_______________________________________
Joseph Fitzpatrick, the man behind Phluidbox, comes from Tennessee, US, but
his work has not much to do with the sounds we usually expect from that
part of the planet. This ep, astonishingly mature for a first complete
work (his discography until this moment was appearances in compilations
like Fat Cat No Watches No Maps and Integral Components on Component
Records), is a big surprise full of rhythm and noisy but balanced melodies.
Architectural and organic sounds and beats, combined with a powerful taste
for melodies, charming details with an optimistic, openminded fresh air.
Crunchy sounds, invisible sequences, showing a precise state of mind, or
habits, in which one can reflect, or at least, partly recognize oneself.
From Phluidboxs beginning in 98, when he was apparently attending classes
at college, to the conclussion of these found habits: doubtless a work
where you can see the interest of his author for the deep emotions in each
final track, more than the obsession for the newest software.
A very clear proposal, full of ideas about what means today to make music
and what is contemporary electronics. Definetely for emotional audiences.

Phluidbox These Found Habits ep (spa.rk)
Ah...the delights of the bleep. Almost nobody, since long time has brought
to the point what lies between the Bleep than Phluidbox on the first track
of his 5 track EP. Short, to the point, on its way to the sky and happy
with the smooth basses, spraid melodies and supported beats. Long lives the
sinus-wave and its kids. Similar funky but quiet but with a lot of calmness
inbetween electric sounds, fantastic mood, and playful euphoric technic
continues on the tracks in a suggestive path going through charmingly
elegiac and twinkling polyphonies, and open to new worlds that pound with
joy. Perfect.
