Review from Remote Induction:

Monophidelic is a 3" CD-R released by Erinys on what I assume is his own "label" Furious Record Technologies. Essentially featuring three versions of the title track. The first referred to as Mono.Avi makes use of the current growth in technology. Allowing this to be a video track included on this self-produced release. The video is essentially live with some effects done to the visuals. We start as Erinys is retreating from the camera he just turned on - with a toy monkey in the foreground. Erinys starts the monkey clapping its cymbals then manipulates his equipment, effectively concealed by the monkey. The motion of the monkey and sound of music meld together well - creating a captivating illusion. Caught up in this illusion we are slow to notice the backdrop. But when we do we switch our attention to the shifting projections of technical detail. Graphs and formula, mixing in contrast to the suggested to the primitiveness of the monkey. The effect on the imagery creates a certain blurriness, at its height it couples with the motion of Erinys to suddenly make him look some what synthetic - an automaton. The second track is Monophidelic itself, and is essentially the sound track from the visual. Starting as a hum and crackle as recording equipment is turned on. From there we have what sounds like a strip of metal twanged, or a set of springs in motion. Somehow this metallic construction vibrates and loops in a fascinating manner. Incendiary noise sparks and smoking static clouds mix - all effluence from initiation. A bristling mass is built, taking over your ears with its intensity. But in that mass we continue to be aware of detail - makeshift rhythm and constant motion. While the sound of Monophidelic strikes you as live, even down to the sound of the recorder start/stop. Monounsaturated would seem to be more processed. We start in a more drawn out fashion - extruding elements to create an atmosphere. Melody comes as a mildness of notes a subtle motion. While the spring sound becomes thinner and wire based. The base is a mass into which the little twitches which previously were noise become suggestions. Monounsaturated remains full of detail and with time might be described as bristling but the mood created seems opposite though elements of the source can still be made
