Raffertie soundtracks the future...

Soundcloud



At the start of the 21st century it was often perceived that technology would become so advanced and integrated into every part of our lives that we would eventually come to live in a cold, sterile and dark future where the sound of the wind would be replaced by the hum of electronics. This image nearly became a reality until the change. The biological reclaimed the technological. Earth was renamed 'The Garden'. All living things adapted their electronic counterparts and became symbionts on the molecular level. They became one. Evolution took a radically different path and has been accelerated exponentially to the point where now no two generation are the same.

Humans no longer exist as we know ourselves today. We see the world through new eyes and the time of the separate identities - biology / technology - man / machine - is told like a fairy tale. There is a much greater understanding between all living things but the world is by no means a peaceful place, it merely exists in a balance which has never been seen before. There are still distinct groups of 'humans' that live separately from one another. Some choose to let their biological side define them; some choose to employ more of technological side. Some intentionally meddle with their own DNA and turn themselves into things which are indescribable. There is one other group that no one is quite sure whether or not they still exist. They are the remnants of the time just after the change and live in shadow. Nothing more than stories about them surface from time to time. So it is said that their eyes appear out of the dark and silence falls all around.

The complexity of The Garden must be seen to be believed. It is beautiful, dangerous, consuming and alive.

[peppermill]

thanks for letting me know... it's actually just some people that can't access it, and even then sometimes they can, some totally mystery dns thing that nobody can tell me why it happens all of a sudden recently. but i replaced the links with ones that always work.

damn speak of the devil. i was just wondering about raffertie and what he was up to today, i guess i got my answer. big ups

[peppermill]

well what he's really been up to is his new label Super, just 4 quick releases in but it's all good, especially the ep from Taylor...

bump!

[pikeymobile]

His new sound is pure amazing

[peppermill]

yeah, it's one of the most dramatic evolutions of style i've seen... from "wobble horror" and that heavy food for animals remix, to stuff like "into the garden" and Rank Functions. i liked to old stuff but i also approve of this new sound.

His new sound is pure amazing

agree'd. always had my eye on this guy, really great progression all these years

[polho]

Track is all over the place. I always had the feeling Raffertie was something different.

[peppermill]

one thing to keep in mind is that raffertie, like the others in this project, are trying to make music for the distant future... so in this case aren't trying to do something in their usual style. at least that's the idea.

also you guys can download the high quality track if you follow the link.

others that have taken part already include DNTEL, mochipet, krumble, pacheko, jason forrest, lots of others... the project is halfway done and there's a bit of a break while we get more illustrated but in the second half we'll see slugabed, kraddy, robot koch, widdler, elemental, dr. strangeloop, kanji kinetic, si begg i think, hmm who else, well there'll be 50 in total.
