"A new label for all forms of modern electronic music from Frankfurt/Germany: Resopal® Schallware. The A&Rs behind this label are Stephan Lieb and Frank Elting who also run the Konvex | Konkav label and are better known as M.R.I..New York's DJ & Producer Alka follows up the media and dancefloor furor left from his releases on Gravitoium and with his debut album Deployed on Resopal®. Alka's uncompromising direction and message is that of a clear-minded, solid player whose scope is not limited to just the groovy minimal techno he single-handedly built up: 'The idea behind Deployed is to create an album, which is based on algorithmic thoughts. For this album I have used various modular synthesizers as well as some acoustic field recordings made during my Asian trip. The sounds have been further manipulated via custom software patches. For this project I liked the idea of using analog sequencers, because they are very intuitive and spontaneous. I use minimalism approach because I love purity of objects in sound space. For this work I have also tried to employ some new synthesis methods.The recording apparatus being properly adjusted, its indicators became fainter and fainter with the increasing distance of the sound waves emission, until they cease altogether. I am listening eager expectation. As a source of the disturbances moves away the receiving circuit comes successively upon they nodes and loops. Many times, in regularly occurring intervals, the same actions repeated until the emission, which, as evident from simple computations is moving at constant speed.'"
