Nightmares On Wax Boiler Room London DJ Set

My Heart With You is an acousmatic composition featuring original stereo recordings of the human voice and its various transformations, inspired by the song of the same title by The Rescues. It is an atmospheric exploration of a multitude of voices that have only been transformed from the recordings of two singers. The resulting composition is a foggy landscape of both comforting harmony and eerie dissonance–inviting the listener to search for a sense of resolution in an unstable aural world.

Final project created for MMEDIA 2G03 (Digital Audio) at McMaster University.

A heavy hitting long-player comes to Conditional in the form of Kindohm's magnum opus, 'RISC Chip'. 

Minneapolis-based Mike Hodnick, aka Kindohm, is widely known for his live-coded dancefloor interruptions, wringing splattered rhythms and textures from a text editor using the open source software TidalCycles. Adding analogue synths to his palette, 'RISC Chip' morphs and refines Kindohm's previous work into a bewilderingly singular work encompassing glitch, breakcore, IDM and techno. 

At once bruisingly complex and alluringly minimal, tracks like '32-bit Falcon' and 'Bit Dust' crunch and flex with pin-point percussion, opaque bass and paradoxical rhythm that only a mad-scientist approach to musicianship could afford. Elsewhere, 'Mint' and 'Practical Closures' let the sound open up a little more, giving some breathing room but keeping a stony gaze on the dancefloor. 

We're intensely proud to bring this destroyer into the Conditional fold. Roll up your sleeves and fall in.
