Avbvrn is a producer, composer and DJ born in California
and based in Frankfurt. Combining a history of digital
production with study of composition under Claus Kühnl at
the Hoch Conservatory, Avbvrn's music is situated at the
intersection between experimental, club and
contemporary classical music.
Avbvrn is a formidable reworker, his output thus far
includes several uniquely twisted edits and remixes. On
Self/Similarity he turns his editing tools on himself: five
prototype tracks were written as source material and then
sampled and processed into five new tracks. The EP's
compositional self-reflexivity exudes solipsistic sonics rich
with oddly stretched textures and highly sculpted
artefacts. As a fully formed second iteration of a previous
body of original work, the EP implies infinite further
iterations...
Monochromatic, otherwordly and at times claustrauphobic,
Self/Similarity is a compelling insight into Avbvrn's
conceptually inquisitive and singularly dank music
practice. It will be released by DECISIONS on Friday 10
March 2017.
