As an artist, Moir finds a lot of inspiration in the tricks your mind can
play on you. His name is a reference to the optical illusion that occurs when t
wo patterns are overlaid just-so (as seen the cover of his debut album, Shelter)
. He's frank about the influence of drugs on his workone of his first tracks was
simply called "Drugs," and he recently told The Quietus that druggy disorientati
on is something he looks for in music. Unsurprisingly, his own records explore a
murky, psychedelic space. Voices mutter in the fog, half melodies drift in and
out of focus, and kick drums plod along like a raver headed home at dawn.
Shelter, Moir's debut album, comes out this week on Actress's label, Werk
discs. RA. 429 expands on the mood of that LP, combining the producer's offbeat
material with hazy cuts from likeminded artists.
What have you been up to recently?
Watching David Lynch talking about transcendental meditation and Jodorow
sky's Dune on the loop while learning new gear I got, working on the variety of
album-related stuff, live show, some remixes and some new tunes too.
How and where was the mix recorded?
Well, I like to do mixes live so decks, mixer and some synth or effect b
ox for effects. It makes them less perfect and loose but that's what I'm into. I
spend some time figuring out what should be the selection and then I just go to
wine shop, get nice bottle and I'm in.
Can you tell us about the idea behind the mix?
I wanted to present some of my new music, some tunes I love by other art
ists as well as some unreleased material. My aim was to make the mix feel like a
live recording from a gigsomething that I would play on a night.
For most of us, you first popped onto the radar last year with the Never
Sleep EP. What were you up to before then?
Before that I was studying music in my free time. I always wanted to mak
e music, it just takes time and if you have other passions it's difficult to fin
ish it, which results in many druggy sleepless nights. I was always busy with de
sign and a variety of art projectsthat is my background.
How did you land your first record on Werkdiscs?
My mate knew Actress and he liked what I was doing so we decided to send
some of my material to Werkdiscs and that was pretty much it.
You're getting ready to release your first album, Shelter. When did you
start working on the record, and what has that process been like for you?
It's hard to say when I started working on the record, it was probably i
n me for longer then I thought Making Shelter was about finding an answer to a qu
estion: what is it that I'm trying to make? The actual music came later. I wante
d it to be one piece, not just a collection of tunes. I had some ideas and sketc
hes, but the moment I realised what Shelter was meant to be I started writing sp
ecific material for it.
What are you up to next?
Working on the Shelter show, experimenting with hardware possibilities a
nd tools that I want to introduce to my gigs. I'm also collaborating with my mat
e Disguise on the visual side of the shows. And I'm finishing a few remixes, DJ
mixes and thinking about new ideas for new material.
