From Boomkat:
*Limited edition CD housed in a sealed black pack and including 3 postcard prints to go alongside each of
the pieces featured* We Can Elude Control is a series of thirty minute audio-visual commissions
developed to create collaborative gallery performances between established electronic musicians working
in partnership with visual artists and designers. This CD and accompanying postcard set communicate
excerpts from these three commissioned projects, which include a 3D audio-visual sho wby Karl
O'Connor (Regis/BMB) and Mick Harris (Scorn) in partnership with Joanie Lemercier. A sonic landscape
survey produced by Radovan Scasasia (Secondo), and live programmed by Laurent Benner and Tommi
Eberwein. Then finally a hypnotic lighting installation designed by Karl Kliem and soundtracked by Roger
Semsroth aka Sleeparchive. These completed works were previewed in their entirety at Spike Island,
Bristol, and Sassoon Gallery, London, during March 2008. The O'Connor and Harris track is an 11 minute
exercise in detailed digital synthesis, sounding far removed from their usual rhythmic explorations, and
also removed from it's visual counterpart this may be a shock for fans of their work but if you're partial to
the granular textures of Florian Hecker or Peter Rehberg this will absolutely blow your mind. Radovan
Scasasia, aka Secondo, delivers a 14 minute composition that again sounds little like anything we've
previously heard from his popular Secondo alias, although followers of his excellent AM/PM project will
have a better idea of what to expect with a slowly expanding mass of glistening minimalism with lush
strings reminding us of Stars Of the Lid, and drawing on his studies as an architect at Zurich's ETH. The
contribution from Roger Semsroth aka Sleeparchive is the most uncompromising of the set. Over 10
minutes the master of clinical techno minimalism introduces a cold and austere development of hi-end
tones, occassional bursts of bass pulses and oceanic white noise to create an overwhelmingly dark and
uncompromising atmosphere, which we can only imagine would sound f*cking amazing with the
accompanying "hypnotic lighting installation". Devotees of sound art, computer music, Russel Haswell,
KTL, Hecker, Merzbow or indeed any of the involved artists will want in on this while copies last. Limited to
400 copies for the world - and Highly Recommended!
