about

My friend Jurgen vanished mysteriously in 2010. No one has heard from him since.

In his apartment, he left behind a small collection of vintage, mostly-functional synths and drum machines.

With this collection was a note: “Give this stuff to Michael and tell him to make something with it."

After working on it piecemeal for a few years, and making individual tracks available on the internet, this is the final product.

Here’s to you, Jurgen, wherever you are.

Special thanks goes to Lisa (for being so patient when I was holed up with Jurgen's synths for hours at a a time) and to Jesse Howell (for motivating me to work at 130 BPM without over-thinking it) and to everyone who is nice.

The music of Dead Author was deeply influenced by the music of far more talented people. Check out the wonderful work done by these amazing artists: Carl Craig, John Talabot, J. Dilla, Plastikman, Flying Lotus, Burial, Autechre, Andy Stott, Arandel, Nicolas Jaar, Floating Points, Clams Casino, Madlib, Ricardo Villalobos, Derrick May, Steve Reich, Tim Hecker, Scientist, Herbie Hancock, Christoph de Babalon, Aphex Twin, Blondes, Metaform, Photek, Pantha du Prince, Brian Eno, Forest Swords, Dawn of MIDI, Morton Feldman...
