Neuroleptica

The full length version of Tardive Dyskinesia by Neuroleptica is up on a new YouTube channel now. This track first appeared on Heinrich Mueller’s Resident Advisor 250 mix of music by him and his collaborators. This version is almost 8 minutes long and does sound very Muellerish to me. There is another track on this channel called Dies Irae which is another similarly lengthy track that is said to be the “soundtrack from upcoming album The Wrong Side of the Mind.” I wouldn’t want to commit myself to this being a new project or another collaboration of his yet but it could be. So far the profile which was set up on 19/9/11 lists a 31 year old from Belgium but usually if it’s official Mueller will put his name to it. Going by the titles the music is suitably disturbing. The second track is the puzzler, what do you think?

Neuroleptica is a general condition caused by antipsychotic drugs which produces a state of apathy, lack of initiative, and limited range of emotion and in psychotic patients causes a reduction in confusion and agitation and normalization of psychomotor activity. Tardive Dyskinesia is a condition which is characterized by repetitive, involuntary, purposeless movements, such as grimacing, tongue protrusion, lip smacking, puckering and pursing of the lips, and rapid eye blinking. Dies Irae means day of wrath (end of the world) and comes from a 13th century Latin hymn.

  2. It's quite good but I don't think it's his. Percussions sound "wrong". Reverbs too. My guess is that it's someone following his methodology with fairly good production skills (think Federico Leocata type of guy). Also, it makes me wonder about the photodementia account: very drexciyan with a neurological disorder for a name... Coincidence?

    I mailed the channel and he replied:


    Hello,

    Concerning neuroleptica: we are still experimenting. There is no release date confirmed yet. We do have some other tracks but we like to keep them private untill the release.

    I know it's kind of vague but you will know everything in time.

    The project 'neuroleptica' is a realization of a couple from Belgium. It's not Heinrich Mueller :). But he used it in his mix for Resident Advisor.


    Best regards
