Combining musique concrete and the oriental theatre sounds of kabuki and Cantonese opera proved a little schematic, however, and soon, guided by the influence of Jacques Tati’s film Playtime, recording went in a different direction, focusing on the clash of early Modernist buzzwords (utopian design, fragmentary form, irrational themes) with slapstick. storytelling, and bathos. This framework allowed Momus to reconcile a love of the fragmented, right-brained sound of new experimental laptop groups like Scratch Pet Land, DAT Politics, Discom and Hypo (today’s ‘Formalists’ and ‘Modernists’) with his own particular evolution of the traditional song format — a unique mix of pastiche, unreliable narration, role playing, kulturkritik, and provocative comedy.
