When SynchDub's latest album, Twilight Last Glance, was released, it captured
critics and the public alike with its unique mix of experimental, minimalist and
ambient sound. With electronica becoming a more dominant force outside of the
clubs and underground hip circles, SynchDub is building a sub genre that's been
called rhythmic ambientalism, conjuring up transcendental sounds that make the
body and spirit move. That innovation has earned SynchDub the envious
distinction of the "Heart and Soul of Electro." For years, she was a
percussionist with a variety of artists in her native Belgium.
In late 2006, SynchDub released its first album, the playfully titled Drone, which
caught the progressive ears of DJs and Internet radio with its signature
sound-style. Utilizing varied and rich electronic methods such as Leftfield,
BreakBeats, and Computer Beeps, SynchDub's sound runs the gamut from exuberantly
bright to emotionally deep and dark. While aimed more towards the dance floor,
the record was what SynchDub calls "an introverted affair," allowing the
external sound to immerse the inner emotions.
Noted for putting a human face on electro, SynchDub is also influenced by the
Eastern culture of modern Japan, where electronic music is considered an
extension of the body. That fusing of mind, soul and body
is the hallmark of SynchDub's musical mission.
"Cutting and recycling again can give a totally new/other vision for me.
I like to work out another perspective, using another technique (like
a computer) for my ideas, for me it's like seeing reality in another
point of view. It is the objectivity in me that is concerned with sounds
to make my work mentally interesting to the spectator/listener, and
therefore usually I would want it to become emotional.
The human qualities that are responsible for art, music and literature
are not logical. Imagination is required and imagination is a unique
human quality."
