BALANCE is the first collaborative release from Frank Bretschneider
(Berlin) and Taylor Deupree (Brooklyn). Both of these artists are no
strangers to the ears of many; Taylor Deupree is one of New York's most
vibrant electronic producers. From his early techno days as a member of
PROTOTYPE 909 to his current status as one of N. America's key
'microscopic' electronic composers and to add runs the prestigious 12K
and LINE labels. Frank Bretschneider is key member and founder of the
prestigious RASTER MUSIC label (a collective that includes the talented
Carston Nicolai and released the 20 - 2000 series), he has critically
acclaimed releases under the names Komet and Produkt . It's easy to say
that Frank Bretschneider has created some of the most influential
spatial electronics of the late 90's. Utilizing both artists keen ears
for carefully crafted sounds, BALANCE blends the clean sine wave / white
noise of Bretschneider with the defined grit of Deupree's granular
synthesis. Realized entirely on Nord Modular synthesizers, Bretschneider
and Deupree exchanged patch files through email and began constructing
foundation loops. Bretschneider then created initial mixes of 9 songs
and then sent them to Deupree who remixed and re-processed them This
digital exchange allowed for them to work using their own methods and
aesthetic while combining the similarities of each others interests.
The result is a looping and churning rhythmic work that is both
synthetic, warm, dubby and tonally challenging. Thus BALANCE creates an
engaging balance between the 2 artists aesthetics.
