sentielle objectif actualité
2lp

release date 10.09.2012

this recording contains 7 remixes by mark fell of the first three 12” singles released on the record label sensate focus in 2012. these were called ‘10’, ‘5’ and ‘3.3...’. the first of these, ‘10’, was itself a reworking of materials from an earlier project by fell and terre thaemlitz, released on comatonse recordings in 2012.the 7 remixes were written and recorded in june 2012 at the upper lounge, chatham street (uk) using a macbook pro running digital performer, fm8 (featuring manipulated dx100 and tx81z presets), battery and razor; monitored and mixed with sennheiser hd 25 headphones. here hand claps are constructed from the roland tr707 clap, two copies of which are detuned and panned hard left and right, with an additional yamaha rx11 clap 2 panned centrally; kick drums have been constructed with the roland tr707 kick 1 pitched up with bass content attenuated, overdubbed with samples from vinyl derived, it is assumed, from the roland tr909. two hi hats are used: the yamaha rx11 closed hat 1, and a sample from bassmental's ‘2 daye revisit (kerri chandler remix)’, released on nite grooves, 1994.

recommended contextual materials include: ‘can you feel it (dubby dub marc kinchen remix)’ by chez damier, released on kms, 1992; ‘hard to get’ by choo ables, released on e-sa records, 1993.

additional dj notes for playback synchronisation: track 1 has a tempo of 137 beats per minute with a rhythmic loop of 30 units each lasting 109.49 milliseconds. track 2, 126 bpm with 31 units each lasting 119.05ms. track 3, 113 bpm with 17 units each lasting 88.5ms. track 4, 128 bpm with 60 units each lasting 117.19ms, with inserted pauses of between 4 and 80 units. track 5, 128 bpm with 16 units each lasting 117.19ms. track 6, 128 bpm with 64 units each lasting 117.19ms. track 7, 125 bpm with 31 units each lasting 120ms.

pan (germany) #pan 38 lp

sensate focus / heatsickdéviation heat-treated” long playing record

  • x (18:17)

  • y (15:54)
december 2012 release ; ... album-length take-down of steveheatsickwarwick’s “déviation” ep (released earlier in the year, also on pan) by none other than mark fell (albeit under his sensate focus alter ego) ...

... some nice, choppy computer-disco moves ; never quite centralized rhythm-sets & a nasty evolving micro-tonal sawtooth wheeze will absolutely annoy both dance music and experimental music fans in equal measures ... which is to say it’s fantastic.
pan press release...

déviation heat-treated is mark fell's (snd) response to heatsick's recent déviation ep on pan. somewhere between cover version, remix or deconstruction. just over 34 minutes of re-layering of patterns and sounds. limited edition!

  • x

  • y
august 2012 release ; ... have you been paying attention to this series ? these records are really interesting, bringing mark’s love of “classic housetropes (tinkly electricpiano”, ecstatic vocal cadences) into the foreground, recasting them as mere elements in an intricate sonic net that only partially pays lip service to “functionality” and/or “usability” in a public context ...

... this, the third, arguably comes to the closest to something you’d hear at one of body & soul’s sunday rinse-outs, yet it retains that odd, discordant aftertaste that can only result from a series of algorithmic / automated-process choices that remove mark from the composition(s) directly, relegating key formal elements to mere coin-flips ...

... some of the more intriguing and oddly anti-social dance music being made right now ...
