When King Britt ditches 4/4 for the outer realms, he goes way out. Case in point, this nearly 15-minute live piece titled “Trigger,” which floats around in a spacious zone. The piece closes on an anxious note, but spends much of its passing in a sing-song haze. There’s a foundational little riff that sounds like old-school ambient Aphex Twin, a little rhythmic-melodic head-nodder that becomes part of the background as the track proceeds.
For the gearheads in the house, Britt lists the equipment with which he performed it in the [accompanying note](https://soundcloud.com/kingbritt/trigger-live-version-king-britt) (Korg Mono/Poly, Roland JX3P, Critter & Guitari Pocket Piano, Moogerfooger, and Ableton Live “triggering softsynths as the foundation for the piece”).
That said, the track’s title is not a reference to the short signal that is a part of audio synthesis. “Trigger,” he writes, “is a response to all the corrupt police killing unarmed citizens of the world. This is a warning.”
