Press Reviews
"With the explosion of music-making software programs in the late '90s,
practically anybody can create CD-Rs in the privacy of his/her domicile.
Of course, most of these DIYers deserve the oblivion that is their
natural destiny, but a tiny fraction have forged compelling patterns out
of their gear's 0s and 1s. One such bedroom producer is Singlest, a
hard-working citizen living in one of Detroit's western suburbs who also
writes about music for publications both glossy and online. Untainted by
formal musical training, Singlest gets by on his innately keen judgment
about what sounds interesting.
Using pirated shareware programs, Singlest designs austere digital sound
that could be right at home on respected labels such as 12k, Touch,
Raster-Noton and Mille Plateaux. While some of those imprints' output
can be aridly academic-sounding, Singlest's work is more playful. As
with all microsound releases, headphones are mandatory to fully perceive
5k Mind's textural grit and grain; the music's surprising movements
through the stereo spectrum; and the myriad aural data that fluctuate
between insectoid and mechanical. Within Singlest's cool, calm and
collected compositions there occurs a fascinating hubbub of sonic
molecules, offering attentive listeners an hour of music in which to get
pleasantly disoriented."
