si-cut.db* And Full Swing + / vs. Stephan Mathieu Und Douglas Benford – Reciprocess + / vs. 02 CD

Since its beginning BiP_HOp has expressed an interest in collaborative works, trying to go against the autistic side of contemporary electronic music. So, in association with Fällt, BiP_HOp are pleased to present the second volume of their series document collaborative works between sound-designers. For some time, Stephan Mathieu "has been trying to reduce his compositional approach to a minimum by accepting sounds the way they are." Alike his contemporaries Cray, Pimmon, Taylor Deupree, or Komet he has managed to create his own and particular sound. Si-cut.db composes groovy minimal Dub. Douglas Benford has been releasing music under this alias for years, he is also the second player in Tennis, and founder of Sprawl. Si-cut.db is now on two compilations from the german label BackGround, and the brand new Warpmart sampler.

"Microsounds, in which every single and minute tone has found it's place, which nevertheless sound warm and human. Or, even more true, electronic sounds with a gargantuan dynamic that help hyperspeeded cyberfreaks to come down and drift in an ocean of sound. What a beautiful thought. CRACKED / Austria melancholic, warm atmosphere and sometimes reminds me of works by Pole, Rhythm and Sound (and other Basic Channel related stuff), and the laptop compositions of Fennesz, Oval or Pimmon." --FUNPROX / Holland
