M. Koutsomichalis ‘Malfunctions’ (03)

Obscured or unwanted sounds one usually does not pay attention to, or even tries to eliminate as annoying are the focus of this album. Koutsomichalis tries to interfere with various systems and trigger mechanisms that were not meant to be, in order to cause all sorts of malfunctions and explore arbitrary ways of interaction between them. Those parasitic sounds reveal a system’s unpredictable and totally ambiguous side-being, that may be, normally, considered undesired but is definitely present and not less genuine.
