Rage & Holy

"I like taking captures from the work process and share the result, lately I rely on basic statements as the "re" idea could fully unfold nowadays - you have access to already existing music and you can use it as source-database to be recontextualized. In this process I rely on old techniques of sound manipulation - taking a whole, butchering it, messing its layers, up/down sampling, granulation. The album comes as a two CD's pack - seperated as two approaches - rage and holy. They are result of real time preprocessing already existing music with "EI", king of soundtoy I developed (as a standalone win application and as PD patch to be platform independent and easy updateable (find them on CD2). Start playing with "EI" - browsing folders for mp3 files, pass through the loaded file, dis or re ordering it, and thus creating something new out of it... I am not aware of the legal issue, and do not relate nor emphasize on that at all. Thus the works I present are not plunderphony, sample abuse or collages, rather they are replicas and recontextualization. For sure there are much better examples of that culture you might listen - the people haredly involved in, like People like us, John Oswald, Carl Stone, V/VM, Hard Off, etc, but just it is my development, what i produced and decided to share. Often such works are perceived as sarcasms, but you find out it is not necessarey so. Ivan Bachev
