Holzkopf’s
“Trespassing” becomes electronic at its core, almost 8bit on some levels, but
it still manages to take you for a ride throughout the time you listen to it,
as tracks included are remixed and live improvisations.
There
is this dark sort of electro drone first off, which gives way to beats and
eventually just turns into loops that I will continue to compare with Prodigy
for lack of another reference point.
This, in and of itself, makes for a sound- a genre- all its own, yet it
continues to expand as vast as the universe as the songs go on.
Computer
sounds come in, and it puzzles me because we don’t hear them used this way
often. They are what that Gameboy sound
is to 8bit, only with more of computer noises which could be seapunk but it
really isn’t so I have no clue as to what to call it, but that’s what it’s the
birth of anyway.
Some
pretty crazy percussion mixed with chaotic noise rounds out the genre-defying
sounds on this cassette. I’ve always
felt like seapunk has held a place in my heart because of my computer hacker
tendencies, and while this isn’t seapunk in the strict sense it does evoke
similar feelings.
