Scored for theremin, space echo RE201, toy piano, ARP­prodGX, Roland SH101, Prophet 600, 808 Roland, per­cus­sions, tape recorder, ana­log delay Ibanez UE305, toy piano and “scream­ing”, this album is an exer­cise in cre­at­ing a sense of uneasi­ness in the lis­ten­er. French elec­tron­ic musi­cians Eti­enne Jaumet and Cos­mic­Ne­man (from Her­man Dune) acknowl­edge the influ­ence of George Romero and John Car­pen­ter’s hor­ror films as much as the tra­di­tion­al elec­tron­ic gurus. I can’t say that Mad Dog held my rapt atten­tion all the time, but it suc­ceeds well enough in its aims to be worth a seri­ous lis­ten. This is a 2006 debut full-length release (after one 12“er). I don’t know if there has been any fol­low up since then.
