Distorted/filtered and syncopated heavily; great tracks for mixing, but hard to locate the 4/4 within sometimes. He is definitively standing a certain ground there... I've heard the OST (Rook vallade?) tracks that are supposed to be for a Worm Interface full-length: a pretty incredible meal for fans of Freeform plus digital noise-rhythm stuff like Farmer's Manual "FM", etc > the person i bought it from said he felt they were going to be the next > "little schematic thing" (sic) anyone know who is behind this, and if they > venture has any future under the protective wing of the idm-list tastemakers?
