Perhaps better known for the explosive techno of his recent M_nus releases, Jon Gaiser turns his attention to exploring inner dimensions through his new Void guise. Stepping away from the dancefloor to present the debut Void album No Sudden Movements, the new project finds Gaiser in a mode unfamiliar to those who have come to know him as the manufacturer of incendiary EPs such as Some Slip (MINUS 112EP) and Unstable Witness. Conversely, No Sudden Movements seeks warmth as the cold European winter approaches Gaiser's adopted hometown of Berlin, traversing ambient soundscapes and downtempo rhythms to create a sparser, gentler sound. Remaining true to his attention to production detail that has characterized him as one of the most accomplished and distinctive electronic music producers working today, Gaiser said the ideas and feeling behind this project came from the urge to create something that is easy to listen to, while at the same time possessing a hidden complexity: "A lot of the material was recorded during the dark, colder months in Berlin, when it was most inspiring to create something that was bleak by nature and sparse by composition, but using warm sounds to off-balance and provide an escape. There will be some moments of atmosphere, some moments of melody, and some moments where it all comes together."
