Drum & Donald



Donald Duck is one of my favorite figures: His grandiose misfortune is equaled only by his uncompromising arrogant self-confidence. When faced with some form of hardship, Donald resolutely responds with unrelenting fury. That way, any minor obstacle quickly spirals into a major catastrophe. Donald's reality is of profound and tragic humor, ruled by extreme violence. His body, however, can handle anything, it is infinitely flexible. Donald stretches and squashes and swooshes and splashes and spins and slams and shakes and smacks and smashes. And we laugh until we cry.

Certain strands of drum & bass echoes this excessive cartooney character. Over a bed of ambiguous ambient atmosphere an assault of shape-shifting rhythmic slapstick zips and zooms and zigzags. The soundtrack to this video was itself produced in a frenzy, as part of an entire album of drum & bass made during a month of complete internet free in 2018. 

Listen to the rest of the album here.
