Beachers

*50 copies limited edition. 2025 stock* In 1948, Claude Shannon published his theory of the entropy of information. At a time when the telecommunications system was analogue, this engineer from Bell Laboratories formalised mathematically that the quantity of information transmitted affected the quality of the signal. What remains was lost information, a leftover message trapped in the meanders of electrical installations. Listening to The Problem makes you think you found a cabinet of curiosities containing these lost transmissions. Beachers composes with these disparate elements, shaping conglomerates of wavelengths that gravitate in a clumsy waltz. An out-of-tune piano seeks its way through the soundscapes of our contemporary cities and the caustic resonances of the technologies that inhabit them.

The musical framework is magnetically constructed as a concentration of interferences that fade into sizzling echoes. For example, the two parts of The Rain is Dancing at Me can be heard as two sides of the same coin. In the first part, the artist uses field recordings of raindrops that crackle like an old vinyl, which is followed by rhythmic and electronic reading of a rainfall. Like a kind of anticipated afterglow, the recording of rain will disintegrate until it reaches the granular texture of noise.
