stunning minimalism of Mika Vanio’s ‘Ø’ and Pan Sonic, the layered drones of LOOP, and drowning in the acid of TM404.”

He added, “Most centrally though, I’ve been inhaling the deepest dub, from Mark Ernestus’ distillations to the principles of originators like King Tubby and Scientist. As someone who’s always been obsessed with the genre, I loved the idea of recording live takes as separate stems, then doing dub-inspired mixes of these stems through my console.”

Moreover, Fearless discussed the unique gear he used during production, noting, “Some of the gear I use has a tendency to take on a life of its own – for example, the Effectron delay, which Arthur Russell also used. It was feeding back on itself, and ended up sounding like a radio conversation – literally voices from within the machine. On the Echoplex, the tape has never been changed. It’s eroded by the hands of time. When you record over the tape, things bleed in from what was there before, like people from the past.”
