In the four years since Italian-born, London-based artist Roberto Crippa released his acclaimed album Reverse on We Can Elude Control (WCEC 010LP, 2014), Crippa has been lurking amongst London streets at night slowly developing alchemical thoughts which would cast the ten shadows that make up SELENIC. Whereas Reverse can be viewed as an introspective album constructed as a set of individual audio "objects", SELENIC is an album gazing out into the world, relentlessly exposing and toying with its very fabric. Painstakingly assembled over a number of years, SELENIC is an album of immense power and subtly conceived amongst the silver reflections witnessed amongst the silent lustrous environment that surrounds everyone at night. A visceral auditory experience rendering itself from the numerous collapsed and recomposed forms of quantified electronic outlay: rhythm, ambience, and concrete all configured to construct an amorphous narrative based work where each piece unfolds as a mutated container of previous identities. Distinctive in development, design, and execution, SELENIC stands as a solitary gesture of Crippa's idiosyncratic experimental research.

We Can Elude Control presents the debut album from London-based electronic musician Roberto Crippa. Reverse brings together a body of work that draws influence from the worlds of noise, electroacoustic composition and musique concrète, forming a powerful and ritualistic study of sonic structure and material. Within the sculptural engineering of silence, space and raw electronics, Crippa employs a variety of sources ranging from wood, metal, drum skin and amplified concrete, constructing an innovative narrative exploration of sonic depth and contrast. The album reflects Crippa's work as one of London's key performers within the noise and improvised music scene, crafting a refined expansion of his full frequency live shows presented at the likes of Noise=Noise and Café OTO as well as Industria Superstudio in his native city of Milan. Reverse forms Crippa's landmark statement connecting the dots between his immersive gallery-based installations and visceral performances, shedding light on one of London's most unique underground electronic artists. Artwork and design by Roberto Crippa.
