"Cold Crystal Timbres" recalls the immediate past. Hight-tech emotions and synthetic unnaturalness: When sonic hybridities were echoing early 2000s pop.

Once a haven for nerds and enthusiasts, the internet became accessible to many in the early 2010s. Utopias linked to the early internet, such as that of an anonymous and democratic cyberspace, are finally being displaced by a neoliberal Silicon Valley ideology that manifests itself in platforms like Facebook and Amazon.

Rebecca Fuxen and Martin Rovan’s mixtape "Cold Crystal Timbres" pays tribute to the music that emerged from this structural change and aesthetically relates to it. This hybrid music genre, which developed between 2010 and 2015, is characterized by both cold digital sounds and nostalgic pop references. It is embedded in collectives, loose associations, labels, events, or curatorial projects that network primarily through platforms such as SoundCloud and Myspace. Although this music takes place mostly in traditional club settings, it is transnational, digital networking practices that create political activism and solidarity: many collectives establish platforms for DJs, producers, and activists. They reclaim the white- and male-dominated club scene and emphasize the queer context of its genesis and the central role of BPoC within club music.

Listening to the digital, high-resolution sounds of the time one comes to grasp the intersections of digital everyday culture and music as well as the influence that technological developments have on the realities of the artists’ lives.

EE3 is a suggestive succession of strangely assembled pieces of micromondo miscellanea as small bizarre objects and surreal items right for Artetetra’s continuously metastasizing outré wunderkammer. 

A showcase of heterogeneous materials that cover an entire imaginal ecosystem going from the grotesque to the hazy, to the hypnagogic and absurd til the utterly whimsical; often resulting in non-linear audio experiences with humoristic and paradoxical outcomes. Abstract exotica, amphibian footwork, compositional audio-jokes, brutal counterpoint metal, aquatic sci-fi shredding, steel-cold cognitive fado, glossolalia madrigals, metaphysical hip-hop, sunitty conglomerations, abrasive warfare cartoon OSTs. All and all, let’s just call it Quinto Mondo. 

But let's get down to the nitty-gritty: 
STILL NOT MUCH 3 SAY 
NEO°GEO 3.0 
30 TRACKS 
30 IMAGINAL FAMILY SUPERSTARS 
2H OF HAILE MUZAK FROM THE FLOATING WORLD 
FUN IS THE MF GUN
