Rupert Marnie's debut album Evocative Rhythm Experience is a singular object to begin with. Split over two parts, each one working as an individual piece and under seemingly endless configurations when played together on a pair of record players, "Evocative Rhythm" is an elusive piece of musical abstraction you will play a crucial role in shaping, fashioning it as you dabble with it -- certainly curious and cautious at first, then manipulating its raw clay more firmly as you envision it with a clearer idea of where to go with it. Or is that just a mirage? Fruit of geographical meanderings through Hamburg's tentacular architecture, Rupert Marnie's maiden full-length effort reflects that of the city's tonal, rhythmic and harmonic structures in a uniquely vibrant way: dance-y and not, ethereal and full-bodied, oneiric and anchored. From field recordings garnered here and there across town, then either truncated, morphed, stretched out beyond recognition via a wide palette of technical means (granular synthesis, time-stretching, use of resonators, delay, reverb, pitch-shifting...), Marnie weaves a narrative that bridges the gap continually betwixt non-formulaic beatless meditation and proper club-focused functionality, plus the countless possible creations that will emerge when combining both sides of the disc to form your own story out the battery of elements at reach. Evocative Rhythm Experience is much more than the sum of its parts. A mirage of ambient, techno, electro, whatever style and labels that could be stuck all over it, yet never managing to say a true word of it.
