Comment:
Autism is the Lithuanian artist's fourth outing on Electron Emitter. Autism
as a condition (though it is disputable) is considered on a wide
spectrum. By its nature it is related to enormous potential and on
the other hand it is related to tremendous disability. However, on
one peripheral side of the condition is a state called savant. It
pertains to human beings who can lead their lives normally yet
excelling at languages, and applied sciences with pure mind and also
enormous premiss and will to work off. The only shortage related to
them is their low capability to be empathetic. In a word, the
emotions are something they are not able to understand. Although
human beings by the aforementioned characteristics they seem to be
quite similar to the definition "robot" in a way. Our
society is highly specialised and it will be even more and more. It
needs more and more people who are autistic to excelling at doing one
operation/action/thing. We do not need the so-called humanists anymore, we need less feelings, at the lowest
degree actually; we need more processors, more microscopic chips,
more artificial extremities to result in elegantly shaking sleek
machines while being productive at the highest degree. The influence
of The Smiths`s lyrics will be succumbed. I am not Human and I do not need to be loved (anymore). No, it is not a hate speech, it is
the sober calculation. Number Eleven's 11-track outing is robotic in
its monotonous routine based on spacious offbeat rhythmic structures
and at the same time having the state of mind of getting signals from
outer space. One can hear hirsute cadences and elemental electro
progressions and noisy sonic chips and eerie shadows and halcyon
synthesised upper layers which used to result in an ominous
atmosphere. At times some layers are clearly accelerated with regard
to the pace of others, at times they are decelerated, at times they
produce a sense as if being subjugated to an incisive abrasion. Could
it be considered the enhanced disorder as one of the titles suggests?
It correlates very well with getting signals from an abyss of outer
space. The signals are falling over one's head. Does it mean
something good for the human kind or not? Does it mean something
altogether? In fact, the story is old and it can be considered a
notch from the sequel of Autechre created cerebral techno tradition.
However, Number Eleven's approach is to add more neoclassical and
post-industrial frequencies to the melting pot in comparison to the
legendary Manchester duo. Top notch by any means. Your life is here
to be... .
