Arcane Device | "n28: ohmniscient" | Pulsewidth | 2020

Arcane Device es el proyecto emblemático e iniciático del artista sonoro y visual David Lee Myers que nace hace más de 35 años. Myers inventó su propia máquina de feedback, quien en sus composiciones utiliza electrónica modular, produciendo texturas de guitarra, diversidad de tonos y variantes polirrítmicas. 

Su discografía se ha publicado en Generator, ReR, Silent, RRRecords, Staalplaat y en su propio sello Pulsewidth. Myers ha colaborado con renombrados artistas como Asmus Tietchens, Tod Dockstader, Thomas Dimuzio y Vidna Obmana, entre otros músicos. 

Adentrarse en "n28: ohmniscient" es hacerlo en una madeja de notas sintetizadas repetitivas que forman parte de un loop que circula por ambientes orgánicos complejos, junto a un ensamblaje de piezas percutidas que golpean aleatoriamente. Sonidos sintetizados retorcidos se acompañan de algunas percusiones semi industriales, mientras capas de sonido granular se esparcen en diminutas partículas para luego manipularse y continuar su constante evolución. Myers de esta manera crea nuevos tonos verdaderamente únicos, confirmando que la experimentación que realiza propone nuevas avenidas sonoras, por lo que el oyente no deja de sorprenderse.

Arcane Device is the emblematic and the initial project created it more than 35 years ago by sound and visual artist David Lee Myers, who invented his own feedback machine. His set-up also includes modular electronics, guitar textures unfolding tonal diversity, and polyrhythmic variations in his compositions.

His discography has been published on Generator, ReR, Silent, RRRecords, Staalplaat and on his own Pulsewidth label. Myers has collaborated with renowned artists such as Asmus Tietchens, Tod Dockstader, Thomas Dimuzio, and Vidna Obmana, among other musicians.

To delve into "n28: ohmniscient" is to do it in a skein of repetitive synth notes that are part of a loop that circulates through complex organic environments, together with an assemblage of percussive pieces that hit randomly. Twisted synth sounds are accompanied by a semi-industrial percussion, as layers of granular sound are scattered into tiny particles to be manipulated and continue with its constant evolution. Myers in this way creates truly unique new tones, confirming that the experimentation he carries out proposes new sound avenues for which the listener never ceases to be surprised.
