AZ-Rotator
About
AZ-Rotator is the solo project of Uge Ortiz, born in Madrid in 1976. He started as a vocalist in Hardcore band Dr. Bacterio, and moved to become one half of a synth/laptop/punk duo called E.B.U.D.P, before Aphex Twin became a big influence. The discovery of electronica and IDM led to experiments with Casio Tones, old rhythm-boxes, effects pedals, dirty knobs, damaged connections, frequencies, sequencing tricks, and MIDI controllers’ and was the catalyst for Ortiz to launch his solo career.
After considerable experimentation, AZ-Rotator was born. The first release was the 2005 Clorometiconn EP on Spanish netlabel Error Deluxe Records. The cut-up, idm glitch aesthetic and experimental breaks attracted the attention of Berlin-based experimental/noise label - Ad Noiseam, and they released the debut AZ-Rotator album in mid-2006 titled Science of Chance.
