WILT - Wilt
Songs: 7  Time: 44:44
Wilt is another project by Ryan Kodzik (of Lapse.)  Where as Laspe is more experimental and atmospheric, Wilt is more of a straight forward electro project complete with distorted vocals and danceable beats.  Clouds contains pounding percussion, which borders on techno, and droning sequences.  More subdued in its programming, Move utilizes a slower beat, and non-effected vocals.  A bit of acoustical guitar work is implemented into Kiss, a more melodic track that relies upon it heavy rhythm line and untreated vocals to carry it through.  Faster isn’t quite what I expected, as its probably the slowest piece on the tape.  Again, Ryan uses a heavy rhythm line as the backbone of the piece, upon which the vocals, trudging beat, and sonic sequences are placed.  Side two contains three mixes, one for Clouds and two for Kiss.  The Clouds mix really didn’t do anything for me, as it comes across as a more toned down version of the original.  Drownedout (Kiss remix) is a nice little piece with a changeable, up-tempo beat, distorted vocals, and a pulverizing rhythm.  I enjoyed this project much better than Lapse, mostly because it’s longer and gives me more of a taste of what Ryan’s trying to accomplish with his music, but also because it’s more user-friendly in that it has more potential to be easily accepted by most electro fans.
