Rippers Notes:
Musically speaking, many artists from the industrial
and post-industrial scenes have addressed the topic
of future shock, be it explicitly or implicitly; for
example SPK, as early as 1979-1980àIn 2006, it is
still a hot topic, more than ever in fact. With a
will to sonically explore the intricate and infinite
mazes of information spun in the last few dozens
years, and illustrate the tremendous changes which
have been occurring during that period and which
affect us all, TELEPHERIQUE's Klaus Jochim and FLINT
GLASS' Gwenn Tremorin have joined forces for this
collaborative album, which is indeed a concept album
about information overload, the speed at which
technological changes occur and the negative effects
of this information overload on our psychological
state.s
Both artists have sampled and gathered a great deal
of sounds taken from computers or conferences on the
topic, in a totally digital way from the FLINT GLASS
perspective, and in an analogic/old-school fashion
from the TELEPHERIQUE perspective. The idea was to
confront the technological evolution with itself in
the composition process, in a chronological way, by
imagining the evolution from 1980 or so, up until
now. You can then expect a pleasing and surprising
æshockÆ between FLINT GLASS' trademark distorted
idm-ish beats, intertwined with sinister and
expansive atmospheres, and TELEPHERIQUE's dirty
soundscapes and machinesque old-school and sometimes
or often lo-fi drifts for which they have been
renowned since 1989. Let aural information flood you!
