Christian Galarreta - Computer Music Is Dead (2011)
/Noise, Drone, Experimental electronica, Avant-electronica, Drone noise, Microtonal, Sound-art, Electro-acoustic/
Comment: this is a 2-track album by a Peruvian laptop musician who provokes and reconstructs the very core of electronic (computer) music. Or at least our imagination of it. Incessantly buzzing drones, static yet tense electricity and a shitloads of phase changes, drilling noiseful ghosts are represented here as if gigantic butterflies striking with their wings above the maelstrom of bits and bites. In fact, it almost rings out like an instance of noise symphony chalking out a picture of the cemetery of dead computers. Of computers within the sound is ceased to chime.
