[U.S.] [ATL] Bruno Pronsato 9-12-09 **New Venue**

[Eric Brown]

Bruno Pronsato (Hello?Repeat, Orac | Berlin)



Seattle producer Bruno Pronsato (aka Steven Ford) took several giant steps in 2005 toward the peak of the experimental techno mountain. Both on vinyl and onstage, Pronsato kept up a hectic pace of production and performance, catalyzing listeners and crowds in Germany, Switzerland, Turkey, Mexico, throughout the United States, and a triumphant set at Montreal’s Mutek festival. Twelve-inches on esteemed labels like Orac, Musique Risquée, Milnor Modern, Philpot, and Telegraph further elevated his stature and built his international fan base.
A sound scientist whose work is equally playful and rigorous, Pronsato deploys a canny use of space and idiosyncratically fashioned rhythms to disorient and build suspense—like some 21st-century Miles Davis or Eric Dolphy of the laptop. Despite being a minimal-techno artist, Pronsato offers a palette that’s as full of unexpected patterns and meticulously rendered textures as a Wassily Kandinsky painting.
Pronsato’s compositions unsettle in original ways, yet they also slyly tickle funnybones. Often both humorous and erotic, his cuts are the wild cards that adventurous DJs pull out when they want to take the dance floor to strange new levels of motion. Therefore, Pronsato’s releases have become elite selectors’ secret weapons of beguilingly baffling quirkiness that still move asses.

Things were new: Everything seemed possible, nothing had been tried, worn out or ruined. (Or, as Shed would say, "Full of vigor.... not yet touched, used or exploited.") Then a few years pass, and formulas grow, build, recombine, mutate. Sounds pass in and out of scene and sound, phenomenon and fashion. After a while they end up ubiquitous, then reviled, then on the shelf or in the bin, forgotten or forgone, the better to be remembered and returned to when times are ripe once more. And now? Now it's 2009, and a minimal house groove and a few plugins doth not a track make. (Or, if it does, stick a fork in it, please. Please?)

One of the artists who appreciates the above state of affairs is Bruno Pronsato, whose album Why Can't We Be Like Us officially put the pluggo wannabes and laptop haircuts on notice with compositions more maddeningly intricate, complex and—crucially—intriguing than anyone else out there…. except maybe Ricardo Villalobos. Maybe. Then, about one year ago, Villalobos' first Vasco EP dropped, orbing everyone with its otherwordly tones and atmospheres, the remix from Shackleton hinting at a way of continuing to explore while exiting what was, by then, a constricting template.

And now? Now we have 2009's key statement in exploratory, extended-playing, intricated minimalism. At nearly 39 minutes long, and with a decay of more than ten minutes, "The Make Up The Break Up" is the most sublime and self-indulgent minimal track yet (ever?) written, ushering a whole set of ideas further into deep space and late senescence than they've ever been. The drum programming is as spectacular as you'd expect (i.e. light years ahead of almost everyone else); the length of the track is, oddly, not excessive; but the highlight is, without a doubt, the Nico sample, which comes roaring out of the thicket of drums with the lurching urgency of a palpitatingly approaching overdose threshold. In many ways, "The Make Up The Break Up" out-Vascoes Villalobos, while throwing down the gauntlet to RV (or anyone else, for that matter) willing and able to produce the next statement, to boldly go longer, further, deeper… go on, I dare ya.

Or is this whole malarkey getting boring? My two cents: "The Make Up The Break Up" is both the culmination of the relationship and (for the same reason) high time for a new lover. Enjoy the make up sex while it lasts: You know you can't keep going on this line much longer.
