Piltdown Sound - mixmux
Format : Digital
Release : April 2009
The United States-based Piltdown Sound collective unearths an
assemblage of synthetic and organic textures for their Mixmux EP,
combining a discriminating palate for human and machine rhythm into
their interpretation of minimal techno.
D1 : Mixmux - 6:22
The EP's title track is a steady dancefloor builder which leaves
nothing out of place -- chugging drums, staccato vocal edits, and rich
washes of reverberation are subtly shifted around a powerful hypnotic
pulse which carries this peak hour track.
D2 : Tiempo Grande - 8:09
Another solid track, Tiempo Grande lays down chopped vox and ethnic
percussion on a bed of beefy analog bass. The rhythmic workout gives
way to an unexpected psychedelic guitar breakdown, culminating in a
swirling melodic cacophony as the beat returns. Twisted horn stabs and
guttural vocal articulations round out this meaty techno entree.
D3 : Tinyfunk - 5:48
Layers of subliminal percolating melodies and bubbling bass rise from
the dark in this subtly melodic ass mover. The stomp builds into a
march as syncopated snare rolls and cryptic plucking rejoin the
original theme to the pleasure of all.
Stolen Nature adeptly bridges the synthetic/organic abyss with uniquely composed granular textures, aleatoric rhythmic patterns and modal jazz structures. The release's arcane theme is unfalteringly cohesive and conceptual from beginning to end. Miller's compositional sensibility on Stolen Nature has reconciled the poles of unadulterated, native sounds and processed, algorithmic music. These two adverse ideas are adroitly synthesized into a hybrid entity that lives and breathes on its own. The stochastic electronics laden deep in Stolen Nature's structure seem to have a sentient quality that hauntingly reflects recent developments in the field of artificial intelligence. The intricate machinations featured on Stolen Nature are inclined to deep personal sentiments and emotion. Cullen's application of traditional instruments takes the antiquated oral tradition and fuses it into a futuristic context.
