Odd Nosdam “Burner” [Anticon]

Odd Nosdam (a.k.a. D. Philip Madson) is a prime instrumental & unpredictable constituent within the Anticon collective. Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, he exhibited early music fixations and prowess with samples & sound manipulating machinery. Odd Nosdam later relocated to the S.F. Bay Area in Berkeley to form the hip hop influenced but predominantly ambient & experimental trio cLOUDDEAD. Under his solo alias, he began expanding his compositions, structuring them into seamless low fidelity sound movements. Burner broadens Odd Nosdam’s horizons even further using Micro Moog, source material from obscure records, cassette 8 track tapes, found sound & field recording collages along with numerous instrumental contributors & vocalists including Dosh, Jel, Jessica Bailiff, and Mike Patton to name only a few! It’s an extremely well executed integration of pleasing ambient experimentalism, hissing strange samples, and dubbed druggy trip hop production. These soft psychedelic grooves periodically wade into shallow discord just long enough before eventually introducing more unusually rhythmic pleasure tones & textures. Connecting captivating & synthetic reproduced sample sounds with live artists & music instruments is a challenging art form; one that proves no problem for the unconventionally shrewd & ever-scheming Odd Nosdam.
