KR3.005 

A Day in the Life - is the first chapter of a dedicated series fully curated by Steve Bicknell [@steve-bicknell] for KR3. 

This bold new work by the veteran English artist provides an insight into the mind of the artist. 

Side A features three tracks by The Evader, another face of Steve Bicknell. An obscure intro leads us straight to the point: 4/4 sounds, repetitive and hypnotic, not afraid to be heavy. In fact, that's the point: to take everything that is a burden to us and embrace it. After all, there can be no light without darkness. 

On Side B, Steve Bicknell has a killer approach. A parallel rail to Side A, with a more furious, still gloomy approach. He moves in the same direction but vents different emotions. The sound is harder, rawer, faster and more impetuous. 
An outro ends the EP, as if to represent a circle closing: The first lap inside A day in the life.

Giri, known also as Gi Napoletano, was born in Naples. Started playing with electronic music at 13 with a makeshift daw, Music, a Playstation videogame. His techno attitude has been more and more influenced by Detroit's Second Wave and UK techno scene.

He released tracks on Awry, Evod, Srie, Prophet, No Signal, Axis and others, and performed alongside artists such as Laurent Garnier, Steve Bicknell, Juan Atkins, Anthony Rother, Moritz von Oswald, Octave One, Matthew Herbert, Scan 7 and so on. In 2020 he founded his own label: Antiterra, whose name sums up the sci-fi concept of a theoretical planet in the Solar System which shares its Orbit with Earth and is constantly eclipsed by the Sun.

This set recorded for us reflects his musical vision that its clearly recognized in his productions as well. Sci-fi, deep and gritty techno that takes listeners float into another dimension. Enjoy the ride!

This is the fourth and final track in my PM project. These tracks are written, sampled, arranged and performed in a single two hour sitting.

This track was put together around a sample of a shoegazey guitar riff. It didn't really make sense until I dropped the big kick drum and then it went off in a techno direction, and I I added the burbling arpeggiated synths.

There are loads of effects on here as usual - the one that sticks out to me is the tonalizer applied to the beat (from Turnado). It adds some movement into the track which I find really propels the whole thing along. Turnado is really very cool although I only have the vaguest grasp of what I'm doing with it! Sometimes though I think a lack of mastery can be an advantage!

I ran this track through SubmitHub to find the genre, it tells me:

Electronica (48%)
Techno (46%)
Melodic Techno (24%)
Ambient (19%)
Electro (17%)

That's probably about right this time!

I've had brilliant fun with this project, all four tracks have come out well but very differently which I'm pleased about. Next step in the project is to put these together into a set which I can perform live.

I've also done an AM series of tracks, which is quite a different vibe. I'll be releasing them soon (January probably). 

I hope you've enjoyed these, please let me know what you think in the comments!

Cheers
