“Nanobot”, from the album “Stars, Plants & Bugs” (Dalang! Records).

open.spotify.com/artist/7rQ8p...
[…] “Underground, parasites and outcasts meet at The Nanobot, a shabby bar where roaches, spiders and tapeworms drown their sorrow in cheap lichen liquor…”
“Stars, Plants & Bugs” is a multi-genre concept album about Life, Death and Rebirth, disguised as a surreal story involving vibrant constellations, ancient trees and neurotic insects.
"The arrangements drift seamlessly from modernistic electronic and sci-fi fuzzed bass backgrounds, to venture forth across spacious cosmic vastness, to dropping in on rarefied alt-lounge jazz piano respectfully paying homage to ancient wonder". (Roger Trenwith - The Progressive Aspect)
Louis de Mieulle - bass, composition
Matt Garstka - drums
SharpEye - flute
Casimir Liberski - keyboards
Recorded, mixed and edited at The Breeding Ground, Brooklyn by Tariq Khan and Nikki Birch.

How this isn’t more popular is absolutely beyond me. The level of musicianship has been taken to an absolute whole new level. Matt Garstka is a fucking legend. Btw they changed the last chord on the piano breakdown at 3:01. I’m not sure maybe he added a few extensions but that chord is an absolutely amazing resolution to the tension of the previous chords. These guys are fucking geniuses.

[@LouisdeMieulle]

Yes that last chord is a sweet m7(9), indeed releasing the tension right before. I like that idea of tension/release a lot - be it harmonic, melodic or formal. Anyway, thanks for the support Kev!

[@kevinarndt6110]

LouisdeMieulle Thanks for the comment Louis!! Sorry it took me a while to reply. That m7(9) was the absolute perfect resolution! Gave me chills! I dig your music so much! And the reason really is that you guys have such extreme tensions and releases that makes the music so much more interesting. I’m still trying to wrap my head around Insect Party and every Jazz head I show it to loses their shit over it. The insane polymetric tension and release is absolutely nuts! It is so creative it’s unreal. Seriously, Louis keep up the amazing work. You should be a rockstar by now but America has shitty taste in music. Sorry. Are you guys playing a show anytime soon??

[@LouisdeMieulle]

Haha yeah that Insect Party was fun to write and record! Someday on my site I might explain how it's built and reveal a few tricks... O, that I were a rockstar! With girls at my feet and snow around my nostrils! Maybe I wasn't born at the right time... signature...

[@LouisdeMieulle]

Oh and the next show is in NJ in a month (NJ Prog House). Check my FB page for updates: facebook.com/LouisdeMieulle/

[@ironcomic]

[@andyham6094]

Garstkas drumming is so beautiful and so versatile.

[@Artur_Cherniak]

[@danielvanhorssen1325]

Snarky Puppy, meets Nerve, meets Stimpy Lockjaw. Freaking awesome.

[@unjoreanomas]

Came here for Matt : D !!

[@arnauloayza]

No words can explain what Nanobot made to my brain.

[@DevlinMeadows]

in the emotional sense...it feels like the machinations of an evil genius and an unsettling event on the horizon....technical, beautiful and surprisingly delicate.

[@bakedandsteaked]

I feel like this should be a song in a GTAV mission

[@adrianbgja]

rhythmically attractive

[@MrSphinxster]

This is so good. Matt is super versatile. Playing a bit like Arthur Hnatek here.

[@Jordarr8994]

Sarpay is probably the best flute player on earth

[@JGBDYT]

Absolutly don't know any oh these musicians but Matt, and that's really pleasant to see him playing somewhere else than in AAL, like whith these other great artists Sounds so good Thank you

[@combo306]

I would agree. AAL has some amazing stuff, but this is really refreshing. From the teasers, it's looking like AAL's next album is going to be mindless shredding...

[@JGBDYT]

@@combo306 yeah Im looking forward to it

[@sashacohen3911]

[@louison79]

+Inatia Band Official Haha the whole tune is in 4/4!

[@OfficialDarkCrusade]

DANG!! any particular grouping/s in that section?!? love it!

[@louison79]

+Inatia Band Official Well, it starts on the "and" of 4, with like 6 dotted quarters, and then the last 2 bars only have those 2 hits.

[@nilblasco9142]

T.R.A.M. ANYONE?

[@rumblepac6823]

Most fucking certeinly. I wished for many years to find another record like T.R.A.M. and I'm goddamned satisfied by all DeMieulle's album and also by the pianist's Cosmic Liberty.

[@combo306]

@@rumblepac6823 Cosmic Liberty is the best album I've ever heard hands down. Louis' stuff is amazing too.
