The Bristol duo behind Fuck Buttons are the gift that keep on giving. First, Fuck Buttons. Then Benjamin John Power’s exercises in electronic landscape painting, Blanck Mass. Now Andrew Hung’s Rave Cave. An EP created by utilizing the inertial periods of touring and combining them with a Nintendo Gameboy. In Hung’s words:
In a world with an ever-increasing emphasis on packaging and delivery with seemingly infinite resources and techniques to carry these things out, there is a danger of us losing our vision in a fog of presentation.
Whilst touring, I needed an outlet for writing music; it drives me nuts to not have access to a means to making things. I’ve tried making music on laptops; carrying tiny peripherals around the globe, but this still wasn’t a portable solution. I’ve tried tablets but having my fat fingers play keyboard lines on a touchscreen isn’t very fun. In the end, it was the decrepit obsolete games console, the Game Boy, that opened up possibility for me again. Limiting but liberating, the emphasis is on fun.
