ARTIFICIAL 005
|
Hypnobeat is a true product of the open-ended spirit of DIY music that proliferated in the 1980s. This latest collection for Artificial Dance comprises three freshly unearthed iterations. Long-form "Polychrome Desert" is a pure percussive exercise, programmed and recorded by JDB in 1986 with a chain of three 808s filling out a stereo panorama. "Spies In Malaysia" is a live recording from a concert Hypnobeat performed in 1985. Recorded in the same year, "Sumatra Railway" was the product of an impromptu session between JDB and Victor Sol.

ARMA 014EP
|
Hypnobeat, spearheaded by James Dean Brown, invited Helena Hauff to join a him live for the Save Festival in Moscow in 2015. The material on Ritual Fire Dance EP is gathered from this set. Interlocking percussive rumble takes on a cyclical, tribal quality as aligned with traditional music as it is with contemporary electronics. For the technically minded out there, the kit list included one 707, three 808s, two 303s, Alesis airFX, EHX Deluxe Bass Big Miff Pi, Strymon El Capistan dTape Echo and Boss RE-20 Space Echo, all of which can be seen on the accompanying postcard.
