reAct

reAct is a Broken Composers single built around distorted voices, acid-inflected electronic sound, and a forceful techno progression. Its raw material comes from voices and percussion, altered through extreme but relatively simple processing.

We start with physical, acoustic sources: voice and percussion. In Ableton Live, these recordings are warped, pitched, stretched, and compressed, often beyond the values for which the tools seem intended. Instead of relying on complex plug-ins, we use basic processes until familiar material turns rough, uneven, and unstable.
