INCITE/ - Light Spin
- Artikel-Nr.: 10588
label: Hands, Oktober 2014 ;
Since the release of “dare to dance” in 2011, incite/ have performed on 41
international festivals all over the world, from Moscow to Madrid and from Sao
Paulo to Casablanca, including the 2013 WGT in Leipzig. The duo has also won
three considerable awards: The Qwartz Award, Paris (Dancefloor category) 2012
for the track “glass” on the album „dare to dance“; the Visual Music Award,
Frankfurt (Visual Music Live Contest) 2012 for music and video of „fire“ and the
Visual Music Award, Frankfurt (Visual Music Live Contest) 2014 for „up & down“
(music and video again).
While incite/’s debut “mindpiercing” (2009) was rather abstract and strict, “dare to
dance” introduced a stronger physical aspect; the musical agenda of “light spin”
now is incite/’s very own approach to the tune. Of course you can draw
comparisons, to glitch pop, chiptune, IDM or the academic noise sound of
Raster-Noton, but incite/ make it something very much of their own. And while
the inexperienced listener might find this inaccessibly abstract, the seasoned
electronic aficionado while catch himself headnodding or humming along to
tracks like “footprints” or “duality”. And while there’s of course a range of moods
and sounds, from the quiet and subtle (“illusion of safety”) over the noisy and
unsettling (“time skating”) to the arcane (“harbour of mystery”), “light spin”
appears convincingly coherent.
