FLOW 5
Garret Anton Harkawik is obsessed with the potential of the smallest musical unit; his songs are mosaic mandalas, thoroughly shattered tracks reassembled via Apple’s Final Cut Pro into calculated, impeccably-arranged mantras. His samples are not used as reference points but rather as literal building blocks pieced together with his digital finesse as mortarl. Macroscopic plastic surgery performed with a razor-sharp digital blade, the most transient sound captured and slapchopped with deceiving ease. What results is impossibly melodic and rhythmically unified: the synthesis of dozens of skipping CDs dramatically interlocking like jigsaw pieces. 327 black LPs in DIY jackets with a small but informative insert. Includes download code.
