Entanglements In The Orthopedic Sensorium
Having previously aired his material on labels like ~scape, Kranky and Staubgold, Andrew Pekler brings his tapestried electronic productions to Giuseppe Ielasi's Schoolmap imprint.
Entanglements In The Orthopedic Sensorium began as a knitting together of unused odds and ends scattered across Pekler's hard drives, combining sketched recordings, unfinished ideas, previously unreleased material and soundtracks for theatre and dance. Despite the odds-and-ends background somewhere down the line this four-track album became something absorbingly well-executed. One of the first things to strike you about the record is how much it sounds as if it's been excavated from some library archive; in fact, within the breadth of a single composition Pekler juggles retro soundtrack-like fodder, early-electronics styled synthesis and tape cutting techniques.
Moreover, there's a sense of dreamlike disrupted narrative that's perhaps not too distant a cousin from Broadcast & The Focus Group's Witch Cults Of The Radio Age album, almost inevitably bringing to mind all those buzzwords like 'hypnogogic' and 'hauntological', yet not without good cause.
