23/10/2013, Didier BECU

I’m not really that sure that I’m the right person to review electronic music. Either I like it or hate it, but I never know what to say about it. As this little gem ended up in my post box I was forced to do, and even if I’m speechless (for finding the right terms that is!) I’m kind of glad I discovered this piece of Intelligent Dance Music as it’s damn good.

Hydrus are two musicians who program their own patches for electronic software and musically they like to be compared with Plaid and Autechre. The cynical reader might notice that these two immediately picked up the biggest example of the genre, but in some way I can see the point.

Nodes is a mini-album on which you’ll find six pieces of electronic minimal music. Technologic music with brains or just brains that are owned by technology, I don’t know, but this is good stuff indeed.

Change does not start with weapons, but with insights, questions, images that make people think. That is my form of resistance.

I did find Punk music a bit conservative … and a bit infantile.

Dictatorships always fall eventually, because words are more powerful than weapons, and ideas live longer than regimes.

'I create music because I have a strong need of being creatively driven and expressing myself. And the fact that others appreciate what I do and want to listen is just a big bonus.'
