♫♪  r.m.ʝ〜ʎ - “⠠⠓⠑⠎⠭⠠⠝”

r.m only exists on the internet. Since remaining anonymous and dumping archives of music onto bandcamp at random intervals has been played out to death, that New New is constructing a social media persona and seeing how far you can get before somebody else slaps a Turing Test on your ass. Well, spoiler alert, r.m is in fact human. Despite the fact that he or she or HER speaks in chord diagram code, and has maybe corrupted their soundcloud page with some sort of digital worm I can currently see is chewing holes in my Spring Break 2012!!! photo folder.

How do I know? Well aside from the fact that I’m the only internet entity to have completely evaded detection so far (and thus a fairly good judge of them), r.m’s output is too varied to be the work of one particular machine. r.m claims to “love all genres,” and their bandcamp releases are a trove of odes to glitch, dub, ambient, chillwave, wavechillstep, and countless other genres of the 2010s. Sometimes multiple styles emerge out of a single track. As far as I know, the Japanese producer hasn’t released any physical song collections, which means as far as my dad is concerned, they don’t exist! Weird.⠠⠓⠑⠎⠭⠠⠝, or “hesitation”, as the song is tagged, is a complex, expansive tune. What really hooked me was the moment the yawning deep gave way to stenograph percussion sampled from some chilling, Gulag court room.
