Moon Diagrams is the solo recording project of Deerhunter co-founder and drummer Moses John Archuleta. The track ‘Trappy Bats’ was largely recorded in a single night as a means to process the intense intersection of Archuleta’s social, political, and personal hysteria. The ‘Trappy Bats’ EP was released last August on the Sonic Cathedral label, and features this reworking by Detroit based producer Zachary Shigeto Saginaw (Shigeto).
Jean Guérin is a French explorative classical avant-garde and jazz drummer, and founder member of the heavy-acid jazzy collective Ergo Sum. Jean’s ‘Tacet’ album (from Latin for “to be quiet” or “non engaging”) is the result of his movie soundtrack work. ‘Tacet’ would be later reworked as the soundtrack of Claude Faraldo’s eccentric 1971 film “Bof… Anatomie d’un livreur”. The original ‘Tacet’ album was released on Futura Records.
