An intoxicating mess of patch cables and chiseled tonal activity that is well worth the price of admission.
TJ Hertz (aka Objekt) debuts with PAN after a successful split with Dopplereffekt on Leisure System described as “a deluge of acid rain skidding along a superhydrophobic surface.” Flatland delivers broken slabs of particulate matter and data streams flowing through gritty electrical conduits that diverge via miniscule clicks and erratic cuts.
Pulses surrounded by bleep electro and digitized industrial slivers are revealed on Flatland with billowing bass extracts. Objekt captures these moving bits and bytes, corrosive low-end meanderings, clipped beatwork and eerie modular squabbles with skill. Solid edges, shifted echoes and a definitive electronic slurry are shaped around technically molten audio manipulations. All that is left is an intoxicating mess of patch cables and chiseled tonal activity that is well worth the price of admission.
Flatland is available on PAN.
