Turning Points

*digital album available from Renick's Bandcamp renickbell.bandcamp.com/album/turning-points Live coding by Renick Bell Art by George Tourlas Compiled by The Fissure Family Mastered by Philippe Vandal SR064 "Renick Bell is one of the most notable members of the “algorave” movement, a scene made up of artists that write club music with code in real time. Ableton Live this is not: Bell writes tracks by the seat of his pants, manipulating samples with simple text-based editing software. Although some of this tension is diminished when you hear this music outside of a live setting, the way in which Bell keeps elastic kicks, rubber synths and rattling kickdrums spinning around an unstable center of gravity makes Turning Points one of the year's most thrilling club albums." - FACT Magazine "...Renick Bell is one of the best in the business for this sort of thing, and [his] new tape Turning Points demonstrates exactly why. Frenzied IDM, digital MIDI-bap and slamming Szare-like techno all rear their head here in Turning Points' first three tracks alone." - Norman Records
