Bleep

Brothers Martin & Richard Dust from veteran Sheffield-based techno outfit The Black Dog launch their new side project Application with System Fork out on Dust Science Records. In a move away from the free-form experiments of their Black Dog output, Application seeks to apply the regimented leaning principles of Japanese Itamae to their work, where each new task is meticulously studied before being undertaken. Resultantly, System Fork is a highly intricate piece of experimental techno, ranging from the opening watery drones of ‘Ambient A’ to the hand-crafted, chiming dub groove of ‘Steve Reich’s Ice Cream Van’ and more mechanical, Stroboscopic Artefact-esque textures on ‘Siren’.
