ROTOSKOP, the electronic weirdo from Essen, is restlessly searching for input, without fear of contact and open to exchange. A wanderer between worlds. Inspired both by the rhythmic experiments of renowned electronic acts such as Squarepusher, Aphex Twin, Mouse on Mars, Schneider TM, Richie Hawtin, and Massive Attack, as well as heavily influenced by the alternative scene with acts such as Nine Inch Nails, Neubauten, Joy Division, Depeche Mode, and Cave.
An oppressive mosaic of sounds, samples, and noises is laid over nervous beats that are rarely straight, often delayed, and always organic and rough. Headz attitude with an alternative background. Digital sounds, analog instruments, and human voices condense into an impressive body of work. The mood is mostly dark, but always with an eye toward the light at the end of the tunnel.
