KRAKE #002

An EP highlighting the artists participating in Berlin's Krake festival, which is described in the below quote:

Krake is an annual Berlin based festival for challenging electronic music. Krake means octopus and the festival is organised in a comparable way: reaching out to selected locations during one week presenting the best in electronic music whatever style it is. The festival is not huge, not expensive, does not have big sponsoring deals or four different colour are passes. 

Florian Hecker - Articulação

In his new album, Articulação, Florian Hecker collaborates with Iranian philosopher and novelist Reza Negarestani as well as legendary experimental vocalist Joan La Barbara. Read the press release for proper orientation below:

Editions Mego is proud to release Articulação, the latest work by Florian Hecker. Articulação deepens Hecker’s collaboration with Reza Negarestani, author of the libretto created for Hinge. In two distinct renderings this piece articulates a complex scene in which the two obelisks of the script - one from the perspective of nature and one from the perspective of culture - are recited simultaneously in an informational yet dramatic style.
Hinge* features the legendary artist Joan La Barbara as its main voice and is delivered in microtonal ly converging pitches with sparse sample accurate time lags, shifts and twists. The repolarizing phrasings of Hinge recall Artaud’s Theater of Cruelty as much as Beckett’s minimalist narratives. Here the listener may construct a hinge, a pendulation between the right and the left obelisks; embarking upon navigation and synthesis while tracing the chimeras of nature and culture.
In apparent contrast, Hinge** engages the disparate modalities of its sources, complicating any assimilation of their respective traits. With an insight on the complexities of Hecker’s chimerized pieces, Robin Mackay summarizes: According to psychoacoustical research, the brain functions that serve to identify the ‘what’ and the ‘where’ of a sound operate upon different timescales, a finding Hecker exploits to produce sequences in which the fine time structure of one voice is sheathed in the amplitude envelope of another, producing an entity that remains recognizable as a voice while being spatially delocalized and semantically scrambled, and which the listener must reconstruct as a unified yet impossible synthetic creature - a chimera.
Between these pieces, Modulator (... meaningless, affectless, out of nothing ...), reveals, in a structural and formal manner, the synthetic means of modulation and topological transformation that appear in disguise in Hinge**. In a sequence of short episodes and chronics Modulator celebrates the notion of sound as an Immaterial. Its syntheticness and modern generation occurring as a bottom up and top down process across different scales, exciting the human minds hallucination of objects on the basis of auditory cues, without obvious compounding of a narrative progression.
Articulação is an isolated masterpiece of text, sound and synthesis.

Lanuk - vV

Hungarian artist Lanuk has released his new album vV with the Easterdaze imprint, Baba Vanga. The press release describes the project and its lineage:

Following in the footsteps of the stripped down minimalism of Superskin's Descent, is its apparent antithesis, Lanuk's vV, part glitchy, part psychotic, with ventures into techno, only to come out in breakcore or IDM-influenced noodly mentalism, which is far from inaccessible. Then again, there are tracks on this album which are stripped down and mellow, an ethereal comedown after the buoyant juggernaut. 

Sculpture - Hackle Scam Populator

Duo Sculpture, musician Dan Hayhurst and animator Reuben Sutherland, have released "Hackle Scam Populator" in preparation for their forthcoming release, Membrane Pop, on Daniel Lopatin's Software label.
