Andrea Taeggi 'Qubit' from Zimní Král SM LL

"Quibit" Videoclip
The music on this record was made using a vast array of rare analog machines I had the chance to work on at the Willem-Twee synthesis studio in Holland (built using the Studio di Fonologia RAI as a reference) between February and April 2016. Most of the percussive sounds come from a Hitachi Analog Computer, which has been rarely used only as a music making tool (its main purpose was flight simulation).
The rest of the sounds come from or were processed by several Hewlett Packard Bell modules, whose original purpose wasn't music production either: during the Cold War times they were used as measuring equipment by civil engineers and even by the army.
To my knowledge, very few artists have given a new context to the such devices, which I have found absolutely unique-sounding and gave me enough inspiration to compose a whole album focused on them.
At present, no one has ever officially released music recorded at the Willem-Twee synthesis studio.
The music on this record further explores cyclical, minimal and hypnotic alchemical concoctions – a particular investigation focused on unusual rhythms that Andrea already started on his ‘Mama Matrix Most Mysterious’ album released on Type. Think walls of subfrequencies, snappy rollercoasters of the mind, labyrinths in hyperspace & snakes eating their own tails
Zimní Král means “Winter King” in Czech, the epithet given to Frederick V Elector Palatine (king of Bohemia), the last of a legacy to actively promote Alchemy during his reign as a means of studying reality, the self and their inter-reflections.
Composed, recorded and mixed by Andrea Taeggi
Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M Berlin.
Released via sm-ll
