Sonic Playground :: Kinder Creates ‘VHS’ During Shelter-In-Place For (iN)Sect Records

Posted on January 7, 2021 | Leave a comment

The summer of 2020 gave a lot of creatives space to explore, and with COVID-19 causing him to be laid off from his day job, Kinder had plenty of time to explore said space. In addition, he had just acquired a MV8800, which, in his words, “allowed (him) to completely change my work flow by sequencing out of the box”, meaning that his world of synthesizers and drum machines were no longer constrained to their sequencing abilities and could be combined prior to digital export. Now, it’s not like Kinder needs additional tools to excel, but with new freedom allowed to a mind already renowned for pushing equipment to its limits, it makes sense that the output would be nothing short of mind blowing. Synthesizers, drum machines and live instrumentation are blended together with vocal samples and textures from a handful of unique public domain sources. If you’re in to mind expanding music, click on the album cover above and check it out.

Jazztronic Journeys :: Kinder Prepares ‘MG’ Release

Posted on May 26, 2020 | Leave a comment

From the digital desk of Growth in Decay Records :

‘San Marcos-based electronic producer Kinder intertwines elements of jazz, funk, new age & house on his new album entitled MG. Applying his background as a bassist and his ear for lovely chord progressions, Kinder creates a lane of his own in the GiD catalogue.

Utilizing live instrumentation & a little programming, he gives his sound a unique and organic feel. The album title MG is derived from his heavy implementation of the classic Moog synthesizer that is found all over the release. After using the Moog for years, Kinder wanted to take a deeper dive into the iconic piece of gear. The goal was to apply it in a different manner than he has in the past.’

Check it out and lock yourself down a pre-order!

Moog Meditation :: Kinder Releases ‘And Longer Days Still’

Posted on October 23, 2019 | Leave a comment

The homie Kinder has an innate ability to make luscious, textured tracks out of seemingly minimal elements. For his latest magic trick, Kinder took some field recordings and a Moog MG1, and the end result was And Longer Days Still, a slowly evolving, steadily paced meditation in layering elements on top of a deceptively shifting rhythm. I’m a fan of these particular tracks that Kinder releases, as they remind me of score material… hopefully one day, I can employ him to score a film of mine, and people will hear what I hear in his work. Until that day comes, be sure to check out this track, share it around, and leave a like and/or comment so that Kinder knows folks are digging what he’s putting down.

Bitter Sweet :: Jane Claire Connects With (iN)Sect Records For ‘Sour Grapefruit’

Posted on February 25, 2019 | Leave a comment

Jane Claire has already made an indelible mark on the Austin scene as the founder of BossBabesATX, but a recent connection with (iN)Sect Records founder Butcher Bear has resulted in a powerful statement in the form of Sour Grapefruit, a four song EP featuring Claire‘s songwriting prowess positioned on the production of Exploded Drawing all-stars Reaganometry, Out of Place and kinder. The project is a reflection on embracing the nature of life and leaning into it rather than attempting to adjust what is to fit your idea of what it should be, be that relationships, identity, or any other elusive aspect of life that we all face. This project is definitely a strong one, and hopefully, it will result in a follow-up LP at some point with production from other members of (iN)Sect Records‘ extensive roster (or any other producer, for that matter).

Healing Sounds :: Kinder Rehabs Via ‘Big Low (Ginger Root)’

Posted on January 10, 2019 | Leave a comment

All of us have our own ways of healing when we’re sick. Most people I know take medicine. I try to clear my schedule of all things and sleep it out. It appears that my homeboy kinder is the type to expel sickness via making music. Dig the testimony from the man himself in regards to the creation of Big Low (Ginger Root) :

Made between 12/27/2018 and 1/04/2019 while I was bedridden with a peritonsillar abscess. Ambient for the sake of healing.

That about sums it up… the beats are spacious and ambient, occasionally coming together into slim but definitive structures that stand out on their own while sounding wonderful as a collection of tracks. Give the project a listen, a share, and a few bucks if you can so we can keep kinder healthy and productive.

Diverse Vibes :: Kinder Drops Mega-Mix With ‘Kinder Medleys Vol. 1’

Posted on September 27, 2018 | Leave a comment

One listen to the original production of Exploded Drawing standout kinder lets you know that his musical palette is diverse and expansive. His compositions easily touch the bases of electronic, hip-hop, folk and rock sensibilities without over-indulging in any specific genre for too long. With the recent rainy spell that San Marcos has weathered (no pun intended), kinder took it as an opportunity to dig through his vinyl collection and put together a feature-length mix in the form of kinder medleys vol. 1. Take a peek at the track listing, or just throw on some headphones and dive in… and be sure to share this one around, give it a like, and leave a comment on your favorite song!
