rm74 - mikrosport (CD domizil)

In the digital compositions of Reto Mäder aka rm74, a world is generated
with granularly sketched pixel- and microsounds that approach unobtrusive
to the listener with a working method close to the
macroscopic; an imaginary acoustic plan opens up and leads us to warm and
cold places in Mäders experience park of little things. rm74 likes to fall
back on source material like flirring neons, as well as digital and
analogous mistake origin, that form the scaffolding of the single units,
and sometimes longing little melodious pearls flash up; craft and skill in
the microbe empire: Microsport even.
