"..literally brilliant"
chroniques electroniques
"this is a smart, unusual album which takes an interesting concept
and applies it with deft skill."
bleep43
winter north atlantic's debut boltfish release a memento for dr
mori is a stylish fusion of electronic and acoustic instruments.
itÆs title is both a play on the latin term æmemento moriÆ,
meaning æremember you shall dieÆ, and a dedication to japanese
robotics theorist dr masahiro mori, who posited the theory of the
uncanny valley - a hypothesis on the emotional response of humans
to non-human entities, which observed that human-like appearance
in robotics is only appealing unto a certain point, at which it
becomes eerie and disturbing.
indeed there is a sense of disquiet underscoring the album,
through a collision of the natural and the synthetic. acoustic and
instrumental sound sources include electric and acoustic guitars,
accordion, melodica, harp, recorder, violin, thumb piano, ukulele,
vocals, and recordings of old super 8 projectors and other random
noises. these are combined with vintage analogue keyboards,
electronic textures and treatments, understated glitchy edits and
downbeat broken beats inspired by idm and abstract hip hop.
