As Disassembler embarks on its direct mission of controlled electronics, there are textured layers of mechanical rhythms buried underneath sheets of lost signals.
As Sorin Paun (aka Datacrashrobot) manipulates his sound-structures after taking on a few prolific alias’ over the years, Datacrashrobot is definitely on the more technical end of the spectrum. Ruptured electro that segues into shivering clips and industrial clangs keeps Disassembler brewing new audio stars in a nebula of colliding particles. If the name of this moniker isn’t enough to depict the artists’ trajectory, then the track titles certainly will. “Data Shuffle Overload,” “Gyrator” and “Switching Subcircuits” are prime examples of the artists’ realization of describing his creations. But while very technical in its construction and final out-pour, there’s a similarity in style throughout Disassembler with a few minute mutations of pitch and echoed constants. Some might find selected tracks as repetitious while others will revel in its futuresque landscape. Robotic isolationist electro that ventures into dense spaces filled with crumbling atmospheres, broken satellites, tormenting ice-storms and shuffling data bursts. Industrial sounds are drenched with ambient shards of debris and crisp percussive maneuvers. As Disassembler embarks on its direct mission of controlled electronics, there are textured layers of mechanical rhythms buried underneath sheets of lost signals. It’s almost as if a human element wants to bust through the overall energy of this album as it pushes forward on its own. While relying on beats and chiseled highs, bass is injected on tracks like “Sensor Deviations” and “Nonrectifying Junction” where a plethora of leffield undulations contort the low-end to eventually balance this package of complex electroid foundations.
Disassembler is available on Battery Park Studio. [Release page | Buy at Juno]
