gram - simple funk ep
label: underscan
format: 12"

flecked with dirty digital debris, the scattershot breakbeats of "incest intro" stagger out of a whirlpool of shifting, flanged electronics shuddering with misplaced filename chaos, heralding gram's particular take on microsound composition. graham love's sound falls well within the current expectations of software music, though with a suitably off-kilter feeling which can happily incorporate silliness among the clever layers of programming. "simple funk" itself is a brightly wandering collation of uprising chords, twinkling stabs of trebly light and inhaler bass rhythms, while "ah yeah" wibbles to itself in rapidly-sketched glitch phrases, and even includes a stuttery vocal sample shoved through delay fx spirals.

"pussy jazz" fizzes in a collage of spoken tv snippets and some frantic hyperspeed drum & bass mania which soon twists itself into soundcard synth evaporation. last up on the ep is "a strange feeling of fulfilment", where some further fm dabblings lead nowhere very much except flatly circuitous discordance with more of a head scratching than satisfying impression left behind.
