Rusted Rhythms Vol. 41 - Lousy Anna A/V Mix

Music and visual art go together like chunky peanut butter and strawberry preserves, filling in the gaps and accentuating the flavors on both ends of the spectrum. Contemporary A/V mixes have quickly become one of the most accessible and distributed methods for engaging this multifaceted medium.. Denver resident Ashton Suire is showing off his skills as a connoisseur of dusty, boom-bap breaks and tightly composed beats through his Lousy Anna project. With releases across Subciety, all:Lo Collective, and Feyk Collective, he’s carved out a space for his brand of urbanized psychedelia.

For Rusted Rhythms Vol. 41, we tapped Lousy Anna to provide the next installment of the Rusted Rhythms A/V series. The mix itself is a stellar session of jazz flair and head-nod appreciation, featuring a threaded web of original tracks and selections from artists like mono massive and Black Rain. The visual compilation is a collage of colorful designs with mindful cinema; Alfred Hitchcock, Lone Ranger, and other monochromatic films of that era. The chopped rhythms appear to morph with the faces and bodies as they rotoscope and materialize, reaching back to the days of late night, acid-washed VH1 videos. From start to finish, it’s a choice journey across a range of fluid musical territories that’s sure to keep you locked in for the duration of Rusted Rhythms Vol. 41, premiering tonight at 8pm EDT.
