Potato.exe :: ERR_SESSION VOL.1 (Clean Error)

Potato.exe executes precision-built, acrobatic sound structures that, despite their mechanical framework, still exude warmth through rhythmic foundations of remarkable control.

A study in disjointed layers connecting

The vast and expensive field of glitched-out microbial electronics takes full form as Potato.exe pulls from every angle on ERR_SESSION VOL.1, released through the ever-forward-positioned Clean Error imprint. Opening with a barrage of video-game clicks and cuts, delicately woven blips give way on “Pxlrn” to explosive breakbeat strata, while “Tlrnc.0” and “Plk3rn” maneuver through mechanically shaved and articulated rhythms. Less a collection of disheveled pieces than a study in disjointed layers connecting, the record gradually reveals complex and creative broken-electro-nic forms.

Highlights “Trsh_Lp” and “Glnch.v2” take shape through morphing, Autechre, Alva Noto, and Suumhow-shaped crevasses, as Potato.exe generates several miles of crunched, sound-scraping beats on this inaugural ERR_SESSION series. “Vctr_∅∅” dives deeper into rugged terrain, opening up experimental avenues without losing its focus.

This downtempo foray into glitch and grit closes with the head-bobbing final chapter, “Klmn0,” bringing everything together in one fell swoop of cohesive flutter. Potato.exe executes precision-built, acrobatic sound structures that, despite their mechanical framework, still exude warmth through rhythmic foundations of remarkable control.

ERR_SESSION VOL.1 is available on Clean Error. [Bandcamp]
