11 116 by poborsk

Originally released on Crazy Language's Bandcamp in 2019.

Here is what they said about the release : "Poborsk makes his Crazy-Language debut with a very special sensory release for us the listeners and to the producer himself. These seven crisp constantly shifting artefacts are the result of a multitude of live tracks, reworked here for cozy home listening, from when the producer opened a gig in Lyon for the legendary Autechre. The giddy excitement is palpable on the craftsmanship present on each song, not only recollecting the Manchester based duo’s latest atonal journeys but with the rhythmic balance and jiggly synth work, trademark of Poborsk’s varied discography. It’s hard not to get up and start contorting your body onto odd angles with bangers such as Docteur Flanger or Collapse.

As is tradition with Crazy-Language’s latest outputs, this release contains 3 very methodical video pieces that seem to clash perfectly with the pristine nature of the audio journey. These glitched, heavily erratic pieces are the contrast needed to bring everything full circle. Or in Poborsk’s case full Euclidean. (FG)"

Igllo Magazine review :
An acrobatic electronic sound space is inhabited by the hands of veteran Poborsk (aka Patrice Curtillat), and 11 116 is an extended player meant to transmit further alien frequencies (ref. “Frustration Rampante” with its subterranean bass and sizzling noises)—and also acts as a debut for the Crazy Language net-label. By way of analog sound effects, broken rhythms, and smoldering DSP, here we are provided with seven exploratory tracks—all over 5-minutes a piece. Distracting as they are compelling, these audible slices bend, twist, and echo as if absorbed through a variety of old machinery, only to be reconstructed in a digitized disarray. “Octa Jazz” maneuvers about like a lost Autechre NTS Session abstract—its microscopic bits and pieces diced between rugged low-end beatwork. There are additional rhythmic jolts and sonic whiplash featured on the energetic “Docteur Flanger,” and undulating ambient thuds on “Collapse” with its pseudo-improvised structures. An electroacoustic charm is evidenced on “Haïku” as it offers delicately placed melodic data-streams via a percussive backbone going into overdrive in the most minimalistic way. An exceptional and surreal EP of glitch and fractured bass for the next IDM plateau.
