| | | ecstasy (usa) #ecstasy 1 ep operative “ramp b/w pulse” long playing record - ramp (10:46)
- pulse (12:07)
| april 2010 release ; much anticipated recorded debut (the trio version made their live debut at the root strata on land fest back in september to rave reviews / slightly melted cilia) of this new scott goodwin project, merging maryanne amacher style inner-ear hallucination(s) with sähko-style raw electrical pulse & detroit/chicago-leaning machine music ...
first remotely dance-music-oriented thing i’ve heard in about 5 years that i’ve actually been excited about (well, maybe except for that reissue of the robert hood “minimal nation” material ; stuff is incredible) ... it’s all done with a home-brew modular synth (which is a piece of art in its own right) played/channeled by scott, with a live drummer (at the show it was heavy winged’s jed bindeman, not sure if he’s on the recorded version as well) along with live-played octapad sounds ... highly recommended !!! |

operative "pulse"
| "pulse" is our homage to the square wave and to its self-modulation, implying steady rhythm but also variation by its very structure. binaural high-hats beat out a martial time while analog circuits bubble out into a thick, stroboscopic sunset. if our song "ramp" is james tenney trying to meet joey beltram half-way, then maybe "pulse" is steve reich "music for 18 musicians" slouching towards orbital's "halcyon & on & on". |
