Le single OPEN FIRE marque le retour en 2022 de REVERSE ENGINEERING, une des références de l’électro hip-hop suisse, 7 ans après le dernier opus SCHEMERS (2015). Il se veut comme le coup d’envoi d’une nouvelle série de productions originales, renouant avec la patte sonore typique qui a fait la renommée du duo.

OPEN FIRE parachute l’auditeur dans un paysage à priori hostile et radioactif, duquel se dégage toutefois une beauté naturelle qui se laisse contempler indéfiniment. Les basses profondes et les rythmiques puissantes communient avec les mélodies aériennes, offrant au tableau d’un monde en ruine des jeux de lumières saisissants.

Open Fire

An 2022 :  le futur est plus incertain que jamais. L'humanité est partagée entre espoir de changement et résignation face à un environnement saccagé. A l'image de ce présent instable, PERSPECTIVE est une fable cyberpunk épique. Le  décor noir et blanc emmène l’auditeur pour un voyage vers l’inconnu, dans une ambiance contrastée, à la fois sombre et optimiste.

The year 2022 : The future has never been so uncertain.  Humanity is split between hope for change and resignation facing a ruined environment.  The black and white decor brings the listener to voyage toward the unknown, in a contrasted atmosphere, at times dark and optimistic.
