CLOTMix 081: EROTECHRE
Best known to many through their work as DJ Maicol, Erotechre marks a different outlet for the Glaswegian artist. Following a formative spell in Vietnam, it gradually evolved into something far less fixed, laying the foundations for a radically different approach to live performance. From its earliest conception, Erotechre has resisted settling into a fixed form. What began as an ambition to realise the project as a band has gradually evolved into a live machine-based performance where improvisation and instinct are not simply creative tools but the conditions from which the music emerges. At the heart of that evolution is a broad constellation of influences gathered across different places and experiences. Encounters with improvised music, ritual performance, club culture and experimental electronics have all quietly informed Erotechre's musical language. For the latest CLOTmix, we caught up with the artist behind Erotechre ahead of their show at The Waiting Room in London this Saturday to discuss improvisation, cyber aesthetics, the creative potential of risk and what can happen when performance is allowed to exceed intention.
