Sticks For Bits

Underscan

Another music revolution is being ushered in by producers like 20-year-old London resident Simon Petre (Onethma) who've grown up using downloaded music software (shareware). Creating radical electronic sounds outside the confines of traditional sequencing programs, manuals or interfaces, Petre incorporates processing mistakes in his neo-classical, minimalist, splattering ambient sound explosions. Thorny listening for sure, but revolution is never comfortable.
