Building up and breaking down, the recording slowly melts in front of our eyes, its magnetic pulse and downtempo distortion is utterly sublime.
Mangled electronic beauty
Yet another live recording captured by the ever talented beat sculptor, Mantle of Gets. The balance between deformed glitch molecules and modular machines merge in rhythmic unison, once again. Comparing Mantle of Gets to Autechre’s sense of mangled electronic beauty shouldn’t go unnoticed either. In the way that Luke Williams is able to slice and dice flickering electro shards and shattered melodies, to abstract bleepery and fidgeting noises—the resemblance is uncannily slick. But does the parallel really matter? Good experimental electronics is simply good experimental electronics. Porto D311022D5810 carefully traverses several peaks and valleys along its hour-long transmission. Building up and breaking down, the recording slowly melts in front of our eyes, its magnetic pulse and downtempo distortion is utterly sublime. We’ll be ready for the next.
Porto D311022D5810 is available on Uchelfa. [Bandcamp]
