Les-1 by Microhm
Microhm LES-1
cat# DU-49 / DU-MX1
Microhm presents a conceptual EP on narratives of technological obsolescence inspired by the story of Les-1, a failed American satellite, which contained in its circuits the promise of technologies that revolutionized telecommunications. The EP is a fictional narrative about the few days of operation of the satellite and its imminent collapse. An exercise in sound design that integrates tools programmed in Max/msp with contemporary digital and analog instruments. A journey into the past using sounds of classic futurism, exploring styles of noie, glitch, jazz, in the experimental electronica domain.
