One of Webster's definitions for "heuristics" is "an educational
method in which learning takes place through discoveries that result
from investigations made by the student." Such a description sheds
light on the studious music created by Bill Maciejewski. Maciejewski
is a musical member of The Tapegerm Collective, which is a loop-based
recording artist community. According to the CD booklet notes,
Tapegerm Collective provides a pool of drop loop-strips, from which
various artists can draw and create music. Mr. Maciejewski has
certainly made imaginative usage of such loops with this fine release.
This is mostly a disc of electronic dance music, which also sports a
few wonderful song titles. For instance, it's hard not to laugh out
loud after reading, "An Ill-Advised Break-In at Karate School."
Funnier still, however, is the opener "That's Good ... No That's Bad,"
which sounds like an old George Burns and Gracie Allan standup bit.
The latter is also the track where this CD derives its title. The
picture on its cover shows an obviously Fifties-styled sci-fi metallic
robot standing with a welcoming couple in a then-modern living room.
Our domestic robot is shown holding a duster in its grip, which also
supports this disc's better-domesticity-through-science lyrical theme.
The music itself is electronic, and fairly dance-y. But it's also much
more experimental than groove-y. Like the heuristics definition, this
is the recorded effort of an artist learning through discoveries. And
while it probably won't resolve any domestic problems, it is
nevertheless a curiosity that will take your mind off of dull,
everyday suburban life -- at least for a little while.
