An extended player of form and dis-function, Edikt‘s rhythmic flutter, emotive appeal, and isolated landscapes is one that we’ll come back to again and again.
Formerly Moon Fear Moon on the En:peg Digital imprint, Juan Miguel Sobrepena’s 0belisc moniker will certainly appeal to Tri-Repetae-era Autechre, the reissued Edikt with a bonus PEAKS remix is available to those that may have missed out when it was originally released in 2017. “Indoktrination” Parts 1, 2, and 3 feature over 22-minutes of minimal clicks and cuts, broken beats, elongated blips, bleeps, industrial noises, harsh drone-scrapes, and seems to coalesce as a unified force all its own. “Kodex Errata” shimmies across glacial slabs of ice—a distilled static wash of microscopic tentacles maneuver and unfold throughout its mysterious outer shell. PEAKS takes a similar trajectory with his remix of “Kodex Errata”—a low rumbling bass and staccato beat dithers away, its fractured melodic loop binding each sound only to eventually break away. “4MDetekt” and the title track ebb and flow via crackling notes and shattered abstract shards of audible debris—both pieces deconstruct digital life-forms ultimately leaving the listener in a state of disarray. An extended player of form and dis-function, Edikt‘s rhythmic flutter, emotive appeal, and isolated landscapes is one that we’ll come back to again and again.
Edikt is available on High Grade Media.
