<p>Rut busting and reconstructing has probably been happening since the discovery of fire and advent of the wheel. Guitarists confront it each time they pick up a new instrument to avoid predictable patterns and tones. <em>Premier Guitar</em> contributor (and recent Rig Rundown subject) <a href="https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundowns/pete-thorn" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pete Thorn</a> has addressed this by <a href="https://www.premierguitar.com/pro-advice/tone-tips-rut-busters" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">suggesting several practices</a> to approach our beloved 6 strings in a fresh perspective. And recently <a href="https://www.premierguitar.com/tag/john-bohlinger" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">John Bohlinger</a> recommended <a href="https://www.premierguitar.com/pro-advice/last-call/stop-playing-guitar" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">playing a different instrument</a> to fertilize musical crops. But what does a guitar-playing producer and multi-instrumentalist do to shake things up for his band’s fourth album? Well, for <a href="https://www.premierguitar.com/artists/puscifer" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Puscifer</a>’s Mat Mitchell and the band’s 2020 release, <a href="https://www.premierguitar.com/artists/puscifer" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Existential Reckoning</em></a>, you go back in time 40 years to 8-bit synth sounds and the archaic sampling lurking inside the proto-digital Fairlight CMI.</p><p>“Part of [the appeal],” Mitchell told <a href="https://www.premierguitar.com/artists/puscifer" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>PG </em>in a 2021 interview</a>, “is the flow—the way that you work when you’re using these tools. It forces you to do things differently. They are very limited, and being creative within very set boundaries is really good.” And being the creative force he is, Mitchell found gold in the antiquated sounds and tech
