The latest release of the Abdicate Cell netlabel features a rather obscure project of the name Kill the TV. Its title “El país de las máquinas”, which is spanish for “the land of the machines”, gives a good idea about the music’s main characteristics:

A machine hall, crackling, decaying echoes, analogue synth lines drop down the dusty floor. Slowly formates a dubmatic abstraction without fixed rhythms. Above all lies the threatening athmosphere of hovering tritones and overflanged echo loops. Transition to the second movement, swirling particles of bit crushed samples, machine noise adds chromatic vibrations. A digital variation of Instellar Overdrive, Syd’s zippo gliding down the strings, before some TR-808 drum emulations redefine off beat as something melting down and irregularily dripping down the floor. Grainy voice samples and chopped off forths tripping off some alarm signals. Carried away by hallucinatory snatches of sonorous voices a bleeping radar is trapped in a mushy echo loop.

Kill the TV fire off a multitude of events in their two track ep and demonstrate how abstraction can be used to create intriguing tension, and even paint a lively scenery. This is ambient sound in a very literal sense: Creating a scenery that you can reach out for with your hands (perhaps not too close in this case). I consider this a very good release that I would like to recommend as download to my readers.
