Reckno is extremely proud to present Imminent Orphan, a highly personal collection of music by AyGeeTee and his second release for the label following Eternity's Conceit earlier in the year. The same spirit of endless mutation and forward moving propulsion pushes these eight tracks ever forward and skyward. The real instruments (sad pianos and shimmering drum machines) collide with computer mutation, improvisation and freedom, loads of freedom.

A sense that anything can happen is always present in AyGeeTee's tracks. They seem to evolve naturally as if sound is constantly being created and tweaked and someone has jacked into an open channel and made a sound grab of a particular moment in time. The rule book has been shredded, set on fire and sprinkled over this music coating it in a welcoming faraway haze.

Some words from AyGeeTee:

This is the work I made during the short period of time between my Father being diagnosed with terminal cancer and his eventual death, six weeks in all. Not really very long but clearly a pretty intense time. I didn't set out to make an album, but I thought that somehow it all seemed slightly different from the work I'd been making before and that it reflected the way I was feeling at the time, I suppose I was using the process as an outlet. My Mother died six years ago, hence the 'orphan' thing.

Despite it all there was a lot to be thankful for in that time and when confronted so closely with death - life and work and love and living become a much stronger force. There was a lot of positive energy that went into making it and if anyone wants to dance, jump up and down or whatever positive reaction you just might feel, please go ahead because I certainly don't want anyone to have a bad time listening to this tape. I realised that this music only existed because of the feelings I was going through and that perhaps others listening to it might find that interesting too.

If you're looking for a friendly way into the Opal Tapes catalogue I'm afraid there isn't one. However, this is a great (and very decently priced) introduction to the distinct sound this label has made its own with some fantastic slices of techno. AJ.
