GIMMIK - (most prominent) is Martin Haidinger.
(Additional works - Abfahrt Hinwil, Num Num, Low Profile Society, Das M)
Slow Motion Process (WI025) , Load error ep (toy1), Rythmus Der Stadt (toy6), Back To Basics (toy16)
Worm Interface 2000 & www.toytronic.com
Reminiscent of Boards Of Canada, with its intrinsic melodic qualities, and similarities in constitution, or Autechre, with its organic shapes, Slow Motion Process seems inhabited by nature - liquid beats and drop-like sounds form the core body of this record. No bleeps or noise terrorism in sight. The sophisticated rhythmic constructions are wrapped in luscious waves of warm synthetic silk. From time to time, a voice sample appears, almost unnoticeably moving within the spectre, cloud in an otherwise perfect sky. Or an abrasive resonance, quickly overpowered by the tide. Sounds are carefully chosen, assembled, and disassociated. The crickets opening RC Units, or the robotic gibberish that follows, the marbles at the beginning of Monitor, similar to the one heard on Autechre’s Krib, imperceptibly morphing into beat, the long reverb at the end of Form2… The focus here is on undefined cinematic landscapes, leaving behind all notions of time or spatial awareness. The listener is surrounded by complex micro organic life forms-like structures, living in symbiosis in wide-open spaces, interacting with each other. A theory of evolution devoid of any human interference.

Slow Motion Process is one of the best electronica albums ever written,I love it. In my opinion Gimmik is totally under rated and is in a class of his own. What a shame the album is not in press any more.

I've been deeply moved by Haidinger's sound, more than any other electronic artist I've heard.. well maybe Esem. Rhythmus Der Stadt is my favorite EP of all time. It seems that he might have sung his heart out by now (2008) but I very much hope for new material.

No, he's not :) There's a multitude of similar idm / minimal / ambient artists that have the exact same style and the exact same shining brilliance. Gimmik is good, and I enjoy what I have of him... but that Bio is predictably pretentious to the maximum. I don't hold it against any artist; it's quite amusing browsing through the various forms of IDM and seeing how (overly) serious each artist takes their place in this 'Intelligent' form of music :p

I swear a lot of idm producers have a clandestine operation going on: who can create the most pretentious-bullshit artist wiki possible! "A theory of evolution devoid of any human interference"... "taking electronic music beyond all known boundaries". Fucking puh-leez. Good music but we're talking as if this guy is Mozart reincarnate with a MacBook in hand.
