*Aelters spends a lot of time on the production of microscopically small cut-ups. Technical errors are not eradicated, but integrated into his music. There is no such thing as a mistake. When the software is stuck, when machines hum and click - this is when making music starts. The computer has a mind of its own, and Aelters is happy to let it have its way. Plunderphonics, the joyful, media-critical poaching of the musical rubbish by which we are surrounded, is key to Aelters's work principles. His mixture of scraps of breakcore, scattered hard beats, spoken word collages, clicks, nursery rhymes and scenes of violence from action-packed movies are created "with enough weirdness and clicks to keep both the dancers and the laptop nerds happy." Aural snapshots (a family murmuring over supper, neighbors' sex-noises, those somehow ironic beats) "fall into the right places." His music knows no plan, but "just mutates along." Some of the compositions on Ardchilds'com.undo are about three years old and have been reworked for this album multiple times; they have been re-re-re-arranged, until barely anything is left in common with the source material. This manic restlessness makes Aelters a typical Sonig artist. Aelters grew up with heavy metal, '90s pop hits, the traditional Spanish music of his mother, and his friends in Dat Politics. A cut-up classic essential to Plunder-philes and glitch-worshippers Logically appeals to the Tigerbeat6 fanbase 30-second MP3 excerpts: Goozarintox K.Nopshoot IDM'Worldnite Je T'aime Diskrotik Diskrotik Part II Les Couettes Soap Starapeakotop Hombrero-Kinsect Ginko 3 Yr's Heli Sanki Panki & 1 Porkfesonki Last-All-One N/A 1 N/A 2 If you have a recent version of iTunes software on your computer, clicking on the iTunes button immediately below should open the iTunes application and take you to the iTunes Music Service page-- where you can listen to samples and buy this album, or individual tracks: If you have a subscription account at emusic.com, you can download tracks for purchase here.

***Aelters, Frenchman and former member of Dat Politics, has described his take on the creative process as "gentle mutation." Though his approach to making music has remained consistent over the years, Aelters has definitely evolved where style is concerned. On *Mixitch Mjeuga Djisc,* the rattling, high-speed breaks of previous releases give way to hardcore disco-tech. The beats have become slower, distorted and heavier. Samples from an astounding range of sources still dominate-- spoken voices, beatboxes, Gameboys, old synths-- but his software now seems beyond human control, operating under the spell of some manic groove generator. The resulting tracks, much like the French themselves, are dense, concrete, often fun and always unpredictable. Many of the sounds obviously stem from the direct neighborhood of the Frenchman. Strangely charged personal moments, fragments of conversation and children's voices blend and shuffle in the dust-up of whirling distortion and flickering soundbites. Familiar forms emerge out of apparent cacophony, are immediately subjected to ironic groove makeovers, and seconds later fired back into the sound storm. Bits of rhythm blast out of techno's past and immediately splinter off into whirring sound loops. Miraculously, the beat perseveres throughout, twisted but intact, and one is simply left with the question, "Who knows on which foot to dance to Aelters' music?" 30-second MP3 excerpts: Pal-Xmas Cheap Gift Hempluschoul Soaplinerds Lucky Complist Sinchronisiac Mix Switch This Usb Gosch Ohm L'anachorette First M"chant Jet Cash-Op Transit If you have a recent version of iTunes software on your computer, clicking on the link immediately below should open the iTunes application and take you to that album's iTunes page-- where you can listen to samples and buy this album, or individual tracks: go to iTunes to browse downloads for Aelters "Mixitech Mjeuga Djisc" (Sonig) If you have a subscription account at emusic.com, you can download tracks for purchase here.

TIGERBEAT 6

Artist:	AELTERS	Title:	Volube It
Format:	3" CD	Catalog Number:	MEOW028CD
Price:	$4.00	Label:	Tigerbeat 6
Release Date:	5/6/02
***French countryman lost in a northern city called Lille AELTERS steps out of legendary lo-fi laptop quartet DAT POLITICS (A-muzik ,fatcat, skipp, digital narcis , chicks on speed rec) to release this Solid solo EP of charming melodic laptop antics , the long awaited follow up to his sold out debut cd "el frustrator" on dat politics own ski-pp label, and the precursor to new aelters material He is working on for mouse on mars Soniq label. Instead of hanging the usual mobile of warm, pulsing tones above our heads, Aelters cuts in the cries of colicky babies and overwrought divas, the roar of runaway motorbikes and uncontrollable applause, for songs that strike the harpsichord of memories in our minds as the sounds of the adult world intrude upon the garden of electronic delights. Much a part of the worldwide Anti-scene of artists like mouse on mars, fx randomiz, felix kubin, chicks on speed, Goodiepal, scratch pet land,blectum from blechdom,mego, wobbly, kid606, fennesz and aphex twin yet still completely off in his own cheerily twisted sound world, "volube it" is a twenty one minute masterwork that takes the pop porn fans grew up munching and spins it into warmly cinematic songs ethat are sugarshit sharp and in the artists own words Is "dedicated ( for the most part ) to the dancing twisted bodies".
