Restless new music chameleon Kyle Bruckmann (best known as an improvising oboist mining the intersection of free jazz, noise rock and contemporary classical) offers his first fully electronic solo release. Sourced primarily from vintage analog synthesis, this double-album diptych anachronistically evokes, from a sardonic post-techno vantage point, both late 60s and late 70s experimentation. Attempted minimalisms chafe at their own restraints, bursting at the seams to comprise “a suite of weighted blankets for an intracranial dancefloor.” By turns hypnotic, immersive and bludgeoning, Mesmerics/Hindsight charts an unlikely Venn diagram linking the Day-Glo legacy of the San Francisco Tape Music Center with proto-Industrial’s bleak, gray throb.”Mesmerics/Hindsight (2020-21 Hermetic Electronic)Hindsight I: EpigraphHindsight II: Occam’s BlunderbussHindsight III: October 2020 (Fallen Leaf Lake)Hindsight IV: A Perforated Kakemono for Henri MichauxBlindsideUsed to DanceMind BlightMesmeric (sedimentary)Large GatheringsMesmeric (metamorphic)Use for DanceFight FlightMesmeric (igneous)Keinzeit”
