Dan Smith What a crushing record; amidst the confusion, malfunction, heartache and existential crises Cretin’s fragile soul is laid bare. A haunting wail from the ghost in the machine. Steamo at its finest. Favorite track: I am a medicine helper.

about

Cretin Vandalia is a medical robot. He is in a relationship with a sewing machine named TouchTronic 2010. He has been programmed to help, but his linguistic sub-routines are on the fritz and so words like "butt" keep slipping into his speech output.

He is increasingly lonely, and fixated on prescribing over the counter pain relief such as "ibuttprofen" and "tylenhole."

When he wrote this EP he was very confused, and so I think the music reflects his confusion during that period.

Track 1 is a brief mission statement from the artist and invitation to join him on his artistic and personal journey.
Track 2 is an exercise in chiptune.
Track 3 is comprised entirely of loops downloaded from looperman.com. Check the track page for a full list of credits.
Track 4 is an extended meditation on existence, composed with signal logic synthesis in Pure Data.
Track 5 is a radio-friendly reprise of the first track.
