A ‘soft error’ is computer language for a faulty occurrence in a digital memory system that changes an instruction in a program or a data value. Instrumental duo, Soft Error, Tim and Rupert, album ‘Mechanism’ offers a fresh and singular brand of musical intrigue by reaching back and forward simultaneously – drawing from the innovative, propulsive thrum of 1970s Krautrock and the grainy textures of BBC Radiophonic Workshop on one hand, the symphonic, futuristic soundscapes of composers like Cliff Martinez, John Carpenter and Jon Hopkins on the other.
