Bearclaw :: Breach I EP (Clean Error)

With a unique ability to fractalize microscopic melodic elements into intricate soundscapes and minimal synth structures, Breach I reimagines the (hyper) glitch genre with bold and subtle clarity.

Revitalizing eroded data fields

Clean Error continues to ignite and inspire glitch creators, pushing the boundaries of experimental electronic realms in ways that defy all expectations. At the heart of this sonic evolution is Breach I, the latest creation from Bearclaw (aka James Batista, Enabl.ed, the mastermind behind multidisciplinary imprint Clean Error.) With a unique ability to fractalize microscopic melodic elements into intricate soundscapes and minimal synth structures, Breach I reimagines the (hyper) glitch genre with bold and subtle clarity.

Tracks like “Burden Decay” rework click-hop and drone elements into something unfamiliar, while pieces like “Uplink Uproar” and “Corrupted Bliss” twist these sounds into distorted, cinematic dimensions. The subtle, yet striking static charge and DSP-rich textures tucked in the background of each track—especially on opener “Crumbling Core”—allow Batista to fully stretch his creative wings, revitalizing eroded data fields and exploring clean, meticulous errors that speak volumes through both sound and vision.

As Paper Ghost succinctly commented, “The percussion slams like a system error crashing into itself, the basslines grind like metal on concrete, and every synth feels like it’s malfunctioning on purpose. It’s chaotic, but there’s control in the destruction.”

Once again, fans of classic-era Lexaunculpt (hint, hint, The Blurring Of Trees), should immediately witness a re-energized sonic chapter.
