The EP by BÃ©zier Negative Velocity sees the Californian artist (now for a few years a Berlin resident) initiate the launch of their new German-based record label KÃ¶rperspannung. BÃ©zier, whose career (since the early 00's) spans close to two decades of focused, ground laying work: from lighting up the Honey Soundsystem collective's bulbs to generating a steady pulse of releases on Josh Cheon's Dark Entries records, has built a dynamic repertoire weaving a mosaic of influences across cultures, generations and spaces. A lifelong learner of music from an early age Robert Yang has been under constant calling to deploy music in an artful, stylish and meaningful way. For 'Negative Velocity', BÃ©zier collaborated with Bay Area drummer and avant-garde musician Dave Easlick taking live recordings of him on a drum kit warping and wrapping his parts into curves and ellipses that project mappings outward into the atmosphere. From Easlick's source material BÃ©zier generates a technological, multi-dimensional landscape through mental manipulation of sound waves bending the fabric of time and space. For both the title track and on the B-side 'Diabolical Embroidery' the lattice work here involved sampling and resampling every hit and puncture from Easlick to atomize, pressurize, Polish and disintegrate into fine particulate matter while reassembling parts back together fortifying the sonic tapestry further and further and further... 'Deep Sea State' is an exercise showcasing the raw form of Easlick's drumming but laced with an adamantium frame. Melodies from BÃ©zier's musical training past haunt the entire interlude.
