THN083 >> ALTA INFIDELIDAD - CACTUS Y VOLCANES
[18.01.2006 | TRIPPY CHILEAN MINIMALISM]
Mediterranean climate occurs on the western coasts of
continental landmasses, roughly between the latitudes of 30°
and 45° north and south of the equator. Examples include much
of California and certain parts of southwestern Oregon,
Western Australia, Cape Province in South Africa, the
Mediterranean Basin itself and of course Chile. The country
occupies a long coastal strip between the Andes mountains and
the Pacific Ocean. When it is Winter in Europe, it is hot
summer in Chile.
The northern Atacama desert contains great mineral wealth,
primarily copper and nitrates. The relatively small Central
Valley, which includes Santiago, dominates the country in terms
of population and agricultural resources. This area also is
the historical center from which Chile expanded in the late
19th century, when it integrated the northern and southern
regions. Southern Chile is rich in forests and grazing lands
and features a string of volcanoes and lakes. The southern
coast is a labyrinth of fjords, inlets, canals, twisting
peninsulas, and islands. The Andes Mountains are located on
the eastern border.
Yes, Chile definately is a beautiful and exciting spot on earth
that today is more vibrant than ever - for electronic minimalism
it goes, at least. The electronic music scene in Chile has
developed - and expanded - quickly in the past years and a
couple of artists have taken the leap and get released on
international labels. No, we're not talking about the merits of
the exile-Chileans Ricardo or Luciano, what we have here are
two of the most ambitious artists of that country gathering on
this special cooperation release: Alta Infidelidad, a
cooperation between Receptor (Jorge Cortes) and Christian Dittmann.
Receptor lives and works in Santiago de Chile, where he has
founded the local Ojo de Apolo Label in 1997. They did
several releases and events with that label and its members
(Bios, Danieto, Spin). Nowadays Receptor represents his music
outside Chile by playing live in Argentina and also in Europe.
His sound recently received attention by several vinyllabels -
in 2005 the label Plong! from Cologne released a 12? called
Countdown for Eliza and the italian label Citymorb released
another 12? called Moving Head". For 2006 more Receptor vinyl
releases are coming in on a diversity of labels, for example
the Sushitech label from Israel (on which he will appear as
Autómata); Mule Musiq (Japan) and the recent EP for Winsome
Music, another german label. Not to forget about his releases
on the RealAudio and Comatronic netlabels!
His partner in crime for this release, Christian Dittmann, is
an active dj and regularly spins records across various
chilean clubs. He has had a first release on Pheek's excellent
Archipel label (archipel.cc) in autumn 2005 and surely will
have a string of new stuff out in 2006. Compared to Receptors
music, his stuff is much more an eccentric carpet of sequenced
sound snippets, framed in 4/4 patterns.
For this release, Alta Infidelidad team up to compress their
associative, trippy sound on and on, with continously compact
melody fragments over soundeffects. At times they let
soundeffects run against each other and have the sample elements
communicating with each other in a virtuose way.
While the tracks of Receptor are clean and sparse they appear
as almost static motions inside wooden, yet driving minimalist
patterns. By times his clinic scapes might awake reminiscences
to Sahkö and Raster Noton aethetics but, of course, they are
much more techno than that.
On the other side we have the antagonist tracks by Christian
Dittmann, which are full with minimal percussive spinneries in
a rich versatile mix that make you wonder how he manages to
develop a track out of the pumping seizing intro huddles. An
endless stream, apparently not vehemently aligned on purpose, slowly develops frequent dreaming undertones, that absorb
oneself within the strangest area, where tension won't reduce
to a lesser extent, no matter if the end is a wafted pad or
simply the most reduced grooves. Start and finish are hardly
recognizeable and the dancefloor barely is in sight, but
apparently the intoxicated drifting thereafter becomes visible.
The arrangements are fragile, volatile and less than ever appear
to obey linearity as a flux of jammed ideas, shortly shifted
soundexplosions and rhythmic displacements. The tracks pulsate
like in an endless flush aimlessly through the rooms in the
broadest sense. Worlds and intensities, at times they are
textures and again, haunting. The peculiar attention roams
above the tracks and gets stuck here and there, takes an
immersion bath and engrosses from the popping sounds. You
might think: Odd descriptions. But this is how these tracks
interact - A bipolar team play, an allegory similar as the
reach from north and south of the chilean country. Although it
feels dry and dusty by times, the soul within is deep and emotional.
