dTHEd’s music theory is based on Timothy Morton’s concept and book Hyperobjects, and alternative sensory processing, neurodiversity.
Musically it may resemble an insane mash-up between contemporary electronic music and the likes of Stravinskij, Stockhausen, Dhomont, Vaggione, Riley, Reich, etc. It is an active research on the possibilities offered by avant-garde electronic tools within variable metrics.
dTHEd deploys a wide palette of electronic techniques (from sampling to AI) to create a hyper-music with a post-human aesthetics. Structures and beats are crafted to go beyond human possibilities. The idea is to defy the capacity to mentally anticipate patterns in real time or recreate them ex-post, as well as the sheer ability to actually perform them, without necessarily reaching high BPMs.
This is a purely posthuman music: a music that acknowledges the fact that we have entered in the Age of Asymmetry (ref. Morton).
dTHEd defines these post-human, diverse patterns: “hyperbeatz”. They represent the starting point of all the songs in the album. Once composed the hyperbeatz, the challenge was to build “pop-like” structures on the foundation of these alternative and unheard rhythmic figures. In line with this post-human, neurodiverse approach, the voice is utilized in a non-semantic manner: it contains no recognizable words, just sounds, bringing to the forefront Sassure’s issues of signs, signifiers and significance, and questioning how neurodiverse people may perceive the wide variety normotypical language(s) and the shared sets of symbols and signs which we give for granted. The extensive and deep use of a huge variety of characters, taken from all the languages of the world, for the titles of the
tracks, purposely underlines this issue.
Concepts like auditory chimeras, synesthesia and limits of bio-musical entrainment are therefore central to dTHEd’s musical production.

Rock oltre il rock, funk oltre il funk, elettronica oltre all'elettronica...più un sacco di altre belle cose che sintetizzano le varie anime vonneumanniane in quello che probabilmente è il loro album più fruibile...e quando dico fruibile é un eufemismo: sta roba dà chiaramente dipendenza.
Come da tradizione, le canzoni sono scrigni pieni di dettagli musicali intriganti che si moltiplicano ad ogni ascolto, gioielli di arrangiamento, gemme di composizione.
Un album che sembra il frutto della freschezza e vivacità d'un gruppo esordiente, ma composto ed eseguito con la perizia di musicisti navigati.
... e, visto che anche l'occhio vuole la sua parte, aggiungo pure che l'artwork é meraviglioso.
Magnifico. Michele M.
