Silicon Frontier - Bit Folder (CPU)


Title: Silicon Frontier
Artist: Bit Folder
Label: CPU
Cat Number: 01010110
Genre: IDM, Experimental 

1: Youka
2: Silicon Frontier
3: The Tritan Cord
4: Legs Akimbo

This is synthetic mood music with funk and feeling. A dense smorgasbord of delicate, fragile delights all bound together by a dark matter of the senses. Sounds have meaning when they are given a proper framework within which to express themselves. Sure, they can be random, but it’s cohesion that elevates and articulates. The four works in question each fervently function in support, and independently of each other. ‘Youka’ is the most straight forward bit of dance floor tackle, built on a skeletal electronic framework, it is the distilled essence of IDM let off the leash. ‘Legs Akimbo’ is a more crowded cousin. Both Silicon Frontier’ and ‘The Tritan Cord’ are otherworldly mirror images of themselves, with the former’s reticent first light luminescence built upon by the latter’s fluctuating extravagance.
