special digipack and limited to 1000 copies worlwide. akira
rabelais is a texas born, los angeles based composer and
developer. he studied with computer scientists bill dixon and tom
erbe. since 1990 he's been coding sound and graphic software, and
recording his own music. his first album is now released on mille
plateaux┤s dark electronic sublabel ritornell. 'i'm a composer
writing software, not an engineer making music', he says. he
created argeeiphontes lyre, a sound tool, which is a firm
favourite of electronic producers like scanner or thaemlitz.
rabelais┤ program takes a sound source and a target sound, thunks
one into the other according to a process whose variables can be
set by the user, and out comes a third, mutant sound file. on
elongated pentagonal pyramid he gingerly teases out the tissues of
surface noise in similar vein to the likes of terre thaemlitz,
achim wollscheid and mego┤s rehberg & bauer. 'but simply because
he insists on placing individual clarity of vision at the center
of the creative process, rather than be enslaved and driven by the
technological toys and tools of the day, he will always remain a
liberating remove from any definable scene.' -- the wire. computer
randomization plays an integral role in creative decision making
processes. the soul of digital media lies in creating and
interacting with the plasticity of information, rabelais' software
and his music are about shapeshifts and transmutations.
