Well, maybe that'll answer your question:
Devine, Richard - Lipswitch [SCH015CD:f] Schematic $10.75
The long awaited Richard Devine release on Schematic (licensed to Warp for
Europe)! A 38-minute mini-album. "This is Lipswitch , directed by Richard
Devine. Once a daring skater kid from Atlanta, now a computer science
student/pioneer-to-be, Devine found electronic music and has reinvented it
in his own way. In the latter part of his 25 years, he learned to build,
manipulate, and master the machines of modern music. In the process, he
has refined himself with the affiliation of some of today's more respected
musical establishments. This year he worked with director Kyle Cooper on a
Disney film project, remixed Aphex Twin, Matthew Herbert, Slicker, and
Phoenecia to only name a few. He masterfully orchestrates a titanic array
of rapidly moving information, cleverly channeling it into an organized
stream of sound. There are seemingly endless layers of rhythms, spanning
every notch of frequency, spiraling around one another like complex DNA
strands hinged together in a grid-like lattice. Never competing, never
repeating the same phrase. The result is amazement, awe. The human mind
can only process so much information at one time. Devine knows this well,
it is one of his sonic weapons. It is a lot like optic art, when the eyes
are fed too much data and the overload produces a prismatic, entrancing
effect. 'Entrancing' is not the word you would think to apply towards
music whose elements rarely repeat themselves, but the groove is there,
like a strange, mechanical funk music, and everything else revolves around
it. Like a million minuscule sounds, obediently marching to the cadence
of a heavy step. The music is in the beat itself. It is "funk for robots",
a broken and restructured music. Mathematically reconstructed with
futuristic tools, conceived by a highly evolved mind. For this, Richard
Devine has become something of a hero to the overqualified working
underclass, because he shows us a glimpse of a world where those with
technological skills rule."
