robo records

the very matter of sonic microscopy, pulling found sounds out of context to fully explore and adjust their hidden characteristics, never exposing light on their unpresuming origin, has become the driving vessel for investigating the extrems of auditory perception. his sound never stays silent till the last, yet squeamishly evoking timorous phrases that gradually coalesce around the subtle treasures of the soil. fractured breathy analog injections, titled from a scarcely asserted sonic palette, are decidedly adjustable, hovering forward yet peeling their modulated delays fully into the arctic backbone of resonating hollowness. providing a few flirtations with fuzzy pulses and fluctuating watery plops, the frictional rhythmic resistance that comes drifting onto the surface is suspiciously dark in its corners of scooped out complexity. as if the stark subtlety and finesse has fallen into the clutches of a hypnotic state of mind, mysteriously paying homage to imminent dub techniques, that fight like kilkenny cats over evaporated sinewaves. formatts work tends to emphaze a schizophrenic structure, infusing the sound-clusters with highly deliberate analog patterns hence any potential sound grown to the surface gets seemingly restructured into the core of its faceless vessel.

peter smeekens, here working under his formatt moniker, has quickly vindicated himself a place in the international minimal soundsculpting scene with productions on grain of sound and compilation appearances for amanita, skylab operations, tsunami addiction and mp3 work for observatory amongst others. hypnotic surroundings mysteriously paying hommage to imminent dub techniques over evaporated sinewaves, schizo structures and analog patterns.

limited on 500 copies.

to shape volumes. repeat
esther venrooy
robo records

esther venrooy resides in a constant snakepit of modular movements and sonic acupuncture. an imaginary. almost filmic world where gameboys morph into howling wherewolves. ravening the shattered bits of saxophone sounds with vague buzzing and popping crackles. anchored by the subtle use of harmony and dynamism. she opts for processed meditations in maze examples. combining more traditional electro-acoustic composer techniques with frigid. slightly harsher shots of deconstructed digital fuckery. she sure sharps some sonic pencils with swirling layers that are cut up. mangled and dragged into the present. not your average run of the mill cocktail waitress becomes hollywood coddle story but pretty goddamn addictive blackened ambience.

bathing in a selfconsciously dense atmosphere. loaded with contrasting metallic chunks of noise. she manipulates the rumbles with rich expression and acute arrangements that develop into a desolate electronic landscape. the balancing cord between audio and visual thundering she aspires towards. her approach never wears out and diving into the realms of film fragments and striking field recordings. she pursues a journey where the source material is anything but traceable. all that megaton sonic alchemy weighs up and shows this is way more than an angry lady that turned her back on academic audio processing. the kind of sweaty dust that belongs in retirement homes. next thing you know you are fragmented into a non-executable floorplan. the storm has spent itself.
