Do computers have a soul? Are they able to create emotions by all those zeroes and ones and to develop an aesthetic interface for poetry and music? By his second album for Mikrolux, the Niederrhein-based sound researcher Harald Karla again explores the emotional subtext and harmonies in the binary code of his computer. This time, however, he strikes less strictly technical paths as with his 2005 debut album 'Chiplandschaften' completely made of Commodore Amiga 1200 samples (also released on Mikrolux). Thus, the natural romance of tracks like 'D.A.Y.R.A.I.N.', 'A.I.R.P.O.R.T.', 'S.Y.N.C.E.D.', 'A.K.U.S.T.I.K.E.R.' or 'B.R.I.T.T.L.E.' is even more surprising. These sounds are bewitching the listener and take him to sensual depths with apparently agravic ease. Selected from more than thirty productions from the past two and a half years, the fourteen tracks of 'p_composing' all represent the vision of reproducing ambient jazz by means of downtempo elektro. And who knows - maybe the microchips in Karlas studio indeed have comfortingly lolled under his production commands?!
