When asked about the signing, label founder Ben Sheppee said "amoeba is recognized as a strong example of progress that is currently taking place in the audiovisual movement; I think that this album will really help others realize the
art-form, skill set and raise the standard on this kind of performance."

A key element of aple is its creative concept: amoeba
explains his production technique as arrange / process / loop / edit -
the acronym of which is the album’s title. Focusing on these techniques, "versions" and "reactions" display variation around the core aesthetics of amoeba's style, and uncover an exhibition of sampling, which could potentially change the way music and video is performed in the future.

Combining an even, fresh soundtrack with museum-caliber images, the aple ep is a must-see for the designer, audiophile, typographer, VJ and art collector.
For the first time amoeba lays down some of the secrets which he has devised from
his coastal studio in the UK, and which have made him part of the international arts scene as both a performer and producer. He is now consistently taking his a/v show and touring installation around galleries, festivals and experimental media events throughout Europe, Russia and the Ukraine >>

>> Creating both music and video simultaneously - amoeba's refined typography and IDM production has attracted the label’s curators and a host of international artists, who will contribute visual remixes to the release this upcoming winter

amoeba’s EP delivers a matured, stylized motion graphic which he has developed over the past years in the visual arts scene. The music videos lean toward typographic abstraction, creating worlds where the elemental play of structure, colour and beat compete for the leading role. Varying approaches yield a range of moods: from the glitched out animation of “micro-recon” to the ambient alternation of “mirmicmeme version” and “mirmicmeme reaction”. amoeba’s new wave of audiovisual live has been described as everything from "ground breaking" to "subtly ambient".

Each track originally started live as a 5 second glitch with
synched audio known as [origin] for use as live AV samples.
Each [origin] is played directly before the [version] or [reactions] tracks,
in order to show the process and evolution of the track.

This inspiring process and collection has presented an interesting challenge to
selected remix artists around the world. amoeba has shared source files with top
visual performers and designers from Russia and Japan to Spain and US.

Each remix producer has studied the “aple” technique, and applied their own style to amoeba's experiments, arranging and interpreting the
compositions differently. Visual remixes utilize the DVDs multiangle feature,
allowing two animations to run simultaneously to the same video track.

The EP includes collaborative sessions from artists like Pitch Visuals,
the Russian VJ Mafi a ov eps + tokio , and Ben Sheppee (Japan) holds their
own next to top American act Visualite.
10 artists have contributed a volume of DVD angles to this “solo”
album, with even more material hidden in bonus features that
are built into the menu screens, waiting to be discovered.
