Maneuvering through dilapidated ambient-electronics, alien concrète reverberations and clicks’n’cuts, data swirl and digital flutter.
Gilbert :: Shift the Focus EP (030303)
Gilbert pulls on a range of influences and inspirations without ever allowing his style to become overly nostalgic or specific. Instead, he employs a fluency of composition that brings a real uniqueness to his sound.
