Many artists from the industrial and post-industrial scenes have addressed the topic of future shock, be it explicitly or implicitly;

for example SPK, as early as 1979-1980…In 2006, it is still a hot topic, more than ever in fact. With a will to sonically

explore the intricate and infinite mazes of information spun in the last few dozens years, and illustrate the tremendous

changes which have been occurring during that period and which affect us all, TELEPHERIQUE’s Klaus Jochim and

FLINT GLASS’ Gwenn Tremorin have joined forces for this collaborative album, which is indeed a concept album

about information overload, the speed at which technological changes occur and the negative effects of this

information overload on our psychological state. Both artists have sampled and gathered a great deal of sounds taken

from computers or conferences on the topic, in a totally digital way from the FLINT GLASS perspective, and in an

analogic/old-school fashion from the TELEPHERIQUE perspective. The idea was to confront the technological evolution

with itself in the composition process, in a chronological way, by imagining the evolution from 1980 or so, up until now.

 

You can then expect a pleasing and surprising ‘shock’ between FLINT GLASS’ trademark distorted idm-ish beats, intertwined with sinister and expansive atmospheres, and TELEPHERIQUE’s dirty soundscapes and machinesque old-school and sometimes or often lo-fi drifts for which they have been renowned since 1989. Let aural information flood you !
