News Emptyset Got Next
Posted by Charles Mudede on Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 12:59 PM
This weekend was all about Emptyset:
Check out the track "Awake" on their Myspace account. That track is representative of the duo's (James Ginzburg and Paul Purgas) general approach to sound design—severe, minimal, and architectural. But in the middle of these dusty, digital, artificial, micro constructions, there sometimes appears a funky house beat. When the two meet (funky beat and micro/dubtech), warm, human feelings emanate from the most inhuman spaces imaginable.
Emptyset's list of influences:
Manuel Gottsching, DAF, Ryoji Ikeda, Robert Hood, Front 242, Mika Vainio, Liaison Dangereuse, Torsten Pröfrock, Studio One, Gary Clail, Soundhack, Vangelis, Napalm Death, Model 500, Dopplereffekt, Legowelt, Carl Craig, Sandwell District, Ash Ra Tempel, Maurizio, Vanqueur, Tangerine Dream, Anthony Shakir, BURIAL, Sun O))), Convextion, Unspecified Enemies, Chain Reaction, Clone, Deathprod, Mike Dunn, K Hand, Loscil, Errorsmith, Larry Heard, Move D, Red Planet, DJ Deeon, Mathew Jonson, Drexciya, 2562, Brian Eno, Portable, Kenny Larkin, Andy Blake, Gino Soccio, Monolake, Underground Resistance and Armando (RIP)That's music to my ears.
