Searching - james devane
James Devane returns with another adept investigation into minimal techno’s spaces in between. “Searching” serves as both companion to “Beauty is Useless” and the next logical step in James’ exploration of process as guiding compositional tool. Conceptually simple, technically robust, the end result elicits both an undeniable groove and a trove of detail for listeners willing to go deep. In his own words: “These recordings are the result of chance. Using hours of source material, everything was “chosen”, manipulated, and assembled at random via custom software without concern for key, tempo, measures, or rhythm. A search button and a save button.”

Reviews
“Something really appealing about the soft, chill techno components rubbing up against each other with a touch of friction and strangeness. Washy sounds suddenly lurch or come to a cold stop, when the more typical move would be for things to slowly evolve and fade…”
Michael Upton (Jet Jaguar)
