eR DoN "Tomorrow is Not a Promise"

• Words: Bryant Rutledge
• Label: Fourthcity

Robert Nelson's music is tough to keep pace with–in the best possible way. On Subroutines, his just-released full-length for Fourthcity, The Seattle-based producer who works under the alias eR DoN has crafted an album of original samples, like keyboards, field recordings, guitars, and soft percussion, then distorted these sounds so thoroughly you'd be hard pressed to match the new version with the original. Add to that a tempo that takes its cue from the erratic, ever-changing pace of a free jazz session, and you've got an album that will get the experimental electronic music lovers bouncing around like the tracks themselves.
