htrspltn: Garmonbozia EP //htrspltn – Garmonbozia EP (FILTER052) ABOUTTHERELEASE The second htrspltn release for Filter proves that we were right when we said we are launching the career of an extremely talented author. The Garmonbozia EP sounds even more suggestive and mysterious than the hugely supported 934texas. This time htrspltn seems even more withdrawn in his own world, putting his imagination on test and bringing awesome results. The title track is a classic leftfield electronica seen through the lens of the Siberian mastermind. Nystagm has hints of free jazz layered over twisted industrial percussion. I So Miss You sounds awfully detached and surprisingly warm at the same time. And BJ In Zero Gravity is probably the most introspective of the four songs doing tricks with a heavily processed voice phrase over an almost unrecognizable classical back-drop. Robot porn! ABOUTTHEARTIST Eastern Siberian resident htrspltn speaks of his work in the most abstract, decentered terms possible. In other words, the development of his lyricism is described as a removal of any differences between internal and external experience. Identity becomes endless extension – and speaking of one-self in the first person apparently becomes impossible: htrspltn himself is a complex web of thoughts, feelings, and associations. There’s a(n overriding) sense of morbid beauty. Beauty and morbidity are conflated by htrspltn’s discussion of the bodily differences between “inside” and “out” – or, more accurately, by speaking of their erasure: htrspltn is somewhat like a pornographic actor(!), except for the fact those people offer audiences their naked body, whereas htrspltn offers instead the nakedness of internal experience. | ||
