Compost presents the exciting debut
album from Robinn, a native Frenchmen
now based in London. Multiphonia
delivers a bass-heavy sound that sits
somewhere between Four Tet, Bonobo,
Mount Kimbie, post-dubstep, and
electronic reggae. Featuring the vocals
of Nathaniel Pearn aka Natural Self.
The artist's childhood had two
superstructures, a very difficult
childhood with divorced parents,
distant friends, rough French hip hop
culture, and the more beautiful, sunny
reggae and dub culture. This diversity,
split in soul, mind, and thrill-seeking
society influence his production, while
such broken arrangements and deep
sounds are a typical post-dubstep
phenomenon. Working with Nathaniel
Pearn has forced Robinn to add more
structure to the instrumentals, because
Nathaniel is a songwriter with deep
lyrics and a futuristic, graceful,
broken voice. Multiphonia is inspired
by "multiphonics," an extended
technique in instrumental music in
which a monophonic instrument (one
which generally produces only one note
at a time) is made to produce several
notes at once. Robinn took a similar
approach with Nathaniel Pearn's voice
on the album -- his vocals are used as
lyrics but also as material, re-
sampling it to create loops, pitch,
chords, etc. Some instrumental tracks
like "Syntax Error" and "Talk to Me"
are produced with Pearn's voice used as
the main component, but also as
abstract texture, too.
