Background/Info:
Behind Maedon is
hiding American female artist Maeghan Donovan. She got some experience with
dark-techno under the ‘Pulsewidthmot’ moniker and now set up Maedon. “Against
His Will” is the official debut record released on Adam Mitchell’s label Sonic
Groove.
Content:
Forget about easy
clichés girls can’t make rough music! Maeghan Donovan brings hard and
unpolished techno-music driven by solid EBM bass lines. The tracks have been
achieved with industrial sound treatments and fine bleeps. The EP features 4
hard-hitting cuts of EBM-minimalism!
+ + + :
There’s an
impressive sonic welfare running through this work. The sound production is
voluntary unpolished and brutal, which mains emerges from the kicks, but the
work is accomplished with an impressive sonic canvas of industrial noises and
fine bleeps. I also like the way the tracks have been constructed, moving
towards transcendental breaks. The icy sound treatments are brilliant,
reinforcing the tormented sphere supporting this production.
– – – :
The rhythms are
somewhat linear, which is not that surprising for this kind of production, but
Maedon abuses a bit of the rough format.
Conclusion:
This is not techno
music for the clubs, but a format for dungeons and dark cellars; this is a
perverted techno format I like!
