American electronic musician and sound designer from Atlanta, known for intricate, highly detailed compositions, strong sound-design, and releases on labels such as Schematic and Warp.

Associated with Warp and Schematic (distribution/release mentioned in reviews); described in reviews as a sound engineer, sound designer and author of VST/plugins, live performer mixing improvisation and heavy pre-programming; remixer for artists referenced in reviews (Aphex Twin, Herbert, Enduser, Otto Von Schirach).

Reviews present Richard Devine as a meticulous, highly experimental electronic musician and sound designer. His records (Lipswitch, Asect Dsect, Cautella) are praised for extreme detail, complex rhythms and advanced sound-design. Recommended for patient listeners and fans of challenging IDM/glitch.

For:Listeners of experimental electronic music, IDM/glitch fans, sound-design enthusiasts, and those who enjoy challenging, detail-heavy records.

 This album, which fell into my hands, is one of the most incredible and complex records I have ever listened to.

 A masterpiece of electronic music produced by a genius of the laptop and "synthesization".

 Devine experiments, free from barriers and clichés, as one always wishes those serving electronic music would do (whose practically infinite potential makes those using it clumsily / pop / lazily appear ridiculous and laughable - even worse if with ideas copied from third parties who arrived before and/or pretentious star attitudes - and I think of people like Jarre, Vangelis, Underworld, Air, Fatboy Slim, Crookers, Moby, Guetta, Gary Numan etc., while Devine we put in the category of experimenters/creatives/eclectics/visionaries/anti-stars/anti-commercial rules; more simply Artists with guts, thus in the same container along with people of broad and very open inventive currents, connectable to concrete music, industrial, apocalyptic folk, abstract IDM, Detroit-techno, free jazz, ambient-techno, experimental rock, etc., but which, in most cases, are challenging to label, precisely because of their ability to break pre-packaged and already existing patterns.)
