Crisis Of Representation

Budapest-based composer Gábor Lázár debuts on Shelter Press with his second full length album, Crisis of Representation. Continuously defining his unique composition skills over the years, Gábor Lázár shared a first release with Russell Haswell for his now defunct imprint Last Foundation, quickly followed in 2014 by the album I.L.S. on Lorenzo Senni’s Presto!? label and EP16 on Boomkat’s The Death of Rave, before collaborating last year on a joint album with Mark Fell for the highly acclaimed The Neurobiology of Moral Decision Making, also released on The Death of Rave. Crisis of Representation, his next statement is a collection of 7 (+1) pieces. Recorded over a long period of time, the record gathers tracks « recorded in 2011, some in 2016, but all of them represent the same quality to me, which is really important in terms of being focused over a long period of time ». Titled as Crisis of Representation, the album is another step further into the direction his abstract techno fragments. Instead of repeating beats, Gábor Lázár maintains linearity by using only one type of characteristic sound and a few composition techniques throughout the whole album. Gábor Lázár Crisis Of Representation will be released on January 2017 on LP (with bonus CD), CD, and digital formats. Mastered and cut at D+M by Rashad Becker, with artwork by Zsófia Boda.
