FFI Digital is a side project from the man behind Inner Demons, Dan Fox. At some point, he started the project as a completely different approach to the projects he had as an “everything in the box”, all digital, only the sounds leave the computer, the rest … All zeroes and ones. So it’s hard for me to tell you what I’m hearing or how it’s created. It can range from plugins in a DAW to MaxMSP patches to super collider to basically any software generating sounds or adapting them in any form. It’s all in the master’s mind; for us, it’s the journey he gives us.
This double 3″ brings us 40 minutes of noise: the 10-minute ones and a 20-minute one with all titles related to project numbers or dates. ‘180119G’ contains some harsh, high-pitched frequency terror close to what an HNS can be. Intrusive and obnoxious, precisely what it should be. Hypnotizing and leaving you in a weird trance-like state. ‘180119H’ is an experiment with crunchy rhythmic structures. Compared to the previous track, there’s nothing extreme; it’s more like some laidback noise, nothing too complex. Slowly generating and manipulating – or playing with – accents in the rhythm. And “180119ACEGRMXB’ on the second disc is loud. It’s the same structure as the first track but has added feedback loops in the used mixers. So, the manipulated noise goes back and forth into the mix through the compression techniques, and the result is super dynamic.
If this sounds like you could like it, head over to the IDR band camp because this project already has ten releases waiting for you! I played Pokemon, and I caught them all 😉
