A two track manifesto, Kronodigger yields even further refinement in the art of broken industrial bass. These are hard-edged kinetic electronics that merit further investigation.
Based in New York, Alexey Gorokholinskiy’s crafts sonic sculptures with utter clarity and visceral distortion. His Subliminal Design extended player from March 2015 marked a roughened breaks, bass and dub signature sound design and still echoes a year later (listen to “Chamaeleon” as a prime example). Now with the release of ENC015, a two track manifesto, Kronodigger yields even further refinement in the art of broken industrial bass. Both tracks spanning exactly 5-minutes and 32-seconds, “Electric Brain” kicks off with wobbly low-end shuffle and crunchy beat patterns and eventually decays into a digital signal processed haze. Its dark edges and atmospheric metallic noises are bent to extreme effect as a sped-up gritty synth rhythm emerges near its final minute. “Retribution,” on the other hand, flows in a more Subotnick / modular subconscious stream. A molten bass line is pulled through a ringing chime, the erratic experimental glitches and switches are buried to no end and a magnetic symphony organizes the broken dub turbulence midway. Perhaps an artist we should have looked out for at least a year ago, Kronodigger manufactures hard-edged kinetic electronics that merit further investigation.
ENC015 is available on Encrypted Audio.
