Ricardo Donoso – As Iron Sharpens Iron, One Verse Sharpens Another

An environment filled with a socially silent crowd that moves through pre-assigned routes highly interests us lately. This is echoed to our latest music references. Donoso’s synthetic and down-techno music delivers exactly what we long for. His scenery is constructed steadily with sequences dark and tensed.

Each track sets you in the middle of the dance floor distorting the surroundings, defining only you, the ecstatic mover. The crowd is marching circular and obedient. The synths on this Donoso’s release are fused harmonically realizing compositions of great depth. Percussion and beats are almost inexistent, but this is just fine.

Δε μου φαίνονται άδειες οι λεωφόροι. Ούτε κλειστά τα μαγαζιά. Είναι μια αίσθηση βέβαια, σαν αυτούς που φύγανε να ήρθαν και να τους αντικατάστησαν άλλοι. Λες και τους τοποθέτησαν. Για να γεμίσουν οι τρύπες. Σαν τον στόκο. Υπάρχει κίνηση, αλλά δεν υπάρχει νόημα. Υπάρχει κόσμος, αλλά δε μας νοιάζει.

Hop on the moving walkway and await "The Sphinx", "Diagonal Environment", "The Old Straight Track", "The Child Primitive" and "The Master Game".
