Guitarist, composer, and producer Beatdenkerโs โReal Utopiaโ takes listeners on an imagined abstract haven far from our brutal reality with experimental electronic music explored in 15 tracks.
The first track, โMultidimensional, Recursive,โ sets the stage for the album with mechanic sounds that whir, zoom, and surge over rhythmic beats and glinting, shimmering melodies.
The ninth track, โReal Community Is The Future,โ is an ambitious 9-minute exploration. It begins with glitchy noises that buzz and intensify. Underlying synths purr anticipatingly. Halfway through the track, the buzzing evolves into an electrifying surge, mimicking electrocution in progress.
โReal Utopiaโ ends with โExit Selfishness, Yippie,โ and presents eerie, swirling synths that give off a robotic and alien vibe. Itโs a thought-provoking ending to an album thatโs filled with sonic surprises.
What makes โReal Utopiaโ even more impressive is the fact that it was entirely produced on a computer in one week. Beatdenkerโs spontaneity and improvisation shine through in the music, despite its digital origins. He utilized virtual synthesizers, instant composing, granular synthesis software, and drums per finger drumming. With his ingenuity, he has created a rich and layered electronic sound that transcends the boundaries of conventional music production.
โReal Utopiaโ is a vision of a better world. Beatdenker envisions a future where we can coexist harmoniously and where rights and opportunities are shared. In a world marked by crises and conflicts, this vision is both audacious and necessary.
