[xpl035] - Gamut by Cikkun
Turning away from melancholy and heavyness from past days we are proud to present a more
playfull version of our musical spectrum. With our next debut by Cinna Peyghamy aka Cikkun, a young french producer
making some of the best braindance we have ever heard, we showcase what real IDM is anno 2017.
Dont take our word for it, dive in and hear for yourself!

The artist' own words:
«Like Pascal, I consider that, from the atom to the nebula, models from both infinite
coincide. […] I neglect scaling as I am certain that, at any level, problems, proportions
and architectures remain analog »
Roger Caillois, Pierres Réfléchies, 1975
Cikkun looks through a scope. This is what his eye discerns:
Planet Iùa (☾), home of the Meules (木), is plagued. The Eros (Ẹ), an ore shaped specie, convert other minerals by ramming onto them to create a void in their core. As they infect every boulder, flint or gravel on their way, they proliferate. Witnessing their home being torn apart, the 木s launch a crisis ritual that will wake the Nose Bone (ሬ), the spirit in ☾’s crust. Those events scanned, a purple fleck swoops to alert its master, the Monkey Monk (Ѫ) to announce him what has begun: the Ero War. Amongst the Ẹs, the Trickster (↯) and the Ambusher (⟱) behave abnormally and, in symbiosis, disunite from the core colony and follow the purple trail. The two separatists arrive at the abode of the Ѫ and trigger a quarrelsome quarry. At the same time the Ẹs seek to trans-morph the ሬ and, aware of the magnitude of the target, they enter in their ultimate formation: Khak Shah.
