Pigeon Funk is the sandbox of glitch and whim where artists Seth Horvitz and Joshua Kit Clayton play. Rather than drift through minimal techno dubscapes, this music bubbles over with detail and surprise, channelling a prism of musical style. This cut off the The Largest Bird… EP on Musique Risquée is no exception. Seth says: “‘Blues For Raymond’ is the split-semen bastard love child of Blind Willie Johnson, Raymond Scott, and an anonymous 10-year-old breakdancer.” And on what you’ll find in the loop-cut stems: “An obsolete virtual synthesizer called ‘Laverne’ (from the legendary Pluggo set by Cycling ‘74) is lovingly programmed to simulate a robot’s interpretation of a 12-bar blues pattern. The voice of the artist formerly known as Sutekh can be heard moaning, coughing, and rasping throughout.”
