It would be one composer instinctively reacting to – and finding space within – another composers already completed work. Furthermore, the album’s unique timing structure and flow fueled his curiosity and pushed him towards an idea of composing accompanying piano pieces (counterparts) for each of the tracks. A masterpiece of restraint, depth, and music as architectural vision, ‘ Consumed’ was profoundly influential, defining the soon-to-emerge minimal movement and counting among its biggest fans creative, cultural icons such as sculptor Anish Kapoor, fashion designer Raf Simons and two decades later entertainer Chilly Gonzales.Īfter hearing ‘Consumed’ for the first time shortly after the album’s 20 th anniversary, Chilly felt that the record’s loose use of melody and negative space threatened his musical sensibility. In 1998, techno legend Richie Hawtin released the seminal album ‘ Consumed’ under his Plastikman alias on his own Minus label. A delicate balance of Plastikman’s genre-defining electronic style and Chilly’s virtuous traditional musicianship, this track sees the artists collaborating indirectly, finding common ground where others would see none. The artwork is a reinterpretation of the original album’s, flipped to black and white and with the cutout size transposed to the dimensions of a piano key. “Consumed in Key” will be available digitally and as a deluxe triple vinyl LP on April 1 st, 2022 via Secret City Records in Canada. Plastikman & Chilly Gonzales present “Consumed in Key” – a reimagining of Plastikman’s 1998 magnum opus ‘Consumed’, transformed as a new collaborative composition between original artist Richie Hawtin and sad musical genius Chilly Gonzales… This is the story of an album three decades in the making, brought into the world by Executive Producer & co-visionary Tiga.
