This building was intended to fall. The dust in all 6 rooms suspends in the air and light glitters on each particulate, a piercing bright like a headache behind the eye. Knuckles chapped like a dancer's feet, a listener survives in the building like it's a home. Makes it a home. Frantic energy holding still remains frantic. Trying to swallow, trying to catch your breath. Enough dust to settle and make the building in its exact image. Beating at the walls only makes the walls once more, 6 rooms, listening and responding. This is the sound of a space that cannot be unmade. Sorcery is permanent.

Sorcery is the project of Montreal-born, Berlin-based Merlin Ettore. His sound blurs the lines between synthetic and organic sonic materials in a very singular way. Track after track, the involvement in composition deepens, leading from experimental outskirts to entirely calculated and nuanced works. A first in years, Bedouin Records brings these six fleshed out tracks of warped techno to listeners, bent-out-of-shape dancers, hard drive hoarders, and online forum pagans. Ready yourself for aggressive perfection and abrasive rhythm.
Sorcery cuts a unique presence in electronic music’s experimental underground. A passion for the interaction between acoustic and electronic instruments has lead to the creation of intricate, mind bending and challenging compositions. Whilst the intense, polyrhythmic power-play that underpins Sorcery’s live performances leaves a compelling mark, his compositions reveal a mastery of both the acoustic instruments and analogue equipment that define his sound. With a long-established artistic persona proving as polymorphic as his skillset, Ettore’s message cuts as striking and uncompromising, defined by a bold aesthetique-noire he can call his own. There's an unrelenting and visceral impulse to his work, defined by a life-long and far-reaching passion for the rhythmic qualities of music. It’s a compelling, abrasive alchemy, defined by a belief in pursuing the ‘Gesamtkunstwerk’. This is 'total' music production: composition, collaboration, performance and recording - of which Ettore is proven a master in all four disciplines.

What a wild approach to vocal sampling, DnB & broken beat experimentation. I'm not only impressed but a little concerned for my center of gravity. cherub420
