L+P-2 is Rivet’s second album following his acclaimed debut, On Feather and Wire, released on Editions Mego in 2020. The wheels were already in motion for a subsequent album on the same label, but tragedy struck. Peter “Pita” Rehberg, the legendary owner of Editions Mego, suddenly passed away at only 53 years old, leaving the experimental electronic music community in a state of pitch-black grief. Rivet was among the many deeply affected by this loss. The inspiration and support from Rehberg had propelled Rivet to create at a level he himself was uncertain he had mastered. For Rivet, Rehberg’s death felt like the death of music.<\/p>\n
However, that brooding sentiment was abruptly shattered when Rivet’s beloved dog and companion, Lilo, was diagnosed with incurable cancer just a couple of months later. They were inseparable, and now they would be separated nonetheless. The only way Rivet could cope with this double blow was to compose\u2014for Lilo, for Pita, for his own sanity. L+P-2 is the result.<\/p>\n
While the album naturally emerges from a place of despair, it’s remarkably comforting. Partly, this stems from Rivet’s singular ability to make machines not only sound human but also act human\u2014sincere and warm, yet flawed. In more than one track on L+P-2, you’ll encounter a distinctive melody and a gnarly bassline dancing hand in hand with Rivet’s eccentric and captivating drum patterns. Then, seemingly on a whim, the melody takes off on its own, leaving the faithful bassline behind\u2014much like a dear friend that suddenly vanishes from your life without warning. Yet life goes on, and so does the music. But never unchanged. Never.<\/p>\n
L+P-2 is an album of lamentation, yet also of resolve\u2014a dedication to those who go through life losing more than their share because they always carry too much.<\/p>\n
