Patch Notes: INIT

INIT is the collaborative project of Berlinbased producers Nadia DAlò and Benedikt Frey. The duos first album, Two Pole Resonance, was released back in October 2015 on John Talabots Hivern Discs label, showcasing the pairs love of moody, krautrockinfluenced synth compositions, which featured vocals from DAlò. INIT returned to the label in late 2020 with their second LP, Gravity. The album saw the duo adopting a more playful approach to songwriting, combining house, techno, postpunk and electro to create a lighter set of tracks than their debut. This eclectic style drives INITs Patch Notes session, which melds DAlòs lyrics with experimental sound design. The session sees the duo make use of classic gear like Rolands TR808 drum machine and SH101 synth, with contemporary hardware including a x0xb0x and SOMAs Pulsar23 semimodular drum machine providing eerie textures.
