Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe
has been through many shifts in his musical career, from playing with influential Chicago rockers
90 Day Men
and forging haunting vocal drones as
Lichens
all the way to becoming a member of transcendent rockers
Om
and collaborating with
Lucky Dragons
and
Doug Aitken
.
Timon Irnok Manta
marks the beginning of a brand new stage in his process. Recorded under his full name and based on fabled British science fiction series
The Tomorrow People
, the record establishes Lowe's format perfectly, with a single mantra-like piece followed by a "version" in classic dub fashion. "M'Bondo" follows closely in the footsteps of Lowe's recent slew of highly-limited private-press releases, taking tumbling electrified rhythms and setting them up against slowly-modulating analog patterns, gradually building into something even more revenant. A far cry from the maximalist synthesizer music that has come to represent the norm, this is bass-heavy and precariously stripped bare, leaving only skeletons of influence and form. On "M'Bondo (Version)" we are given a closer look at Lowe's wide range of influences as he touches on
Aphex Twin
's
Selected Ambient Works II
, early
Popul Vuh
, and
Rhythm & Sound
in one fell swoop. The basic building blocks of the original track are still present, but graced with Lowe's unmistakable voice and punctuated by warbling tape hiss and chilling echoes. This is a brave step from one of the most compelling voices in experimental music, and the beginning of what promises to be a very rich musical seam.
