The album is entirely composed using “live coding“, a technique that allows for creation and real time edition of a running program.

// Crash Server transforms machine code into music.

“REISUB” wanders into electro, noise, glitch and ambient music and sometimes deep into IDM territories. Crash Server is at the crossroads of many different influences such as post-punk, rock and classical music. It merges digital and analog, algorithmic and organic, chaotic and structured without any compromises.

The album is live coded, not composed, nor edited. The ideas, the feelings were thought through, the expression, spontaneous. We wanted it to be an accurate description of what live coding is with our own added personal flavour. Adapting, improvising, experimenting.

This album questions our link to the digital world, our evolution as a technological species, asks transhumanism-relation questions and analyses our relationship to data privacy and our addiction to technology.

REISUB narrates Crash Server’s fight against an alienating server.

// In computer language, “REISUB” is a key combination that allows to reset and restart a server or a machine //

At a time when information technologies have taken control of our lives only a radical change of setup seems possible.

In order to reach their goal, CRASH SERVER is going to overload an audio server using all the weapons they can get their hands on. Code injections, computer viruses and offensive algorithms. The server is our target. Music and code are our weapons.

We adhere to open-source philosophy, free software and we publish the code of our found techniques.

Each track has its own universe, its visual identity that explores a specific theme. You will be traveling with us through a derelict city, exploring digital isolation, scouting space colonization, rediscovering old viruses and questioning the use of our private data.
