BIT-TUNER — ARABIAN NIGHTS — OUS015 — Live Album

Release: September 7, 2018 Format: Cassette +digital Buy on Bandcamp.

Flexuous, Synchronous, Capricious

Bit-Tuner’s «Arabian Nights» is based on tapes, field recordings and sounds produced in Cairo. The gleaming heat of Egypt was processed into a grinding 40-minute live set, contrasting the layered textures with Bit-Tuner’s signature staccato beats. Swirling sounds fall into place as the recording evolves. As blasts of wind carry away the dust, sights of a dense and vibrant metropolis are set free.

After his previous works «The Japan Syndrome», «The China Syndrome» and «Athina Tape», Bit-Tuner’s new recording «Arabian Nights» takes an edgy approach: He extracts grainy physicalness from his sounds and brews them in his high-energy arrangements. It is this directness that marks Bit-Tuner’s distinctive qualities as a live act. He manages to tell stories through waves of sonic pressure.
