Prepare yourselves for a duel. Or more duels, so to speak. BiP-Hop and Fällt deliver the contestants. The first match on life and death is between Komet and Bovine Life, both established striders in the field of electronica. To make a long story short: none of them dies, they both survive gloriously. Luckily for the audience, the game was hard, demanding on both sides, and long enough to create a feeling of intense fulfillment in all of us.
At first, it’s obvious they don’t know eachother that well. They turn round a couple of times, sometimes trying to force an outbreak by the other. Komet seems the stronger one. His explorations into a drone world with echoeing dub-bubbles are sharp enough to leave a lasting impression in anyone’s skin. The pieces of white noise are like a fragmentation bomb in the mind. But then there’s Bovine Life, who decides to approach Komet directly. They turn to eachother. The sounds get more introspective. The absence of melody gets stronger, leaving an icecold atmosphere filled with frightening screams and undefined hisses and noises. The strange thing is that, altough alienating, the sounds are addictive. Maybe a hidden masochistic side in your subconcious? Perhaps. The battle continuous. Bovine Life has taken the lead. His attacks aren’t as well-directed as Komet’s, but due to a wider range there’s no escape for Komet, or for you for that matter. Bovine Life chooses a softer approach, so you’ll allow him to come intimately close. And then, oh so predictable, it’s too late. And you realise that Bovine Life and Komet worked together from scratch. That no matter how hard you would have tried, there wasn’t any possibility you could have walked away. But you’ll forgive them. You have to, because the feeling of intense fulfillment, created by the things you just were allowed to witness, is stronger than the regret. But next time, you’ll surely prepare yourself a lot better.
