Consisting of sound + video work, the concrete beats that this outfit construct sound as though they have been produced mid earthquake. Rhythms fracture and sonic textures tear as their tracks run parallel with the video only to be twisted and fucked up by tectonic shifts below. Rooftops are the overground that provide Battery Operated with their source material for this click-ridden, messed up beats driven sound elevator. The dark side of Willi Wonkas chocolate factory is a good analogy of the way technology is employed on this record, akin to the Wonkad elevator which breaks out of the structure that holds it in limbo. The lift is the vecuum that takes us through manga style sound manipulations to sickly sweet strings in between floors. Jazz and industrial traditions along with breakbeat, music concrete and electro acoustic experiments are all picked up and dropped at will on this sonic lift surf.
