Lodsb steps the processing up a notch on this release, a no holds barred excursion into digital deconstruction. Disturbing and beautiful in equal parts, this album is not for the casual listener, but is rather an intricate and overwhelming excursion into dense and challenging territory.
retort records
Deriving DSP-bound electrical pulses dipped in muddy soil, each augmented slice of high-pitch-low-pitch squelches offers a detailed perspective of how machines can transform into artistic visual-audio platforms. [...] Not only does Lodsb bend, twist, shift and peal layers of digital corruption, he does so with the ease and fury of parallel artistic voyagers such as Funckarma, FMcontrol, Randomform, Richard Devine et al. [...] what remains is a turbulent dose of snips, snaps and crunched compositions keeping your eyes and ears locked-in from start to finish.

Aero, takes the listener through an abstract world of micro sound crunching, glitching and misfiring. No sonic element is left unturned, unwraped or unwarped. Two years in the making, the album is definitely a delight for any DSP junkie, sound designer, or just pure geek.

Les traits de Aero sont grossiers, bigarres et anarchiques. [...] Et pourtant c'est vachement bien. Parce qu'en matiere de collages et de technique pure, Lodsb n'est pas un lapin de six semaines. Sa formation de musicien classique l'a probablement aide. [...] L'ensemble a beau etre taille a la serpe mal affutee, il n'en est pas moins jubilatoire. Avoir quarante idees a la minute [...] Les vrilles retro-futuristes de l'allemand sont ereintantes mais degagent un charme et un aspect ludique certain. [...] On trouve dans les interstices de Aero des residus de diabete et de tetanos. On en redemande, tanpis pour le cholesterol et l'epilepsie.
chroniques electroniques
Quasiment inconnu, l'artiste vient de produire une galette dont le foutraque n'a d'egal que le genie. On ne saurait trop vous conseiller que d'ecouter cette merveille, entre IDM decerebre et breakcore a deconseiller aux adolescents pour qui le mot "concept" fait mal a la tete.
