Electronic duo Soft Error release their debut album Mechanism
through Village Green. Recorded at Valgeir Sigurosson’s renowned
Greenhouse Studio in Reykjavik, Iceland. A ‘soft error’ is computer
language for a faulty occurrence in a digital memory system that changes
an instruction in a program or a data value. When associated with music
making, it’s a name that inevitably suggest the notion, or even
celebration, of happenstance and serendipity, and that’s certainly part
of the spirit evoked by Mechanism. A largely electronic pairing,
Soft Error are otherwise known as Tim and Rupert, both of whom have
musical backgrounds in dance music / DJ culture and composition for
film, theatre and TV respectively. Soft Error, however, represents a
thrilling new artistic beginning rather than being simply another
musical ‘project’. Mechanism offers a fresh and singular brand of
musical intrigue by reaching back and forward simultaneously – drawing
from the innovative, propulsive thrum of 1970s Krautrock and the grainy
textures and tonalities of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop on one hand, the
symphonic, futuristic soundscapes of composers like Cliff Martinez,
John Carpenter and Jon Hopkins on the other.That said, there is also
something wonderfully timeless about the nine, finely wrought essays on Mechanism,
across which synthesisers, keyboards and drum machines are deployed for
their sonic and emotive possibilities, rather than as a nod to any
particular niche or trend. Indeed, Soft Error demonstrate a facility for
fashioning both intimate textural detail and strong melody, often in
the same song.
