Techno Unit 30 Audiochrome
InternationalAudiochrome Inc.
Approaching utter two-lane blacktop anonymity, Larry Kucharzs pure Techno
project paradoxically has ten times more personality than most CDs here.
To add insult to injury, two of its (best) tracks are remixes of a 1970s
piano work and a 1982 computer work. Its not hard to discern the ripples
of a flexible and reflexive intelligence behind the apparent Same of
Kucharzs audiochromatics: block grid artwork, track titles reduced to
progressive markers of the same Repeat(U301>309) Beat; a musical tenor
which echoes Blanchots phrase the interruption of the incessant. This is
the second column in a row where Ive had my Tekno prejudices flattened, and
Ill be re-searching Kucharzs full-spectrum back catalog pronto. in brief

"Unit 25: Dark Red" is a triumphant computer music achievement by Larry
Kucharz. He has created some minimalist funereal atmospheres that generate
introspection. Each composition is titled a shade of red preceded by "dark."
The funereal images are dark, almost satanic. They are frightening. This
is Halloween ambience.
