Arguably better known for being playing bass in Red Thread Theory, San Francisco-based musician, composer and producer Michael Mosley is also the creative mastermind behind the emerging recording project rhythmspltter. With rhythmspitter, Mosley explores instrumental indie rock and lo-fi beat-driven material that’s influenced from an eclectic array of sources, including Bill Laswell’s Material and Jah Wobble‘s Invaders of the Heart.
Each rhythmspitter composition sees Mosley weaving together a rich tapestry of instruments and rhythms from across the world. Each composition is meticulously crafted to resonate with listeners while providing a chill and captivating vibe that’s entrancing. With rhythmspitter, Mosley seeks to break down barriers and introduce audiences to a world of sonic exploration that they may not have encountered before — but he also hopes to open minds to the beauty of different styles and instrtuments.
Mosley’s latest rhythmsplitter single “Juxtaposition” off his forthcoming album Syncretism: Book of Transition is a mind-bending synthesis of lo-fi hip-hop beats, Bhangra, Indian classical music that sounds perfect for the lounge — and for the dance floor.
