Press Info:
For the 10th instalment of the Monolith Deaf Souls series, ‘KrankerWeg’ marks the debut of ‘KODEBREAKER’, side project of Ken Karter, artist and militant audio engineer guru whose contribution was fundamental to shape and develop the sound of Monolith Records since the earliest stages, and Sirio Gry J, founder of the platform. The combination of Ken’s mathematical austerities with Sirio’s eclecticism, allows new ways to detonate in erratic collisions that characterise the practice and cadency of the code-breaking process. This EP is an ode to sickness intended as a non-compliant attitude to escape feeding the algorithmic optimization of social engineering practices. Krankerweg grinds faster than the speed of thought, hits even harder, and it is colder than liquid nitrogen. The four original cuts are sonic monstrosities that push to enlarge and enrich an imaginary brewed up from visions that aim to conceive and explore fresh sonic settings drown into the darkest synthetic dystopia. An essentially linear process that aims to deconstruct the code upon which hegemonies are established and maintained, degrading the difference as a lesser worthy ingredient of the whole compound. The importance of empowering variance as a prominent feature of resourcefulness is also evidenced by (epi)genetics theories and evolutionary mechanisms. Variability in perception, as much as in action, can be remarked even when external conditions such as sensory inputs or task goals are maintained as constant as possible, and it is an observable at the neuronal level too. Human perception accounts on molecules hitting certain receptors at random rates owing to diffusion, and such variance originates from the receptor proteins that are limited in their ability to accurately count the exact number of signalling molecules; the input energy gets converted into a chemical or mechanical signal, later to be amplified and converted into an electrical impulse, necessarily contaminated by pre-existing noise generated during the amplification process, along with the intrinsic noise of the external context. Within this process, any noise trace sets a perceptual threshold for later stages of the information processing operation, and the input signals that are weaker than the noise itself cannot be distinguished from it after amplification. This natural constant inequality in the data-processing unhinges ultimately the prospect of defining a unique, right-for-all way to follow, and suggests instead to embrace the differentiation as the only key to thrive in perspective of the infinity of the human mind.
