about

The MM14-FX album is a collection of fifteen longform CH tracks that were partially brought into existence via the Nady MM-14FX battery-powered 4-channel mixer, which also has a handy analog-like delay built into it. The Nady is a constant in my setup, because it can be used to mix out of a suitcase with a 100% battery powered hardware rig, and the delay aspect of it is incredibly versatile for running in an auxiliary send loop on my main studio board. Before I moved to Ohio, my first Nady unit burned out - literally: I'm not an engineer or a very handy person with repairing electronics, so all I can say is that it suddenly stopped working and briefly smelled of smoke. I replaced the unit, but for some reason, took the broken one with me to Ohio, where it was unpacked in the new White Pillar Workshop space. I'm not sure why I didn't throw it away - perhaps I thought I might attempt to repair it? Or maybe it just felt dear enough that I couldn't bear to think of it in the trash. Or, on a deeper level, I was waiting until the right time to give this rugged unit the respect it deserved, as I am doing with it here and now. I thought it was strange at first, but why not? Other musicians dedicate entire releases to synthesizers, drum machines, effects boxes...why not a reliable little mixer? After all, the Nady's simplicity is no doubt responsible for shaping much of these Halifaxian pastures into what they are. Sometimes, the notion of having less options and less flexibility just reinforces the need to make things that sound good in other ways, and I think that is precisely where this little unit succeeds. As such, I've assembled this 3xCD shrine around the burned out box, filled to the brim with music that once ran through it like hot techno blood, revealing one of the dozens (if not hundreds) of threads that connect every CH release to every other one like a massive system of streams, tributaries, rivers, oceans...
