Ryan James Ford knows the value of subtlety. It's a quality that
has taken him very far very fast: after moving from Calgary to
Berlin, he quickly found a fan in Marcel Dettmann. Enough has been
said about what Dettmann sees in Ford, so let's talk about why his
music resonates so strongly: he makes rock-solid techno with a
surprisingly gentle core. You could hear that in the breathy
chords of "Arco Pitcairn," or any number of the near-beatless
tracks he's made, which hold their own in a club despite a lack of
kick drums.
Stone Mountain Red is the first release on Ford's SHUT label, and
at first it seems more straightforward than its predecessors. But
the devil's in the details. "Kirra Rengo" might have a steamroller
kick drum, but the bassline and lead synth roll around its
contours gracefully, while submerged snares add a hint of
atmosphere. A beautiful two-chord progression and an early
breakdown offsets the gut-punch of "Erand Dirk," turning it into
an IDM daydream. "Lazore Thout" features impish drum programming
that tugs the track in different directions without interrupting
its momentum.
Those tracks are utilitarian but striking, but it's the final,
beatless track that shows his unique talent. Like the tune that
introduced him, "Eiliat Tirrayl" practically floats by, while the
percussion sounds like it was recorded through a wall. The real
star is the chords, the bright icy synths that feel as grandiose
as any techno anthem. On Stone Mountain Red, Ford manages to
inject distinctive traits into straight-up techno.
