Formen - Intermodulation
2023 | ES-011 | Edition of 19
Intermodulation explores the interaction of electronic sound sources under unstable conditions. The tracks are built from rhythmic structures and evolving textures, situated between reduced club forms and electronic sound practice. Coherence emerges through material behavior rather than genre affiliation.
All tracks were produced using hardware instruments only, some modified for individual compositions. Malfunctions and instabilities are treated as structural elements. Musical forms are approached and partially displaced through saturation, spatial modulation, and timbral variation. The focus lies on sonic behavior rather than stylistic reference.
The dubplate covers were created by Arthoss Iliph. The works consist of silver gelatin photographic paper exposed to heat and acid, producing abstract color fields and organic patterns. Nineteen distinct works were produced for the physical edition. The digital release features a modified scan of one of these pieces.
