LFA - (2015) MG Inzpirator CS

Reduce. Reduce. Reduce. It makes for a very tactile process for LFA, or Liable, the nom de guerres that Hagen K. Reins alternates between. Liable's cryptic electronics lend themselves to an engorged excess of noise and dusted obliteration; but that's not the case for MG Inzpirator through an interesting reductionism that applies to what otherwise would have become the harsh, brutal electronics akin to those by Wolf Eyes. These sequences appear scrubbed of the bulk of the sonic grit, leaving the roughly sequenced passages of drum machine and minimally programmed electronics with a crust, a film, a scab of what had previously been layered on top. This self-eradication process seems to go through multiple iterations - the xerox of a xerox, the telescoping murk of a eighth generation tape dub, the nubbly bits of gum erased all blackened with graphite from that crappy high school drawing that was wisely scrubbed. What we're getting at is that all of the weird bits of gristle and stain that hang from Liable's electronics don't seem like an effect, but the result of some subtractive process. What that may be is hard to say, and that mystery make everything all the more intriguing. Further that with septic minimalism, dumpster scraped noise, asynchronous sequencing. Deaf. Dumb. Blind.
