The sound projector/Ed Pinsent(January 2010)

Zonk’t is Laurent Perrier’s alias for producing slightly more uptempo music, as evidenced on the vinyl LP Beat Wins You and Me (LP SOP 012), a record which exhibits a high degree of near-ruthless precision in its execution as its slightly clunky beatbox pumps out mechanical rhythms with about as much joy as a domestic robot slave going about its chores. Both ‘War’ and ‘Pore’, the two opening cuts, are quite aggressive (the second decidedly so), and only the fourth cut ‘Phlegmon’ seems to offer any relief in this otherwise airless and dark-skied landscape. The final cut ‘Glaire’ is especially inventive, experimenting with simple cross-rhythms and complex layers of unusual electronic sounds, to produce a dense aural experience.
