Dawn Chorus is not, however, some conceptual return to vintage recording techniques with live players, as Daft Punk did on Random Access Memories. But on his most recent record, Dawn Chorus (out now on LuckyMe), Greene flipped the musical script.Īs Greene recently told us over a nearly hour-long Skype conversation, he wanted to bring live instrumentation and vocal performances into the mix – to do something highly collaborative. On past recordings, Greene (real name Philippe Aubin-Dionne) embraced the near limitlessness of laptop sound design and production – sequencing and editing hardware sounds and R&B samples into a reverberant, cohesive whole.

Like Jamie xx, How to Dress Well, and many other artists of the last decade, he is known to blend elements of ambient, house, post-Burial dubstep, and R&B into a sort of amorphous, genreless sound.

For the better part of ten years, Toronto-based electronic musician Jacques Greene has produced a hazy and highly emotive type of dance music.
