SERA027: Satellite Era presents “Dissociated Mutant Subculture EP” - an analysis of thoughtful experiments by Uge Ortiz, best known as AZ-Rotator (@solomute-labs)

Out now on all major platforms: https://ffm.to/sera027

The world begins to surround us in its warmth for yet another summer that is certain to be abundant of fresh music. Five lengthy years since our label’s conception, we find ourselves returning to our experimental roots again and again. This time around, we circle back with a familiar face and household name in the cyberspace we occupy.

20 years have gone by since the release of “Science of Chance,” the debut album of our longtime friend AZ-Rotator. Over the last two decades, the Madrid based producer has undergone a series of stylistic mutations that only continue to feed his curiosity for sonic studies. The foundational ‘germ’ of his origins still withholds its essence, meaningfully scribbled into his lab notes - yet his latest experiment “Dissociated Mutant Subculture EP” is a promising turn of the page. It builds on the idea of using randomness as a principle while still feeling full of intent - a clear mutation rather than ripping the journal in half. We begin the deep-dive with “Escal” and are immediately met with metallic percussion and eerie synths painting the soundscape. “Imstra” increases the energy further than the intro and flexes his masterful drum programming while welcoming a distorted, hardcore-like kick. Hidden beneath the clever progression and shuffling rhythm of “Sundmirex” is a tribute to oddball footwork; this Madrid-to-Chicago connection is only made possible by the power of our niche on the web. “Masthenod” explores the depths of frantic, high-octane breakcore with a weary tone throughout the track. “Elunnomticom” pulls the observer back into a warmer setting while still displaying an array of modular and generative sounds. The project is concluded with “Artificialle,” a track that not only stands out due to its freeform jazz-influenced nature, but also as an intriguing and potential preview of what the future may suggest for the fabled scientist.

With formative releases on some of our favorite offbeat imprints such as Ad Noiseam, Evel, and Detroit Underground, AZ-Rotator’s sonic spacecraft has returned to the Satellite Era universe. His latest offering “Dissociated Mutant Subculture EP” is a delightfully twisted contribution to our core collection of experimental electronic music, while leaving space for listener interpretation. It serves as a forward-thinking testament to the longevity and continuous improvement of his artistry.

After a break of 6 years, Atlanta based electronic musician, producer and sound designer Richard Devine returns with a new album ‘Sort\Lave’ on Venetian Snares‘ Timesig imprint. Recorded between 2016 and 2017 using Richard’s custom built Eurorack modular system and two Nord G2 Modular units, Sort\Lave features 12 tracks of intricate electronica that ranges from abrasive percussive experiments such as ‘Revsic‘ to ‘Astra’s dazzling juxtaposition of sounds and onto the radiant ambience of the album’s closer ‘Takara‘.

Talking about the album’s genesis Devine explains “I’ve been using modular synthesizers since I was 17, but have never written complete tracks using these newer systems. This was my first experiment to see if it would be possible and I probably spent about 5 years building up the systems that I used on this album.”

“I wanted the record to sound very different to my previous works which had been more cold, digital, clinical even, and had all been made using computers. The aim here was the complete opposite, to create something that felt very organic, detailed, spacious, big and warm and just as importantly, a record that you could put on and play all the way through that flowed in a seamless way.”

This new approach was to prove fruitful and enabled Devine to create music in an entirely new way. “I really wanted to break free from timeline-based music creation and do things with my hands on the fly,” he explains. “So the tracks are more like captured snapshot performances where I could experiment and play around with the idea of probability-based sequencing for every patch, string multiple sequencers together that would feed other sequencers to come up with interesting rhythms and melodies. It was really fun coming up with new sounds this way too, I felt like I created several I haven't heard before with this album. Some of the tracks on the album were complete accidents and evolved from something that happened spontaneously. In the end I feel this is one of the best records I have released to date, so I’m very excited to share it with the world.”

Making his debut in 1995, Devine’s releases for labels including Schematic, Warp Records and Detroit Underground have established him as one of the leading figures within the electronica community. In addition to his musical productions, Devine has enjoyed a lengthy and successful career in sound design, developing patches for many of the world’s leading music technology businesses and working with companies such as Google and Nike.

"I see myself as a receiving unit—sensing my surroundings, processing the emotions of others and myself, never knowing what's true or untrue, never knowing if I have processed things in the right or wrong way, because somehow, one's decisions will always be influenced by something or someone else. The emotional and physical contortions that society puppeteers us into manifesting."

Pre-order is open and the first track preview of my new EP Systik is now live! 

https://richarddevine.bandcamp.com/

BL_K Noise is proud to announce that Richard Devine - Systik will be released November 11 with pre-orders starting today. Systik is comprised of four acid tracks produced, performed live, and mastered by Richard, not originally intended to be released. Richard debuted his acid set at BL_K Noise in Los Angeles in January 2020 with the original goal of crafting and performing it throughout the rest of the year - but, as we all know, this year had different plans for us. Sinscur, the ever-evolving fractured acid track is available to stream and download on Bandcamp now.

Richard Devine’s influences, inspiration, and roots come from many sources - and this release is a homage paid to classic acid albums that inspired him in his early career but with a more modern approach and arsenal.

Every purchase in the pre-order period is entered to win a set of HEDDphones by Hedd (Heinz Electrodynamic Designs) valued at $1,899. A winner will be announced on November 11th. 

The artwork and all visual assets were created by Simona Noreik. The physical presentation was under the guidance of BL_K Noise.
