The successful creative disco-graphic synergy continues between Simona Faraone’s label, New Interplanetary Melodies (NIM), and the artistic collective Kuro Jam coordinated by Gianluca Pernafelli.
After creating the two V/A sound-tracks, Kimera Mendax EP (NIMKurojam 001) and Kimera Mendax Vol.2 (NimKurojam002), for this third release of Kuro Jam Recordings line, the team assigned to the Rome producer T/ERROR - already featured on the second volume of Kimera Mendax series with two tracks (KX2048 on vinyl and Rising Tide in the digital re-pack) - the music version of the new,eponymous comic strip. The DATA SURFER of the title is a special mixer: among its controllers, in addition to those for sounds, there is one that reads, mixes and recomposes space-time.
What would happen if it ended up in the hands of a suburban hoodlum angry at the world and intoxicated by electronic music? The answer lies in an irregular and corrosive graphic journey that the graphic novel unravels in 6 chapters, in a symbiotic dialogue with the 6 vinyl tracks. In five temporal dimensions curated by five talented artists.
In two cities - Rome and Berlin - criss-crossed by pain, youthful passions, torments, desire for redemption, delusions, desire for life. And by a single, unstoppable sound-narrative flow that will sweep through the protagonists’ lives and caress the readers’ hearts.
The “out-of-sync soundtrack” curated by T/ERROR opens with the Drexcian elegance of Rising Tide (A1), already published in the digital version of Kimera Mendax, and now available for the first time also on vinyl, to continue in the wake of the title track Data Surfer (A2) with its powerful electro-acid tones. Last Brute in the firmament (A3) closes side A of the disc: in this track the Roman artist catapults us into a dense and epic atmosphere, ideal both for the smokiest dancefloors and for space chases. Minimum length (B1) opens the second side with a dark, mechanical-sounding track that may remind the listener of certain industrial-themed library music, while Redundant Flux Storm (B2) sounds like a journey through tension-filled atmospheres, evoking futuristic cityscapes and machines in eternal motion.
The B-side closes with the syncopated, liquid electro of Endless Wave (B3). To add further depth to this release we also have 3 bonus tracks exclusive to the digital version; Shadows (1), From The Deep (2) and Space Time Coordinates (3), which further explore the boundaries of the most intransigent and refined electro/techno, combining spacey and complex sounds that transport us into a crossmedia continuum of sounds and images that leave their mark.
