The Orielles released "Tableau 002", an experimental IDM track with a music video paying tribute to the 1989 film "Tetsuo: The Iron Man", featured on their upcoming EP "The Goyt Method", which uses AI collaboration to repurpose acoustic sounds, a process they call "Goytism".

The Orielles have conjured up a mesmerizing and experimental IDM track in the form of “Tableau 002”, which is now accompanied by a stunning music video crafted with the help of Manchester-based Beck Cooley. Their love for janky electronic IDM and experimental sci-fi and body horror films brought them together with Cooley and ultimately resulted in a tribute to the 1989 Japanese tokusatsu cyberpunk body horror film, ‘Tetsuo: The Iron Man’. The music video’s ‘man meets machine’ theme perfectly captures the essence of the track, utilizing metal and computer materials to create a striking visual spectacle.
The Goyt Method EP, set to release on May 26, features this track and many more that were created through a process of randomness and chance. The band deconstructed their fourth album, Tableau, and pieced it back together in unexpected ways, relying on online randomization and AI collaboration to choose which stems to use. Their passion for avant-garde electronic music and deep listening shines through in their coined term “Goytism”, describing their process of repurposing and resampling acoustic sounds through digital production. The photograph on the sleeve, capturing their first Goyt session at the chilly and wintery Goyt Mill in winter 2020, adds a personal touch to this unique and captivating musical journey.
