about

While the last two legs of the FACKS TRACS series are yet to be issued, Bike delivers a mentalist set of heavy techno trax built using only the Korg ER-1 drum machine. The ER-1 is a unique machine, in that it only utilizes raw waveforms to generate all of the sound it produces - more like an analog machine, in fact - rather than the more common rompler approach of other units from that time, which relied on digital sample libraries to provide a voice. As such, the ER-1 has been a polarizing unit among musicians - some people hated it, while others (yours truly) hold it in very high esteem. It sounds like no other machine, with the exception of perhaps a modular system that could be designed to function the same way. Loved or reviled, Bike puts the Korg robot through its paces, pushing it to breaking points via dual-routed feedbacking and copious amounts of motion sequencing that seem to overwhelm the machine at times. Minimal and maximal!
