Innercity
In Fetal Aura

Upstairs 005

CD-R
£8.99


Limited edition of 200 copies, on Daniel Lopatin/Oneohtrix Point Never’s label. Innercity is Hans Dens, a member of the Dreamtime Tapes Sounds community alongside Lieven Martens/Dolphins Into The Future et al. His sound is based around degraded loops and minimal keyboard sighs, generating oceans of sound that are dense with weird, sub-aquatic life-forms. The main thrust of In Fetal Aura is a recreation of pre-birth states and womblike stasis using repetition, sublimation and disarticulated sound and there’s a grainy complexity to his compositions that is close to William Basinski. “Innercity is the brainchild of Belgium's Hans Dens, a wiz from the Dreamtime think tank who has been prodigiously translating his vision journeys to DAT since 2008... anyone familiar with 666 MINUTES AT BOTTOMS OF BLACK LAKES will understand IN FETAL AURA as a natural outgrowth of his process, refined via the destruction and adaptation of loop based bedroom concrete, kraut and new age towards an auditory dreamsystem language all his own. He's also the barron of nu school Bontempi BT series jammage; the Italian stepchildren of the Casio MT series, imbued with aliased, bit damaged refuse from a time when things were simpler. IN FETAL AURA is a trip; a moving picture of animate life in pre-semiotic states of development. Within that trip Innercity reflects biological diversity in spirit form, beautifully shifting from one amorpha to to the next via repetition and mutation, like spirits basking in the coptic glow of life before consciousness. Don't fear the path to amnesia; an infinite patch wipe.. the incomplete return.” – DL
