I cannot be restricted by physical releases. Nic Hamersly of Sarasota is the analog man who fell to earth, trapped in a digital world. But as Ortrotasce, his minimal synth project, he comes off more forward-looking and -sounding than a lot of modern gearheads. Ortrotasce is late-night music for the delicate dance of cybernetics interfacing with human tissues and organs, rather than a nightclub mating-ritual soundtrack. Though his recorded output is ethereal and frigid, drained of human affect and defect, watching him live is an oddly visceral experience. Here you see human-machine collaboration at its most direct as Hamersly feverishly moves from machine to machine in his synth-porn array to re-create these songs live in the moment. Ortrotasce evokes synth-punk and -pop past and present, without tumbling down a nostalgia wormhole. A binary selection of the artist’s prolific work, “Ortrotasce” is a two-headed beast. Side A opens with the brilliant “World Un Related”, underscored by anxious synths, driving bassline, and spectral vocals. “New System” follows suit with throbbing drums and a woeful guitar rhythm, while the instrumentals “Diffuse” and “Shatter” feature heavy cold wave synths and dizzying sequences. Side B turns feral headlined by “Losing Mind,” an EBM behemoth driven by loaded industrial percussion and savage singing/shouting. The same severity surfaces in “The Body”, “Passion”, and “Expanding Room”, the latter a tenebrous instrumental marked by clever and infectious bass lines and rhythms. released May 16, 2014 Written, arranged, performed, recorded & mixed /// Nic Hamersly All songs recorded /// 2012-2013 in various parts of the USA Mastered by A.J.
