about

Digipak CD issued by No Rent Records. Feedback, eurorack electronics, tapes, guitar, processing, reprocessing. From the Pulsewidth Studio 2021.

David Lee Myers’ debut for indie Philly label No Rent eschews the circuit-bent bleepery of his 2020/21 Pulsewidth communiqués for some post-industrial anti-ambient cinematography for the ear. Four tracks exceeding fifteen minutes in length allow plenty of room for Myers to work out a seemingly endless array of ideas, realized from his usual tapestry of sculpted feedback, Eurorack electronics, tapes, guitars, processing, and, as is his wont, reprocessing. All cheekiness aside, for anyone with even the slightest interest in contemporary electronic music and how longtime sonic alchemists like Myers achieve their flights of metaphysical fancy, the music of Arcane Device and its creator is required listening. Sounds wholly new, wholly unrecognized, dappling the stereofield in all sizes, shapes, colors, and configurations, make for audiological canvases the ear remains nearly too primitive to grasp. But we work with what we have, so allow your imagination free reign to derive endlessly rejuvenating pleasure from these fascinating works. With their nondescript track titles, Myers’ suggests you consider these pieces as abstract but metaphorically magnetic electronic tone studies, much like masters Dockstader, Xenakis, Mimaroglu, Schulze, et al.... The originality of sounds on display here never ceases to amaze, which, after all, is what the best electronic music seeks to attain. Kinda takes your breath away. - Darren Bergstein, DMG
