As half of Ohio-based free-jazz noise duo <strong>Moth Cock<\/strong>, a mainstay project on Hausu Mountain, Modugno\u2019s arrhythmic percussion loops and effects manipulation provides the accompaniment to lead skronks from saxophone, clarinet, and\/or trumpet. His solo work achieves equivalent levels of brain-boggling density within the context of standalone pieces buoyed by clattering percussion patterns and fragments of chopped pop and R&amp;B vocals. His self-proclaimed \u201cdowner album,\u201d <em>Didn\u2019t Have To Cut<\/em> trades in a measure of Khaki Blazer\u2019s typically high-tempo freneticism for doses of dreary narcosis cast off in smeared drone loops, pitched-down vocals, and sickly upper register synths. While still informed by the energy and relentless grids of footwork and the no-holds-barred sampling mentality of 90s hip-hop, Modugno\u2019s tracks flit between distinct atmospheres in real time and resist settling into any easily legible looping structures. Khaki Blazer approaches his twisted analog creations from the perspective of a surrealist film director, heaving new twists and obstacles into view to complicate the landscape and shatter the audience\u2019s attention span beyond repair.<\/h5>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h1>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"355\" src=\"http:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/v=2\/album=504864069\/size=grande2\/bgcol=FFFFFF\/linkcol=4285BB\/\" style=\"position:relative;display:block;width:300px;height:355px;\" allowtransparency=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hausumountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/khakiback.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3019\" alt=\"khakiback\" src=\"https:\/\/hausumountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/khakiback-1024x1024.jpg\" width=\"584\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hausumountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/khakiback-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hausumountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/khakiback-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hausumountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/khakiback-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hausumountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/khakiback.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cassette and digital release on 5\/19\/17.
