This Gooooose remix of “Landscape” by Roca. defies any conventional genre designation. At times it sounds like an inverted dub production dynamic. The plodding rhythm sounds like someone listened to a lot of minimal techno and decided those beats were entirely too boring and figured out a way to not only slow it down but to also give it a liquid quality rather than one that is like a distinct drum machine sound. The vocals exist in a realm of cybernetic abstraction like a guide to the lost part of an ancient city built by robots. The drones begin as a tone struck and then processed to warp downward, accompanied by stuttering, shuffling textures like a blast of steam being let out. It would be disorienting if it didn’t suggest a definite space, a dark landscape deep inside a planetoid city abandoned by its creators, occupied by a new set of inhabitants for centuries before being abandoned again and now being plumbed by cosmic urban explorers and used by artists to create massive, haunted installation art as reconstituted artificial intelligences arranged using their intelligence and capacity as the materials for a new kind of creative work. This song is really unlike much else you’ll hear until Roca. releases its next song. Listen to “Landscape – Gooooose Remix” on Soundcloud and follow Roca. at the links below.
