Face A/B
/sonde/
PERCEPTS004
"FACE A/B" is deep, textural exploration of these linkages. The A side
setting up the exoskeleton of skanking morphology and the B side
elaborating on the structure; allowing it to growing arms, legs, feet,
claws, and antennae and move across the ocean. Melodies and timbres
explode in the crucible of the echo chamber. A ghostly melodica figure
appears and disappears just as quickly, only to reappear in another
form a moment later, translated into a different tongue, in stuttering
counterpoint to the thundering bass weight. The rhythm doubles, then
triples, looks back and marches forward to zion. Truly a striking
debut from this new artist.

13 Tracks
Gintas K
PERCEPTS003
Gintas K's 13 Tracks is a example of the beauty that can be manufactured from sonic detritus and sounds usually labeled and cast away as ordinary: clicks, crackles, sine wave drones, and subtly strafed textures collide into a musical discourse on the aesthetics of post-techno. The ghosts of genre creep in from time to time; a gentle Eno-like ambiance populates the first half of "Ka as zinau", only to be subsumed by a cold, marching, minimalist rhythm halfway through. Bits of the rhythmic energy of jungle and even a few heavily abstracted guitars make an appearance as the album progresses. Gintas K shows remarkable ability for finding character in the simplest of sounds and building into them complex, shifting, magnificent structures.

WAR
TELESEEN
PERCEPTS002
"WAR" represents a maturation of the electronic dub sound he can be found developing on recent singles and
compilation appearances. The music further attempts to chart out post-rave electronic music as a site of
revolution and experimentation, songs with overtly political titles such as "Work Will Not Set You Free" ,
an anarchist queering of the famous and fearsome axiom that adorned the gates of Auschwitz, mark that the
abstraction of the music is not mere formal exercise but a political act. Tracks like "Native Yard #133345"
that look both towards roots reggae and minimal techno give the record a distinct future-shock, as does the
continuous bed of noise and ambiance, electronic and otherwise that runs beneath "The Liberty Halls"(a title
that references both the IRA and Marcus Garvey's UNIA). This is the music of the mediated age, of full spectral
dominance, of the never ending, undeclared war.
