biogen - Halogen Continues
Repress!
Biogen’s a different kind of musician, always travelling the road less trodden. All law’s broken - no chords, no build-ups and no traditional drum patterns. Instead Biogen offers listener’s fragmented shredding’s, constant irritations, glitches, imbalance—and enough creative ideas to supply a whole battalion of electronic musicians. His works are full of contrast. Occasionally soft and mellow - like a cloud in trousers - Biogen would call that “sofa-trance”. Other times the music’s harsh and uncompromising with uncomfortable, irrational beats and glitches - “Weird-core” - a vast uncharted territory. Some might be tempted to connect the contrast and contradictions in his music to his long battle with manic-depressive disorder. But the disparity in his music is its strength, confounding and delighting the listener.
It’s five years since Biogen passed away, but his influence is keenly felt among Icelandic electronic musicians.A fair amount of tracks on ‘Halogen Continues’ are previously unreleased, or self-released in very small amounts. The music moves from ‘Irrelevant Information’ where Biogen illuminates on “Stabastab" a mysterious international institute he dreamt up, originally on the ‘Mutilyn’ LP that he handmade and sold himself. It was an anti-LP, a non-linear album of drones, crackles and weirdness. ‘Bliss’ is from the 1996 double CD compilation entitled "Icelandic Dance Sampler” that he helped compile. ‘303 Ambient’ one of the recent works of the "Weird-core" era - also a regular event showcasing abstract electronica. He was the front man of the movement; regularly performing in Reykjavik with shows included lots of break-beats and 303’s.
