Amos Pitsch

About

In the rural community of Winchester, Wisconsin, Amos Pitsch kickstarted his musical path at the age of six. With a small, orange sparkling 60’s Japanese manufactured drum kit pulled out of his uncle’s attic, an heirloomed wooden chord organ with no legs, and a cheap karaoke machine, Pitsch toiled at the process of multi-track recording even before he understood basic mathematical concepts. The allure of creative ambition would take hold quickly and soon replaced other cheap thrills. He found this solitary pursuit more fitting to his social impulses than most other juvenile activities and it became apparent by adolescence that the production of music was his calling and the microphone and tape machine was his tool of choice. Acid Rain was made in much the same spirit- during a single reclusive pandemic month of 2020. Feverishly recorded on a clunky outdated digital recorder with no second thoughts or revisionary stages. At times the record takes on a cynical tone, taking stabs at divisive politics and wealth disparity. At other times, the concepts of nostalgia and romantic fantasy creep in. It sounds like an album that was labored over but not perfected. Which is certainly what it is. A timepiece for a precarious political period; an unreliable social forecast; a disquiet civil atmosphere. Amos Pitsch writes and performs in the groups Tenement and Dusk and is co-founder, producer, studio engineer, and designer for the Crutch Of Memory and JAC World labels.
