Erik pulls off as lovely review @ Boomkat :)
A fine example of modern electronica, He Can Jog's Middlemarch is a boldly
diverse set of compositions, tackling dronescapes, digital glitch textures
and even vocal electronic pop to a consistently high standard. At He Can
Jog's creative epicentre is Erik Schoster, who combines the offline
conventions of electronic composition with real-time improvisation via
customised MAX patches. This combination of different disciplines results in
the raw bitstream ambience of 'Agnes (After Woodland Pattern)' or 'A Small
Thing' whilst also bringing forth the melodic, beat-driven sounds of 'Suite
Part Three'. There's an adventurously unpolished feel to all this that
suggests an abandonment of presets or software clichés, freeing up Schoster
to switch things around on wildly divergent consecutive tracks like
'Contractors And Architects', with its borderline Postal Service-isms and
'Suite Parts One And Two', which approaches Keith Fullerton Whitman levels
of sublime electroacoustic drone. Highly recommended.
