Theorem - THX - Experiments In Synchronicity

my4a, Feb 01, 2004

Theorem vs. Sutekh, Stewart Walker & Swayzak. "Experiments in Synchronicity compiles Theorems THX series of net-based collaborations with like-minded producers of the minimal tech-house massive. Originally released as a collection of 12-inch singles during 2000-2001, the THX project was an experiment borne of technology. With the use of phone Lines, CDRs and FTP uploads, Detroits Theorem (a.k.a. Dale Lawrence) provided source materials and Swayzak, Stewart Walker and Sutekh tweaked, layered, arranged and produced the end result. In the case of Swayzak and Walker, new ideas were bounced back to Detroit where Lawrence took over production duties, culminating in even more tracks. While trading (c)licks back-and-forth, Theorem and friends grafted new technotic hybrids rather than simply remixing each others work. The end result is a fantastic display of risk and restraint. While straddling the line between minimal dub/techno and micro-house, all four collaborators push and pull, allowing each others fingerprints to firmly embed themselves in the mix.
