Robert Lippok, "Robot"
To Roccoco Rot’s Robert Lippok sees him taking elements of Roccoco’s sound and adding more of his own touch to it. Alas, at just over 20 minutes there is just not enough here.
This taster is enough to whet my appetite for a full album's worth of music; it is frustrating to be constantly restarting this album in order to satisfy my need for more. However, the music here is enchanting and far more organic than the EP's title would suggest.
While some of the miniatures (and at 20 seconds, some of them are microscopic!) suit the short time scale, I felt that many of the pieces could have gone on for much longer. The opener "Tracking" is one such piece, it is just getting started when it finishes. When Lippok does let the piece go for a conventional amount of time the result is definitely a lot more pleasing. "Unexpected Behavior, No. 7"and "Pick and Place" are two charming pieces, it would have been great to hear a lot more like them.
