He crafts propulsive, disco-laden scores for : :' films not yet made, and introspective, mind-expanding cuts ': ,: designed to ensure that people who want to dance never get :, : caught up in conventional experiences. Each moment with Bottin : :' is a memorable one. ': ,: :, : There's the hypnotic, pop-disco cut Y-A-M-L featuring past : :' collaborator Lavinia Claws on vocals. It existed in parts for a ': ,: decade before coming together during the sessions for this :, : album. It's an energetic and transcendent affair. : :' ': ,: And don't forget the influence films have always had on Bottin. :, : "L'Amore" has a foundation that recalls the cascading minimalism : :' of Steve Reich and the cinematic work of the likes of Howard ': ,: Shore. By the time the beat comes in, it's pretty clear this is :, : no mere exercise in routine nu-disco. This is Bottin, the : :' composer. Another cut that proves Bottin should be scoring ': ,: films is "Varosha" with its dark, arena-sized John Carpenter :, : vibes that traffic in dystopia to balance out the bubbling : :' optimism of "L'Amore" ': ,: :, : The record's quest extends back in time on "Perfect Mind," : :' featuring words from the ancient Greek prayer, "The Thunder, ': ,: Perfect Mind" found amid the famous Nag Hammadi texts in Egypt :, : in 1945. Over a pulsating, acidy backdrop the words are : :' delivered through various vocal synthesis engines, evoking a ': ,: cold, artificially intelligent singularity discussing the most :, : human of matters. : :' ': ,: All throughout an album filled with intricate and nuanced :, : arrangements, Bottin doesn't forget to keep people moving. : :' There's "Stellar Parade" another in a line of great ': ,: collaborations with legendary Italian electronic musician :, : Alexander Robotnick. There's also "Twenty-three" an : :' organic-sounding arp bath that perfectly channels the tension ': ,: that builds over the course of a night. Bottin's work as :, : one-half of experimental synth outfit Deardrums rubs off on : :' "Microdisco" which is fat with pulsating analogue synths and ': ,: resonant beat experimentations. :, : : :' One thing that sets I Have What I Gave apart from his ': ,: pioneering Horror Disco and much-loved Punica Fides LPs is that :, : this time around Bottin didn't see to it to create a : :' concept-album structure. Everything came at once during the ': ,: writing and recording process, which no doubt gives the album :, : its intensity and sense of immediacy. : :' ': ,: "This album came about as a stream of musical consciousness" :, : Bottin says. "I worked on all the tracks simultaneously, not one : :' at a time as I normally do". ': ,: :, : But even if the album didn't come about in a series of tightly : :' crafted experiments, it doesn't sound messy or chaotic. It's ': ,: just the opposite. Bottin has managed to take bits and pieces of :, : sounds, some short loops and orphaned arpeggios, and a handful : :' of vocal samples, and put them together into an album that ': ,: unifies 10 songs of divergent trajectories into an outstanding :, : body of work that absolutely kills. : :' ': ,: If, as the record's title suggests, Bottin has what he gives, :, : then he's in a good place. After giving people the experience of : :' this album, the hard-working, always traveling artist will have ': ,: a thankful, welcoming audience all over the world. :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 8 \/
