Yaxu presents his first EP “Peak Cut”, as the second release of the Computer Club label. Yaxu is the solo project of Alex McLean, algorave pioneer and one third of the seminal live coding band Slub, who have had people dancing to their algorithms since 2001. Peak Cut comes on a limited edition USB credit card containing the six track EP, bonus video and custom operating system, along with an exclusive library of over 100 algorithmic Tidal patterns to explore, adapt and remix.
Peak Cut is abstract and challenging, with beats and melodies spliced into chaotic reworkings of techno. However, detail and precision rewards closer listening, following the South Yorkshire tradition of pushing electronic music into alien territory, which somehow makes sense on (open-minded) dancefloors. All the music is created with code, using a pattern-based approach to generative music, developed by Alex over 15 years and now turned over to you, in the form of the Tidal software.
The USB card works as a memory stick, for accessing the audio and bonus material. The USB card is also bootable, into a Computer Club themed Linux operating system with Tidal ready installed. Tidal is a text-based mini-language accessible to non-programmers; documentation for how to get started is included, along with an exclusive library of algorithmic Tidal patterns to explore, including all the code for the EP tracks.
The operating system is Linux Mint, using the Computer Club theme. Tidal can be started from a shortcut on the desktop, with links to code examples and tutorials from Alex and the rest of the Tidal community.
Very smooth and pleasant. Even the unusual sounds such as Horus are actually really likable
Naunet is hands down the nicest sound, blistering-blissful harmonics.
I don't consider the rest filler. sumgui
These three tracks from Shawn Davis strip electronic music down to its bare essence, presenting pointillist synths and icy beats. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 31, 2021
Third vinyl EP in a series of archival releases by a RX-101, aka Dutch producer Erik Jong. Crunchy, blown out, high-octane rave acid. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 13, 2017
Check out the artwork ! Yea the music is just as good, and the mystery and intrigue of space is in there too. really liked all of the album!
Resuscitation is Brilliant! And many others are not far behind. The sound of the album is varied, with the cool brooding of the Phantom Automation to the tense enigmatic sound of Hallowed Lairs. Nerves and (…) make really cool use of the comm's pinging, leading to a really nice chilled ending. sumgui
