O&o Defrag 24.5

Dean De Benedictis, aka Surface 10, is a Southern California based composer/producer/performer/conceptual artist and electronic music pioneer. He utilizes his interests in a variety of musical styles and concepts ranging from experimental electronica to ambient, IDM to progressive jazz and beyond. "In Vitro Tide" is a re-edited mesh of musical materials Dean had recorded since the time of his first release in 96. It is a sentiment of timelessness filtered through a series of experimental approaches. As an edition to the electronic music world, "In Vitro Tide" epitomizes the mystery of existence through technology. Surface 10 is nothing less than a pulsing, wreckless tour de force of spiky, punchy beats welded and fused with white noise, grunge guitar, dislocated voices and a swaggering disregard for somnolent sine wave culture that permeates much of todays Electronica.
