RIPIT is the project of the French NICOLAS ESTERLE for almost 25 years. He explores electronic instruments thru distortion, ranging from industrial hardcore to breakcore, from doom hiphop to dusty dub. Beside his solo project, he took parts in various bands like SOLAR SKELETONS (with TZII), FUJAKO (with HHY) and more recently THE ÅNGSTRÖMERS.
RIPIT is back with a new LP after 3 years spent mostly on the mesmerizing collaboration between THE ÅNGSTRÖMERS (his duo with FRÉDÉRIC ALSTADT) and the Haitian voodoo ensemble CHOUK BWA.
While RIPIT is better known for his radical noisy breakbeat work, "A Church or A Factory" explores a more industrial, power electronic and noise ambient side of his synthesizer lust. The instruments abused on this record are : Serge modular, Knifonium and various eurorack modular. The A-side has 5 powerful synthetic industrial songs which feature each one a different guest vocalist. The B-side is a long ambient noise piece that will plunge the listener in an anxious meditation.
