JakoJako - Aequilibration
A1. F22.0
A2. Kogn. Dissonanz
B1. Resilienz
B2. Katharsis
JakoJako makes her debut on Leisure System with Aequilibration, an EP of atypical techno and electronic experiments.
In F22.0, waves of paranoia break over driving, asymmetric rhythms, offset by soothing, whispered vocals. Kogn. Dissonanz maintains the tension, making clever use of polyrhythms and blasts of machine gun fire. The B-side takes a more hopeful turn with Resilienz, where warm oscillations cluster around a simple but effective groove, and the restrained cries of Katharsis close the EP with powerful intimacy.
Self-taught and primarily a live performer, JakoJako makes extensive use of modular synthesis in her productions and on stage. ”Depending on how you configure your system, you can design a completely different instrument every time. I love when it’s surprising me.” When not in the studio, her expertise is put to use advising well-established artists on their own systems at Berlin’s synth-mecca SchneidersLaden.
The release features artwork by Invisible.xyz, and is available as 12” vinyl and digital download from June 7th 2019.
