Who are you?
My Name is Jack Adams and I make music under the guise “Mumdance”.
What do you want?
I want my broken elbow to heal properly so i can get this fucking bionic arm brace off. I look like a budget robocop right now.
How do you record?
Its different every time really & depends where I am. If I’m travelling I’ll work off my laptop with headphones and a tiny little korg midi keyboard. If I’m at my studio then it depends how lazy I’m feeling. I primarily work digitally, but more and more I am starting to do my own field recordings & finding original weird sounds out in the real world which I go and record, then mangle. I always try to switch up my song writing style & process as much as I can, primarily because it keeps it interesting for me, and secondarily because I like my sound to evolve and keep moving.
What do you sound Like?
That’s for you to decide really, I like to leave things open to interpretation. I enjoy playing on certain cultural cues or musical idioms to make someone think in a certain direction while listening to a track, but then try and turn all of that on its head by the end of the tune. Without getting too wanky, I guess the long and short of it is: I just sound like how I feel on the day that I made the tune.
