From the primeval soup of DvK emerged SYSTEM in the early nineties with the clean cut ockhamised synthetic electro minimalism of Herr A and Herr B that we’ve grown to accept as the coldest shining star on the Swedish synth scene.
Fresh from the laboratory is now a new sound and an brand new album plotted out, reminding us of the scary fact that what we thought was tomorrow now have become yesterday, in the sense that the cold synthetic voice of the machines now have grown warmer and even more - not imitating, but actually improving human noise and hence making man pointless. SYSTEM brings the machine up to and beyond life, mocking the vain attempts of nature to overcome machine.
The new release SELF ORGANISING SYSTEM does not merely reflect upon the concept of emergence from the philosophy of Descartes, but remains in the world of Herr A and Herr B an active topic of research. A self-organising system consists of multiple autonomous components that make both spatial and temporal, local or general decisions leading to a globally coordinated behaviour for the system as a whole, autonomously. The concept is however criticised by physicists as controversial; that a system tends to organise itself to its maximum benefit stands to face much mockery.
The attraction of frequencies is by no means a new concept to SYSTEM; SYSTEM has explored the intimate interaction between man and machine. But as man has taken himself out of the evolutionary equation, the next logical step in progress would fathom the concept of consciousness in machines and machine evolving machine. Hence the new album concerns the conditions of existence – both social and ontological – of the machine. But how can a post-human society evolve? The last question that rises from this is: Does the static conditions of the machine reduce it into becoming obsolete in its own perfection?
Welcome to the next level: the creation of an autonomous SELF ORGANISING SYSTEM
