The newly unveiled rework of Plastikman, also referred to as Richie Hawtin‘s iconic 1998 minimal-techno document, Consumed, is now out there to stream. The pioneering digital music producer introduced aboard Grammy Award-winning pianist Chilly Gonzales for the commemorative undertaking, aptly retitled Consumed in Key. In tandem of the LP’s launch, the pair enlisted Berlin-based director Hiroo Tanaka to direct a fascinating quick movie to accompany the undertaking. Haunting and wondrously revolutionary, the album has been three a long time within the making, collaboratively made by the 2 revered artists and government produced by Montreal-based Turbo Recordings founder, Tiga.
Shortly after the twentieth anniversary of Consumed‘s launch, composer Chilly Gonzales remembers listening to the album for the primary time and feeling a mixture of intrigue and curiosity. He dubbed the album “the science fiction of jazz” and felt as if the work’s free-form tackle melodies and adverse house “disrupted his musical sensibility.” And so, he instantly went to work composing piano preparations to pair alongside every tune within the authentic document. Tiga would later go on to fill within the gaps between each of the artists compositions. As seen realized within the quick movie which debuted on April 1, Consumed in Key is a end result of musical innovation from two luminaries over years of progress and a novel communality discovered on the intersection of an unlikely pairing of genres and instrumentals: techno music and classical piano composition.
