How Machines Dance
by Incite / (Fragmented media, GER)

Bone-dry minimal electronics, fragmented slomo grooves and broken rhythmic arrangements played in sync with abstract grayscale videos.

Incite/ was started late 2002 as a duo project of Kera Nagel and Andre Aspelmeier. From the very start, incite/ has defined an highly authentic and unique sound on its own: The grainy loops and static noises arranged over sublow bass drum join up to a abstract glitch-hop that defies easy categorization. It never was objective to smoothly entertain, so they successfully claimed a style of their own they call minimal listening, which is focused on minimal variations in the micro-structure of loops and patterns. Fragmented electric junk and fragile bursts of static noise join up with extra-charged sub-bass-kicks to form one subtle yet grinding flow in perfect conjunction with the intensity of the meticulously constructed stark-gray visuals. Ever since the early beginnings live shows were the main focus.

From April 03 through April 06 incite/ played more than 60 gigs, including tours in Europe and the US, numerous single gigs and festivals. December 04 marked a milestone in incite/'s development: their first 7" was released on fragmented media and they debuted their conceptual live set including videos that are triggered live in perfect sync with the music presented in a distinct mise en scene.
