snd: stdio (mille plateaux [mp092]).
(quoted from www.mille-plateaux.com)
________________________________________________________________________
One of 99's electronic top acts is back with the second album. It was
recorded in Sheffield during spring 2000 and edited during July. The second
work of MAT STEEL and MARK FELL for MILLE PLATEAUX develops the aesthetic
and conceptual anatomy of the first project. 'Makesnd cassette' was a prior
example of interface design in music and was voted on Ars Electronica as one
of the albums of the year. SND focuses on virtuality, machinism and
digitality by giving an introduction into the minimalism of th 21th century,
a tool for the next millenium. The new work is both more traditional and at
the same time more abstract than the first, aiming to reach further in each
direction than before. In doing so it highlights features from both the
early US techno scene and contemporary digital musics. Here, each tradition
is used as a template, through which snd trace lines of mutual opposition.
In reducing musical components to a minimum, snd aim to address that which
exists in the margin between the listenable and the unlistenable. In this
respect, their music articulates a dislike of the artistic environment they
have inherited and resists the inward pull of the genre within which they
are often placed.
