Ricardo Gomez Y De Buck is a noise/industrial/ambient musician, probably most known for his work in Kraken, a Belgium-based duo of him and Joris Vermost. Ricardo has also recently released a solo record under the guise of RGYDB vs Kids, titled Noisebevel – soundsculptures accompanying a projection made by children from an art school in Bevel/Kessel. The duo of Kraken has been around since the late 80s with a number of great releases, most of which came out in this millennium on Spectre and more recently Raubbau. Both Ricardo and his co-conspirator are visual artists as well as musicians, and, accordingly, Kraken’s output has a strong visual element to supplement the music. Much like the mythical creature, little is known about Kraken – they seem to just appear occasionally out of the great abyss and drop an album for humanity to ponder over. The sounds on these records are like the echoes of those same oceanic depths encoded in the project title, or like echoes of the sea of subconsciousness in which we all sink or swim. Field recordings of remote conversations, layers of faint, barely recognizable sounds, oppressive atmospheres that creep up on you through the vast emptiness – all of this and much more can be found in the works of the great Kraken. When asked to categorize their music, Joris Vermost once said it could simply be described as “flow of thought”, and it does seem eerily accurate to think of it as just that.
