IEntry · Anesthesia for the Signal Age

Acousmatic modular percussion and glitch-cut IDM, built from CRT hum, surgical steel, failing hard drives and close-miked foley. The newest record on the label.

The record treats percussion as an editing problem: every hit is a sampled object — steel, glass, a dead drive — cut to a grid and then broken against it. Ten tracks, sequenced as one continuous listen rather than a collection of ideas.

For editors and directors looking for industrial texture that still has rhythm, and for listeners who want the studio's score palette without the picture.
