about

Jared Blum aka Blanketship is back with a special 2 Ep set showcasing his unique “thrift store rock” sound collage style. The first EP The Sound of Fun Surrounds You, was composed and produced between 2004-2008. These songs run through a multitude of genres with the playful but mysterious little grooves that only Blanketship can provide. For the Klangwunder ep In May of 2008: Blanketship was asked by Vicki Bennett aka People Like Us to construct a special composition for DO OR DIY, her radio show on WFMU. In keeping with the style and sense of humor of PLU’s music and broadcast, he constructed a 35 minute piece that collated groovy nuggets and strange aural artifacts. Scratched vinyl, prog grooves, instructional records, library music, special education rock, world folk, easy listening, electronic bleeps, some yelling and some plain old weird humor.
---
By using rough sampling and processing techniques the cut-up itself becomes the art-form, humour, strangeness and charm emerging from the mundane through the cracks...But San Franciscan Jared Blum aka Blanketship , is altogether slicker,. His thickly layered and distinctly musical pieces, though completely sample based, all feature high-bitrate sound quality and smooth timestretching algorithms, so much so that it no longer feels like a cut-up at all but more like an uncannily CGI chimera."
-The Wire
