why we love this

An ingenious concept that will leave you thoroughly enthralled from start to finish. Morusque leaves you questioning the backstories of the sounds and wondering: how fixed is an ending, really?

about the cassette

"This album was made using the last note of many existing tracks as the only audio material. Original tracks were picked at random on a hard drive and include a variety of styles, authors and ages. It's not always easy to determine what 'last note' means, most of the time I considered it to be the last sound intentionally produced by a musician.

In some cases, extracts were slightly extended to the last chord, pattern, and anything behind that point (applause, cracks, etc). For a fade-out, I would amplify the gain until I could isolate the last audible note. All the samples selected that way were used at some point. There were no leftovers. I was allowed to crop, pitch, reverse those samples and run them through basic effects (EQ, delay, etc). The final pieces were composed between 2015 and 2018.

Thanks to all the artists involved and sorry for not asking anyone's permission."
