about

"When [things] intermingle, that is, when they are in motion, a double movement is observable: first, the usual, clockwise movement, cumulative and expanding as time goes on, and determining the events that are passing; second, an opposite, backward movement, folding up and contracting as time goes on, through which the seeds of the future take form. To know this movement is to know the future. In figurative terms, if we understand how a tree is contracted into a seed, we understand the future unfolding of the seed into a tree."

- I Ching (Shuo Kua).

Pulling influence from Music Concrete, Spoken Word, Abstract Beat Tapes, Climate Activism, Rhythmic Noise, among others, this double EP from BIPED is all of these; and much more than the sum of its parts. A wake up call from the post viral malaise we have found ourselves enmeshed in, through institutional inaction, weaponised idiocy, and a hostile environment for anyone who doesn't fit the status quo.These EP's serve as a riotous antidote to all of that, and Avon Terror Corps is very proud to have this one on the books. There's a strong sense of rhythm throughout, through either heavy processed beaty passages or extended repetition and ambient flutters. This is compounded throughout with a mix of delicate sung vocals, heavily articulated spoken word passages. Repetition acting as mantra peppers the EP's structure throughout, never seeming less than immediate and urgent. A wholly essential release, full of sound, fury, and tenderness.

CALL OUT FOR REMIXES:

Both EPs are an outcry in the cold silence of individualistic culture. The USBs containing the music and visuals (Blu Ball) also host a link to all of the audio + visual stems. BIPED + Blu Ball invite all purchasers of the USBs to make their own remixes using any/all of the stems. An event will be run in late August / early September to launch the EPs and showcase all remixes. It's in your hands now. Speak, make, trust yourself - do your worst. Any requests for support, advice or feedback need only email biped.contact@tutanota.com.
