x3d5 - Hard Floors (2010)

One of those same locals at the feet of the statue – also operating under an impenetrable moniker – is x3d5, who has been experimenting electronically for less than two years. His previous time had been spent with a musical education in more traditional realms, i.e., in the field of classical guitar. Things, however, would change. Under the sway of various Western artists in the genres of dark ambient, idm, and glitch, x3d5 “began to dedicate himself wholeheartedly to his favorite activity. He now plans to spend his whole life[!] working on electronic music, releasing albums, and giving concerts.”
