About
An exhilarating new album of contemporary music shaped by the collaborative musical collective Powerplant – comprising percussionist Joby Burgess, sound designer Matthew Fairclough and visual artist Kathy Hinde.
'24 Lies Per Second' combines works by contemporary British composers – Graham Fitkin, Max de Wardener and Dominic Murcott – with two pieces by compositional icons Conlon Nancarrow and Steve Reich, featuring the Reich work 'My Name Is' (for audience and tape recorder) which has never before been released commercially. The disc will also be a CD+, featuring video performances of Burgess and Powerplant.
This release follows their 2008 release of 'Electric Counterpoint' (SIGCD143), a programme that fuses Steve Reich's classic work with techno-classics by Kraftwerk – restyled by Powerplant for performance by Burgess on the xylosynth.

Sixty minutes of aggressive, percussive minimalism. Consuming this brilliantly engineered disc through headphones is ultimately exhausting, but it’s a journey you'll be glad to have made...Mostly bracing, stimulating music, brilliantly played and recorded.
