V4w.enko and d’incise collaboration is a pure product of the internet generation, they knew each others music far before getting really in touch. They’ve been both very present on the netaudio scene during the past years. They created this album, then later meet and played some concerts in Switzerland developing a different way, more based in improvisation, to generate their music. So the album is definitely home music, a fine tuning of ambient, glitches, electroacoustic, soft hisses and a slight touch of fragmented electronica.
Their music is about duality, of spaces, languages, focal points, always so close but never totally in contact.
The sounds are built from a contrasted proposition between automatic processing, algorithmic synthesis, cold demonstration of theories that are suddenly getting sensitive by a context of stochastic, organic, human mind related layers of acoustic sounds and underlines of delicate noises.
Thing happens separately and simultaniously, never in conflict, none having more value than the other, till reaching the point where the melt into one music.

Frans de Waard about AM.P.E.REM.EC (vitalweekly 852)
This record is a busy one, with lots of action happening all over the place. Glitch music throughout all of this, with broken and slightly distorted sounds working around as loops or sing
le events, but there are many of them, along with a lot of other sound events, loops, single shots. The two longer tracks on the a-side seem to have these glitch like sounds more up-front, and on the other side they seem to be more in balance with whatever other sounds they also have used in this - and hence me thinking about different duties in mixing these pieces. It's quite a nervous record, as there is so much happening here all of the time, on all sorts of levels. Far away, close by, somewhere in the middle, on the right, on the left, and perhaps in corners we don't know. I am glad I didn't play this using headphones, as it could easily be a nerve wrecking experience. It's a record that I like, but perhaps also one that sounds already a bit dated - going back to the early parts of this century with such labels as Ritornell, Meme or ERS. That says nothing about the high quality of this LP however, as these boys cut and pasted an excellent ride together.
