 | | Electro nostalgia rarely dates any further back than Kraftwerk, but LA trinket-tinkerer and gadgeteer Alfred Weisberg Roberts, now known only as Daedelus, harks back to the days of a distant yore with his Invention longplayer. |
 | | Like Plug Research peer Safety Scissors, Daedelus is inspired by appliances; but where Scissors prettyboy Matthew Patterson Curry seeks to find the soul of a new machine --singing tunes from the perspective of telephones or refrigerators-- from its spiritual inside, as Daedelus, Roberts is concerned with the phsyical mechanics of machines, machines from long ago. |
 | | Following his high-concept post-junglist concrète/breaks picture-play Her's Is >, which was issued in typical obscurity on Phthalo, Invention seems to be Roberts' ode to the necessity of modern mechanics; the artwork filled with dreamt visions of a range of invention; from reel-to-reel recorders to letterboxes, kettles, cheese-graters, and compact cameras. |
