J.F. Burma - Nomadic EP (The Bunker New York 026) CLIPS

J. F. Burma is a new analog synth project of Jeremy Berman, a longtime friend of The Bunker, who we met via the forums of I-F’s Cybernetic Broadcasting System internet radio station in the early 2000’s. While living in Brooklyn, Jeremy spent many hours each week searching for undiscovered gems among the piles of records (and sometimes rat skeletons) at notorious Greenpoint crate-digging spot The Thing. Inspired and educated by the music he was finding, he purchased his first modular and started building synthesizers and modules in spite of his lack of training in electrical engineering. Currently, about half of his current Eurorack rig has been DIY’ed via trial and error. Jeremy put out his first record entitled B.O.Y. on Shaddock Records in 2013, under the name Factory Aire. This debut 12” included remixes from DJ Stingray and Atom™ and was enthusiastically received by critics, DJs and collectors. After a move to Los Angeles and the birth of his daughter, music took a bit of a back seat and The Bunker New York is proud to release the Nomadic EP, his first record produced under the influence of a toddler. All three tracks have a very live feel as Jeremy draws most of his inspiration from interacting with music machines during late night jam sessions: “When I’m jamming out I tend to gravitate towards trippier vibes, which is just a reflection of my personal affinity for acid and psychedelic music” he tells us. The three tracks that comprise the Nomadic EP are the precisely perfect mystical outsider jams for those sunrises when a bit of human-modulated machine music is exactly what’s needed.
