Tonton video iki.

Tekstur-kompleks lan ritmik berani, Gryphon Rue's enigmatic full-length 4n_Objx diwenehi kanthi rasa kedhaftar. saka drone kaya banget --woven saka harmonium lan osilator - kanggo tactile, percussion live lan pulsing synths, sepuluh track sing kalebu 4n_Objx care, pulsa, lan melompat saka cliff kanggo ridge, sirkuit kanggo synapse.

Rue minangka komposer, artis interdisipliner, lan kurator - lan musik iki dibangun ing fascination karo potensi mimetik suara, "kekuatan kanggo nyaranake tindakan biologis utawa acara molekuler," ngandika Rue.

<pfseg id="0">Ada jinis rasa cyberpunk ing iki, ora ing cara nostalgic, nanging ing cara sing novel awal William Gibson nyusun biologi lan sintetis minangka kedhaftar ancaman lan takwa sexy. ing hakiki, Rue ngandika, "Aku ditarikake kanggo musik sing ngliwati sumber akustik lan elektronik, abstraksi saka kabeh media sing nyaranake perilaku kreatif." Quique.

“Rake’s Progress” is a chase scene which careens into the consequence that is “Dividend.” There is a sense of gravity in this music. “World’s Fastest Talking Man” threatens to –– and then does –– take off into steady passages reminiscent of Negativland or Terry Riley. 4n_Objx is on the whole syncretic. It grafts and fuses; it is dance music –– if by dance, we might describe the movement of electricity through the brain, fireflies through the night, or fluids through the body. Roughly hewn field recordings spark along channels of finely polished sound throughout 4n_Objx, all folded together by a wild but sophisticated sense of rhythm which will appeal to fans of African Head Charge, CAN’s Future Days, or Roberto Musci’s Tower of Silence.

This is not techno and Rue is not a DJ. Yet the gestures of live mixing feed what Rue calls “elastic dance” – a broader look at left-field dance, nervy grooves with a post-punk aesthetic. These alchemical objects remind us of the moments when punks like Lizzy Mercier Descloux or Liquid Liquid picked up bric-a-brac percussion. In the 90s, Rue was a kid regular at his grandfather’s warehouse Club Vinyl in New York, where he spent time in the DJ booth, eyes fixed on dancefloor heavyweights like Danny Tenaglia and Timmy Regisford.

But such gestures are only parts of a whole, its total shape something like a collaged spiral. Rue’s ability to variously juxtapose, layer, and fuse disparate elements into staggering cohesion suggests, in fact, that no object is truly foreign.

“Auscultation” began with recordings of the sounds emitted by Rue’s own stomach and “Operation for Preferred Embodiment” began with recordings of his father’s voice. “I wanted to transform the voice into an aeolian instrument,” Rue says. The inclusion of these organic, perhaps sentimental elements is, of course, more than novelty. “My music,” says Rue, “is about possession, nourishment. For me it provides a source and space of good work which is a refuge from externalization, from dispossession.” This statement speaks to the depths of Rue’s thinking about his work and the sensitivity of his execution. 4n_Objx is none of the things it appears to be; for that to be the case, it would have to be reduced, externalized. But like the poetry of John Ashberry (one of Rue’s idols), it resists this, reveals itself through mimesis and interplay, dense and shifting.

Rue wis rekaman kanggo Astral Editions, Not Fun, Soap Library, CAMP editions, lan Tiger Sushi lan wis kolaborasi karo Ka Baird, Qasim Naqvi, Bergsonist, Merche Blasco, Dean Wareham, Susie Ibarra, Valentina Magaletti, lan akeh wong liyane.
