Jack Dejohnette Tribute mix. Your favorite drummer’s favorite drummer’s favorite drummer. The Maestro’s supernatural sensitivity as a collaborator, composer, and improviser are on full display across the 1000+ recordings in his body of work. These are some of my personal touchstones.
Thanks to @geobriensystem for having me on again!
Low Air 10/24/25
Reflecting years of listening from behind the drum kit with Animal Collective, Boredoms, Dan Deacon, and Lifted arrives Low Air, the first solo LP from Jeremy Hyman.
The record is collected from home studio sessions, taken on the road, and sequenced through reflections of the live experience. Building on previous dance-floor-tuned outputs for Max D’s Future Times label, Low Air moves into a broader compositional arena: pared-down rhythms guide a wash of understated harmony, and compositions surface from a stream of purling noise. There were no standard operations across the music, but one key to the sound is the doubling and tripling of playback speed to fit musical passages into old sampling equipment. This process opened up a new line of inquiry into fidelity and pitch that can be heard throughout the LP.
Low Air is available as an LP distributed through Rubadub, as well as digitally.
@lorre_mill got me back in the Intershop zone chatting about this sweet Dettinger groove. Unknown how it was originally constructed but probably not with brushes… @kompaktrecords
