James Devane returns with another adept investigation into minimal
techno’s spaces in between. “Searching” serves as both companion to “Beauty
is Useless” and the next logical step in James’ exploration of process as
guiding compositional tool. Conceptually simple, technically robust, the
end result elicits both an undeniable groove and a trove of detail for
listeners willing to go deep. In his own words: “These recordings are the
result of chance. Using hours of source material, everything was “chosen”,
manipulated, and assembled at random via custom software without concern
for key, tempo, measures, or rhythm. A search button and a save button.”
