KKOT IS THE SOLO ELECTRONIC MUSIC PROJECT OF MARCO RICCI. MOVING BETWEEN EXPERIMENTAL IDM, GENERATIVE AMBIENT, ABSTRACT TECHNO AND DIGITAL SOUND DESIGN, KKOT EXPLORES A COLD AND DETACHED SONIC LANDSCAPE BUILT THROUGH MODULAR SYNTHESIZERS, ALGORITHMIC STRUCTURES AND FRAGMENTED RHYTHMIC PATTERNS. WHILE EARLIER WORKS FOCUSED ON DRONE, MINIMALISM AND CONCEPTUAL AMBIENT COMPOSITION, THE MOST RECENT MATERIAL PUSHES FURTHER INTO RHYTHMIC DECONSTRUCTION, GLITCHED PERCUSSION, HOSTILE TEXTURES AND OBSESSIVE ELECTRONIC PULSATIONS INSPIRED BY IDM AND EXPERIMENTAL TECHNO. PAUSES, SILENCES AND NEGATIVE SPACE REMAIN CENTRAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROJECT, TURNING ABSENCE ITSELF INTO PART OF THE COMPOSITION. THE RESULT IS A DESOLATE, SOMETIMES AGGRESSIVE, SOMETIMES HYPNOTIC EXPERIENCE SUSPENDED BETWEEN HUMAN FRAGILITY AND MACHINE LOGIC.
