![]() By the time an idea came up that seemed like the beginning of a tune, I had a lot of fresh elements ready to go. I'd spend weeks making breakbeats, souping up a drum machine, making DX7 patches, and so on. Throughout the recording of Maya, I would prepare to make each track very slowly, but would finish tracks very quickly. but honestly, these sound more refined than most of the other electronic material Frusciante put out. After a full year of that, I decided to make things easier, to the degree that I could regularly finish tracks I enjoyed listening to, while continuing many of the practices I‘d developed. John Frusciante - Renoise Tracks 2009 - 2011 (2015) 1) Genex 44 2) Singular Scope 85 3) Motiern 58 4) Hew Brenderson 5) Unending 126 Mix 6) Culminate 7) 90/180 8) Anea 18 I mean, these are discarded demos. The process of making his tracks changed over time as John explains “For a full year before I started this record, I worked within self-imposed limitations and rules that made the music-making process as difficult as possible, programming for programming's sake. It’s a varied and personal take with sophisticated, authentic production balanced against John’s acute sense of melody, an inspired blending of machines and samples infused with a joyful energy. 'Maya' is inspired by his favourite music: '91 to '96 UK breakbeat hardcore and jungle. She loved music, and with such a personal title, it didn't seem right to call myself Trickfinger, somehow, so it's by John Frusciante." He says "Maya was with me as I made music for 15 years, so I wanted to name it after her. The record is dedicated to his cat Maya who recently passed away, a fellow traveller in his otherwise solitary music making sessions. John Frusciante releases the first instrumental electronic album under his own name on Aaron Funk's Timesig label.
