Soup Mask (Check out audio samples in the Beatport player to the right) "...Flow is central to [the] music, as is a focus on spontaneous digital music creation. Improvisation and instant gratification seem to be the key elements to this album, but that isn’t to say that this was a magical accident. With diverse influences and sounds, from experimental noises and hip-hop to electro, techno and jazz, [St. Helens] has created two tracks that show an incredible amount of preparation in terms of collecting and editing sound sources. “Soupmask” is the more dance-friendly of the songs, but both tracks also work as electronic listening music. [St. Helens] have managed to cram a lifetime of musical influences and experiences into this 38-minute epic and it shows. The cover art, a mix of computer designed and hand done printing, puts a personal touch on a genre of music that can often seem distant and corporate despite its independent, artist-run nature." Marinko Jareb, Exclaim! June 2007 St. Helens is Rob Warren and Tomas Jirku. Check out our artists pages for further information. |
