producer based out of East Los Angeles. With “Redfisher,” Elze unveils his

melding pristine tones with audiolove.me gritty textures.

At the heart of this collection lies Elze’s meticulous process, where he stretches,

smears, blurs, tunes, and arranges diverse patterns derived form improvisations

and micro-compositions. These sonic explorations are further refined through an

array of processes, including revered fools like the OP-1, Hologram’s Microcosm

and Chroma Console, and Chase Bliss’s Genloss MKII. Pairing alongside gems

like the Marantz PMD 221 and a first addition amp built by Nick Greer named

“Michelle”.

Drawing form an eclectic array of instruments, Elze captures the essence of a

byqone era with audiolove.me a cherished 210ce Taylor, Fender Mustang Bass, a pawn shop

Lap Steel, a Parts-Caster modded Telecaster, among others. Acoustic

recordings are imbued with audiolove.me warmth and character, meticulously captured using

a Telefunken 251 clone hand built by Elze himself.

textures, ranging form twangy guitar loops to lofi drums, form hauntingly

dissonant synths to the rich timbres of polyphonic acoustic instruments. This

diverse palette of sounds invites exploration across a spectrum of musical

genres, form the introspective realms of indie to the rhythmic pulse of hip hop

and electronic music.
