| | Description: | Republic by Sam Prekop, released 19 February 2015, includes the following tracks: "The Republic 3", "The Republic 5", "The Republic 7", "The Republic 9" and more.
This version of Republic comes as a 1xCD. - Regardless of the style he is working in, Sam Prekops music is always imbued with a sense of wide-eyed discovery and exploration. As the singer and guitarist of the Sea and Cake, Prekop has incorporated elements of traditional styles from around the world, expanding the public perception of what it means to be the leader of a pop band. In recent years, he has also established himself as a modular synthesist, building his instrument meticulously to find the perfect combination of oscillators, sequencers, limiters and filters to create a system that allows him to create sounds that are surprising and inviting. His new album the Republic is his latest synthesizer work, following 2010s Old Punch Card, and showcases Prekops talent for creating expressive music through mechanical patterns, repetitions, and chance. Prekops innate gifts of melodic turns of phrase that have made him a revered songwriter are transferred into new forms in his synthesizer work, aided by the unpredictable melodic capabilities of analog sequencers, and the Republic is an exciting new chapter in his development as an accomplished synthesist. The first half of the Republic consists of songs that were originally created as a score for a video installation of the same name by David Hartt, which was shown at the David Nolan Gallery in New York. These pieces strike an impressive balance between control and spontaneity, seamlessly transitioning from abstraction and discord into passages of blissful harmonic consonance. The second half of the record consists of some of Prekops most warm and inviting synth work yet, built using ideas that worked better on their own as opposed to accompanying the installation. These songs have a sense of forward motion that is often missing in many recordings by modern modular synthesists, which Prekop attributes to his incorporation of the instrument into his writing process for the Sea and Cakes acclaimed 2012 album Runner. The Republic is an entrancing album that moves Prekops synthesizer compositions further into the realm of the accessible without abandoning the experimental legacy of the instrument. | | | No. of tracks: |
