about

Automatics Group / Summer Mix / AUTO2 (2011)

The information contained in an audio CD can be considered a waveform describing the movement of your loudspeakers’ cones over time. Using a mathematical process known as a discrete Fourier transform the same information can be dealt with as a collection of sine waves of different frequencies and phases. In this album the phase data is reset, discarding half the information in the music. What does the half removed represent? It is difficult to say exactly, but it is related to time and structural relationships. In most cases you would expect each event in the original audio to be smeared over the duration of the transformed track. However, when the process is applied to music that contains highly repetitive structures, certain aspects audibly survive the transformation process.

"The Automatics Group's dance-pop deconstruction, 'Summer Mix' is one of the uncanniest computer music releases of this decade - first issued as a limited CD edition by Entr'acte in 2011. In the time since then it’s quietly become a bit of an iconic reflection for a post-rave generation, presenting a non-trivial nostalgia trip that somehow sounds like a digitally diffused, skeletal take on Gas, Basic Channel or Ross 154." - Death of Rave / Boomkat
