Boris Hegenbart takes a dub-like approach to musique concrète. Rich contrasts drawn between synthetic and recorded sounds allow texture and space to flourish in place of melody. First / Dew branches away from the very beginnings of Hegenbart’s TAU series. It takes his debut album， Hikuioto (a self-published CD released in 1996)， and re-imagines it on vinyl. “’Musicforcicadas’ [is] an extended collage of Japanese singing and insects， folded and endlessly looped into a hypnotic Steve Reich/Oval-inspired minimalist glitch mantra.” -The Answer is in the Beat Paul Simpson. Best New Reissue - Andrew Nosnitsky - The Wire， 2013 Rewind: Contributors’ Archive Charts.
