Boundary

Boundary is an experimental electronic musician from Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. The project is associated with Montreal producer Ghislain Poirier, who has also released music under his own name after changing direction several times across his work.

Style and sound

Boundary is described as a techno album and as an old-school take on IDM. The music is presented as a form of dancefloor-oriented electronic production, using dark textures and complex rhythms to shape club music in a way that recalls the early period of artists such as Autechre and the first Artificial Intelligence compilation on Warp. It is also noted for having 13 tracks.

Background

The Boundary project is presented as a more anonymous release than work issued under Poirier’s own name. The name is also used for an Austrian metal band from Vienna, but the electronic project is the one identified here as a Dominican artist from Santo Domingo.
