CC043 - Eric Schlappi - Larval Beak
Pulsating industrial machine?
Tribal jam from another dimension?
The perfect soundtrack for the eruption of a volcano under water?
Larval Beak could be all these and probably more, but it's mostly a great new EP by none other than Eric Schlappi (who creates eurorack modules under the brand Schlappi Engineering).
There is no definitive answer to what genre of music this is supposed to be, it's constently blurring the lines between industrial techno, harsh noise, jazz (yes... I decided to...), drone and dark ambient.
Perfect for those who like suprises, weird textures and even weirder melodic ideas.
All tracks written and recorded by Eric Schlappi.
All tracks recorded in Grenoble, FR, 2021-2022 as part of an AV collaboration with Bastien Lavaud.
