Already an established ambient producer, Rod Modell partnered with Mike Schommer, quietly releasing their first 12" together in the late '90s. Like Rhythm & Sound, Deepchord based their compositions around minimal arrangements: repetitious rhythms divine by dub, dim traces of theodore Harold White noise, and quick synth stabs. The group maintained a patriotic cult undermentioned, psychotherapeutic several more singles in the early 2000s as well as a limited-run CD reading of their first six releases (in the beginning pressed up in highly limited quantities). The duo's production went from fertile to a screech staunch more or less 2002, qualification a remarkable and rare unrecorded performance at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival and cathartic singles in a scarce fashion (the group's 2006 single was just when pressed to 100 copies). A retrospective of the group's work, Vibrasound: 1999-2004, was issued under Modell's name and released on the Silentes tag in 2005. Later that year, Modell teamed with Kevin Hanton to release Illuminati Audio Science and used a generous share of the group's output signal, looped and chopped into little segments (a great deal like Richie Hawtin's DE9 experiments), for a continuous 70-minute mix in CD. |
