Deformed abstract electronics with a left of center pulse
The ever dependable Kaer’Uiks continue to nurture and cultivate sound-art that floats just outside the realms of (standard) exploratory electronics.
Automatism is just another example of releasing extraterrestrial sound sculptures that will take years to unfold properly as Autechre tunes usually do—this time from the artist Francesco Corvi (aka Nesso). Take “Laminar Flow,” for example—its deconstructed beats and bass unfold as detuned industrial shards break apart as William Fields take the same track and remixes it into a decomposed robotic electro beauty (perhaps the finest of the lot). “Edge Condition” runs in a parallel trajectory as “Laminar Flow,” its mechanical glitch bits crumple and erode a low rumbling bass glues it together. The Richard Devine-tinged industrial bass stabs and shuffling notes of “Dataquake” are fractured beyond belief as Fausto Mercier remix gives it a hardened outer shell with blips’n bleeps galore. JFrank offers a rendition titled “Conditional Flow” where fractured post-industrial percussive shards erode and triangulate themselves.
