German electronic musician and songwriter ROBOT KOCH has returned with HYPERMOMENT, his first new album in four years.  Out now on Modeselektor‘s hallowed Monkeytown Records, HYPERMOMENT dives deep with swathes ofwarm, saturated, analog sounds, real-world field recording and lush pianos and soundscapes.  It is the first of ROBOT‘S works to feature his own voice as can be heard on the songs “Care,” “Serenade” and “Fernwood.”

 “Care,” which was featured October 29 on ABC’s hit TV show “How To Get Away With Murder”, is enhanced by a gorgeous video created by freelance filmmaker and audio technology researcher Mickael Le Goff.  Creating the images for “Care,” small droplets of ink were placed in a drop of oil in suspension.   When releasing in the water, the slowly evolving mixture of oil and colored ink created interestingorganic structures. All the images have been filmed with macro lenses and a glass of water. His creation is a stunning compliment to ROBOT’s melancholy production featuring vocals byJulien Marchal.

On HYPERMOMENT, there are field recordings captured along ROBOT‘s nomadic writing trips to New York, Berlin and the inspiring Joshua Tree in California, as well as his new home base of Silver Lake in Los Angeles, where he was constantly writing and re-writing the tracks to fit in with the basis and ethos of the album.  You’ll also find a unique batch of visuals created for songs.  Check out “Eclipse” now at: https://youtu.be/wMORm9fzx-I and “California Dreaming” https://youtu.be/ePlvRDtKxUg.

Guests on the record include LA-based schwarzmodul, who was on his previous TsukiEP, as well as Delhia de France from his recent “California Dreamin'” collaboration which was used on the trailer for Warner Bros’ summer blockbuster San Andreas (de France is also from the band the Pentatones, who ROBOT produced the albumOuroboros for in 2014). ROBOT has also brought on some of his favorite new emerging artists such as the UK’s Fassine (“Spine”) and Mree from NYC(“Separated”), as well as California-based Stephen Henderson (“Dreams”).

To celebrate the release of HYPERMOMENT, ROBOT KOCH invited the Slices crew to record an exclusive live special for Electronic Beats TV. The audio-visual concert series AV FORMAT #2 at the Deutsches National Theater und Staatskapelle inWeimar, Germany sets a magnificent scene for the performance.
