Eleventh studio album by the former Red Hot Chili Pepper.
This album was composed, produced, and recorded by John, who also served as the sound engineer in his Los Angeles studio. He envisions it as a true musical and personal breakthrough, a marriage between elaborate guitar compositions and the electronic expertise he accumulated during his previous albums The Empyrean and PBX Funicular Intaglio Zone. John states that Enclosure is the musical culmination of everything he has been striving for over the past five years.
The guitar will always remain the fundamental instrument, but his new favorite tools are machines such as synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines, samplers, and other computers. What attracts him most to these machines is that once mastered, he can immediately extract all sorts of instrumental sounds from them. He is as adept at programming as he is at playing the guitar; he has learned its language and integrated it into his musical instincts.
John was inspired by 20th-century composers such as Igor Stravinsky and Iannis Xenakis, and more recent electro experimentalists like Tom 'Squarepusher' Jenkinson, who is as much a bass virtuoso as he is a master of programming.
