Squarepusher is the nom de disque of one Tom Jenkinson. Jenkinson made his name as one of the most innovative experimentalists of the drum-and-bass movement, taking the genre out of the "just-dance-music" realm and giving it an aura of serious compositional theory. Though there's a stylistic thread to be found here, MUSIC IS ROTTED ONE NOTE finds Jenkinson leaving drum-and-bass far behind, in favor of a hybrid that's as unprecedented as it is indefinable. He uses the tools and influences that made his previous work so successful; studio wizardry, electronic manipulation of sound, and a pronounced jazzy streak. On MUSIC IS ROTTED, Jenkinson combines modern electronica with old-school "serious" electronic music, Miles-influenced electric jazz and some ambient touches, eschewing breakbeats and recognizable samples. What he's created here is akin to what New Music composers sometimes refer to as a "sound environment," one that reveals new facets with each listen.
