Release Note ......::
Raw analogue alchemies delivered with all the sleek and polish of its
black-on-black casing made Bryan BlackÆs EDLX debut last year as blackasteroid
a truly memorable one, consolidating all of the Motor manÆs proven Paisley
Park-honed engineering capabilities into a succinct and forward-facing EP.
Defined by its gritty textures, fizzy white noise manipulations and a signature
mechanical hum throughout, æBlack AcidÆ achieved a uniquely tactile sound
quality, reaffirming Bryan Black as a formidable one to watch under his revised
blackasteroid guise.
Recently Perc, Alva Noto, Len Faki, Angel Costa and DJ Emerson presented a
series of pithy reinventions of the EPÆs three lead tracks: ôBlack Acidö,
ôHydrogenö and ôPressureö, turning in a thoroughly versatile remix package
complete with fresh nuances ranging from peak time basement material to more
pensive headphone moments. A recomposed body of original æBlack AcidÆ sonic
material, once more sheathed in stunning minimalistic designùthis time in
reverse: white on white, with contrasting materials (matte laminate on the
cover and a high gloss UV varnish in the detail) providing the sole
differentiating factor.
This particularly considered art direction was the result of a creative
collaboration between Bryan Black (a designer himself and responsible for the
bulk of MotorÆs artwork), Jochem Paap and EDLX designer Jan Willem van den Ban
from Enchilada. Choosing to diversify from the usual colourfulness and moirΘ
structures of EDLX, the monotone colour palette and minimal aesthetic sets
these pieces apart as highly collectable art objects, meanwhile rendering the
blackasteroid project in a very physical, very personal wayùthoughtful design
in both sleeve and sound.
