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. 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. He then got into Venetian Snares' music at the Autechre curated ATP in 2003, eventually becoming friends with Aaron resulting in the Speed Dealer Moms collaboration which boosted his confidence in making electronic music. 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.Īfter discovering early UK rave music, John started dancing at drum & bass club nights in Los Angeles. '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.
