Entropy

Description

The French machinist duo ATOEM is gaining momentum with "Entropy."
Between sound explorations, hypnotic guitars, and homemade modular synthesizers, Atoem delivers impeccable and organic techno, which does not rely solely on speed, but on harmony and textures. Having digested new-wave, ambient, rock, techno, Pink Floyd, and Brian Eno…, the duo constructs its tracks according to its own algorithm, a synthetic equation of sequences and musical patterns, of soaring refrains where the duo's haunting voices intertwine. Like Atoem, a deity of ancient Egypt that shaped the matter to which they refer, these two techno sculptors have managed to meticulously mold their own musical universe on a principle of non-separability, and a total mastery of randomness, their machines as extensions of their bodies. At the heart of a laboratory of guitars, analog synths, and modulars, the human machine Atoem comes to life in the mazes of its organic and epileptic performances. For its first album "Entropy," ATOEM takes risks and looks beyond the artistic horizon that has made its reputation, seeking accidents, counterpoints, everything that can help them bring forth the music they have in mind in all its richness. Entropy reminds us, at the dawn of the era of artificial intelligences, that it is indeed two human beings, made of flesh and feelings, who turn the knobs of these machines.
