kaneel - i've sketched it a while ago (apegenine)

haven’t heard anything from this label for a while, since their 3rd release “rhythms for a rainy season” by david kristian. it seems that they are dealing with idm variations of sound. and they are proving that on i’ve sketched it a while ago by french musician guillaume richard. on his first release he is showing his great talent in producing complex electronic music. generally we can say that this release is mixture of early warp like drills and bass and new idm forms. but its not so easy to do this. his music is much more than that. lots of glitchy layers are intervowen with hectic beatwork making noisy mash up. suddenly some subtle melody will appear out of nowhere to confuse the listener and make subtle sinks into nostalgia. all seems like ecclectic, chaotic and unstable blend of dreamy and welcoming tenderness and distorted cut up rhythm beautifully colored into weird arrangements. maybe kaneels very own idea of producing this album is to make crossover between harsh noisy structures and explorations into pop melodies, in which he is successful.
