Replacement Sequence is an antidote to algorithm-driven, cloned-preset techno: raw, grimy, brooding, modular hardware groaning with voltages, every sound touched by human hands on knobs.
The first full EP from the duo of Peter Kirn and Florian Meindl, the pairing sees a meeting of two synthesists known for their affection for machines.
The result is darkly hypnotic, organic tracks with Detroit-inspired grooves, in undulating arrangements on modular synths.
The ritualistic intro is narrated by texts generated on locally run AI large language models, describing a world of conformist creativity, cycles of synthetic percussion ceremonially framing the release’s entrance.
Then Florian and Peter get down to dancefloor business with “4th Wavetable,” a restrained but heavy-hitting excursion into waves of hocketing beats. “Invisible Door” picks up the base with an insistent groove - a track that could take peak-time slots into some cross-dimensional mental state.
“Mintropolis” is a harder, industrial take on electro, punctuated by wailing distant pads and spine-tingling synth patterns. The title track closes the release with an ominous epilogue from one of the bots—a warning.
There’s some irony to those AI voices; here’s the human rebellion, refined, precise, but defiantly weird.
