about

"manqué " is a collection of recordings for synthesizers, organ and keyboards made in a variety of locations in Louisiana and Mississippi between 2020-2023.

My intention was to make a meditative, melancholic ambient drone album. But just as my attempts at meditation are frequently disrupted by a barrage of thoughts and questions which appear seemingly out nowhere, I found these soundscapes disrupted by bursts of noise, static and assorted electronic sounds which too appear seemingly out of nowhere.

"Onzaga Frost" features saxophone by Mary Hanson Scott.
Cover art by Francis Zaander.

"As a WTUL DJ, Rotten Milk has long pushed his audience to explore sounds beyond the conventional music typically heard on air. Although I’m admittedly not as well acquainted with his work as an experimental musician, he demonstrates the same tenacity on manqué. Milk refers to the four-track release as his attempt at a “meditative, melancholic ambient drone album.” It draws upon three years of ambient recordings made using synthesizers, organ, and keyboards. Lengthy soundscapes, like the 10-minute long “Lapin Fantôme,” ebb and flow with layers of calming and jarring textures clashing against each other. “Onzaga Frost,” the release’s sole collaborative track, features Mary Hanson Scott’s ominous droning saxophone notes over the even more foreboding buzz of Rotten Milk’s amalgamation of electronic sounds."
