December 18, 2007 · Posted in Electronic Music · Comments Off

Covenant were centimeters from quitting. But now the recharged band aims at version 2, with a new line-up (Daniel Myer), studio, sound and album. A new song was preimiered at Das Boot and the album recordings start in February.

But is this new talent enough to keep the group going, here you can find out more about his background in Architect and Haujob

Architect >>

architect is a hybrid of minimalistic drum’n’bass and smooth ambient soundscapes explored by the electronic mastermind daniel meyer.

like an architect who built up his constructions in different layers and channels, also daniel is working with this method by using only sampling tools. he’s constructing abstract sonic buildings which seem to be peculiar transparent – like concrete frames without any surfaces in a pleasant familiarity. the cold polyrhythmic drumcodes are bet into a melted ambience of safety and grace. it’s the warm timbre of this ambient drum’n bass recording which creates its own unique sonic profile.

For once I feel lost in space – Kenji Siratori

October 10, 2007 · Posted in Electronic Music · Comments Off

I must admit to everyone that I had never heard of this dude before (until today), when I saw that Wreathy (a new swedish elctro act) had a quote from this guy in one of their new songs. Below you find a description of him taken from myspace:

Kenji Siratori: a Japanese cyberpunk writer who is currently bombarding the internet with wave upon wave of highly experimental, uncompromising, progressive, intense prose. His is a writing style that not only breaks with tradition, it severs all cords, and can only really be compared to the kind of experimental writing techniques employed by the Surrealists, William Burroughs and Antonin Artaud. Embracing the image mayhem of the digital age, his relentless prose is nonsensical and extreme, avant-garde and confused, with precedence given to twisted imagery, pace and experimentation over

linear narrative and character development. With unparalleled stylistic terrorism, he unleashes his literary attack. An unprovoked assault on the senses. Blood Electric (Creation Books) was acclaimed by David Bowie.

However, I do have some rumors about this guy – that it isn´t actually one guy, but a collective of people. Not sure if this is true, but it would certainly explain the quantity of “bullshit” eminating from this source
