Good morning.

Today we’re listening to Dedekind Cut, an ambient/experimental music project from the Sacramento-born and -raised Fred Warmsley. Originally producing tracks under the name Lee Bannon, Warmsley jettisoned the moniker in 2015, saying it had “reached its limits.”¹ His new act, Dedekind Cut, would be influenced by artists like Steve Reich, Laurie Anderson, and Juliana Huxtable.² Dedekind Cut’s breakout work was the 2016 LP $uccessor, but today we’re playing two lesser known but equally deserving records. Tahoe, from 2018, is mostly soothing ambient, with a couple tracks veering into Warp Records-like experimentalism. American Zen, the 2016 EP, shows his minimalist influences and has an accurate title.
