like many musicians who have embraced the frequent-flying lifestyle
of the laptop/hard-disc set, peter "pita" rehberg spent much of
1998 and 1999 far from his vienna home base, circling the globe
with little more than a g3 powerbook and a suitcase at his side.
it's an exciting time to be a musician; your hard drive can be
packed with samples and dsp plug-ins and set up anywhere within
minutes. get out was composed on the go - on trains, in hotel
rooms, in private homes, in friends' studios - wherever our
wandering macintosh minstrel might have found himself during his
travels through paris, oxford, amsterdam, tokyo, new york, and
vienna. the album holds to the wysiwig creed; what you hear has
sustained only a modicum of postproduction "file management." get
out witnesses a significant leap forward in compositional quality
over the fussy frequency fidgets and visceral inner-ear assault
tactics of 1996's prize-winning seven tons for free. throughout the
nine untitled tracks, pita's store of raw sound remains the same
cache of sour glitches, whiny frequencies, and corroded samples
from which his remix, duo, solo, and improv projects all cull.
perhaps a streak of masochism informs his choice of such unworkable
and impaired sounds. but pita pulls it off with the patience and
persistence of a master puzzle-smith, finding a perfect fit for
each fragment or frequency regardless of its irregularity. more
importantly, however, get out reflects pita's increasingly refined
grasp of dynamics and striking dramatic effect. track 3 provides
the show-stopping peak, as the disc's lone melody is decorously
unfurled only to be suddenly and startlingly tormented by a
blizzard of digital detritus and resampled feedback.
