Dead Ambient is organised chaos as electronic music — or perhaps more appropriately, bordering-on chaos. It's a continuous folding, then refolding, of recycled material into threads that twist around one another in a kind of linear collage — a brutal origami. You'd be hard-pressed to explain exactly what is occurring from moment to moment — pure repetition is scarce, and noticeably striking when deployed — but Dead Ambient doesn't suffer for this. There is a consistent logic to these arrangements and forms that doesn't feel overwrought, or laborious.

Be they composite facets of 'classic' ambient, corroded hi-def sound-design, net concrète, or more immediately identifiable vocal detours, all the materials are smoothed and contoured into vibrant passages. Certain segments hearken back to the sublime cacophony of Berlin’s Janus, while others call more to mind the textural fascinations of other producers operating out of ‘Australia’.

Those familiar with r hunter’s prior output will be treated to an upscaling of the scope toyed with on rrrrrrafael. For those of you who haven’t yet ventured into this territory, Dead Ambient easily sits outside the catchall musical connotations of both ‘death’ and ‘ambience’. There are clear allusions to the departed, be...  more

The Brikc

Can't Think Straight

Nerve @lo4nerve is a Hong Kong based multidisciplinary artist whose practice mines the boundaries between contemporary music, sound art, multimedia theatre and underground subcultures. With a background in classical composition and 90s rave culture, he explores the extreme sound experience by mixing electroacoustic, beat, bass, fx and samples into a new form of free improvisation performance.

Fight or flight are the options during a global pandemic. Music can be relief, a space to forget, or it can be a mirror, a space to confront. Nerve gives us permission to dive in headlong. Told through the vernacular of bass and noise, this mix embodies 2020 in sound and sentiment. The opposite of escape. A pummeling reflection of the present and a foretelling of an unforeseen chaotic future. In this dystopian world, tracks dissolve into swift and relentless cuts, and just when it begins to feel overwhelming, you’re hit even harder with industrial cacophony and distant basement dance floor reverberations. The release is nothing short of cathartic; sometimes pain feels good too.
