XOpak: Beneath Waves by Robot Koch “Every preset has an instant visual attached to them, almost like a scene from a movie”His unique sampling process combines field recordings with the unpredictable analog nature of processing sounds through custom-built tape machines, adding warmth, warble, and life to achieve his unmistakable textural sonic landscapes. “I embrace imperfection in my sound. It’s not something I try to get rid of, but rather I invite it in”.Koch layers sounds — often 10 or more — into one sonically rich final amalgamation whose origins are no longer fully discernible. “I like when people don’t exactly know what’s going on, or how it was made”.You can’t tell if it’s the water, wind, rain, or tape noise from one of his countless field recordings you’re hearing, but you subliminally recognize and embrace the organic nature of the sounds.With the “Beneath Waves” XOpak, Robot Koch invites you on a unique and unprecedented collaborative sonic journey.
