MALTE SCHUMANN — who under the LOOP LF alias has been a mainstay of UK bass/sound-system outlet WELL STREET, and who as CALDERA has delivered leftfield techno via NUMMER MUSIC and SPACE LAB — makes his comeback on KIMOCHI! Built from live recordings, this is experimental techno work that plays to his strengths: vivid, immersive sound imaging and knotty, intricate rhythm construction. Limited to 200 numbered copies.
Track List
CALDERA, the versatile craftsman who also works under the LOOP LF alias, returns to Chicago's ambient/sound-techno institution KIMOCHI! "RK01 (Live Mix)" (sample1) runs some nine minutes, layering multi-tiered, polyrhythmic patterns shot through with rhythmic clicks, while the equally lengthy "BT01 (Live Mix)" (sample2) unfolds with carefully restrained tempo and tone — both workflow pieces born out of live jams. Delicate rhythm-making and palpably real sound imaging. Comes in KIMOCHI's trademark hand-drawn sleeve with serial number. Limited pressing. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
