This is Superpolar
TaÏps cassingle series #6, and I’ve checked out #4 (Qualchan.) and #5 (German
Army) already, so you should probably go back and check those out. You’ll also
find the likes of Adderall Canyonly, Nicholas Langley, and Superpolar TaÏps’s own bleed Air among the releases (a veritable Who’s Who
of the international experimental tape scene – this is your third reminder).
This time we’re checking in on moduS ponY, and it’s like this whole series was
curated with me in mind. How many moduS ponY releases have I tackled? German
Army, Qualchan.? It never stops getting old. And here on “Systemmetry” we get
two and a half minutes of lovely guitar, synthesizer, and rhythm track, a
mathematically precise, avant-garde replication of a music box. Sure, it’s not really a music box tune, but it follows
a similar pace, rhythmic pattern, and simple arrangement that, when taken altogether,
sounds like the work of a master tinker, one whose deliberate placement of all
elements reveals an intricate connection of each piece. We’ve come to know this
of moduS ponY throughout the years, yet we can still marvel at it when it
confronts us head on. And yes, this one has an unstreamable B-side too, so get
to a tape! “2ystemmetry” is too weird looking a track title to pass up.
