When I first started my journey making music as The Algorithm, I always had in mind making a record that would tell the story of my own self-development. A rich and cohesive set of pieces that put together would transmit the visceral need I have for open-mindedness and growth of the mind in musical form.
Back then, I simply didn't know how to make a record like this. Today, Compiler Optimization Techniques is the execution of this idea, with the years, experience, and emotions that refined its core direction.

Userspace is one of those tracks that originated from an old idea. Last year I was digging through an old hard drive of mine and I found this 30 seconds spacy techno riff I wrote in 2010, probably getting bored of it before moving to something else. Listening to it 5 years later was like listening to it for the first time, and it filled my head with so many ideas that I made the track the 6-minutes piece it is now.
It is crazy to think that 5 years ago, I was unconsciously talking to myself from the future, already writing my 5th album while I was barely finishing my 2nd one.
The track is also a more personal approach and was the chance for me to show more of my own emotional side. Userspace is very nostalgic but I didn't want to use too much of the nostalgia clichés. The direction was more focused on the powerful post-metal approach combined with a few synthwave elements. It's some kind of a blend between the two, and something that was new to my ears and made me feel like I want to keep creating things in that direction.
Some of the ending take a lot of inspiration from Justice's Planisphere, one of my favorite piece of electronic music:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZgfrDMQFas
The video was made by Opaque in Cologne, Germany. We only had a few meetings but they made an incredible job at capturing the vibe and the story of the track and even some of the shots were recorded during an actual show!
The title is a reference to computer architecture:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_space

I don't remember exactly how the first riff idea came about but I remember it being kind of influenced by Gojira's Art Of Dying first riff, although it's essentially a different idea. The very first synth is sampled from a single-note computer POST beep. The same one from the intro of Boot.
The arpeggio riff at 0:33 is almost a continuity of what I tried to do with the introduction melody on Pointers, except I went way more apeshit basically. I loved playing around with subtle nuances between the left and right melodies. I was already sorry for the drummer Jean Ferry learning this mindfuck. But obviously it didn't stop me from making it even more complicated. *evil computer laugh*
The part at 1:34 is a very important part in the story of the album. This section obviously leans towards the post-rock side of my ideas, which is a very unexplored territory so far. But I think it's exactly the kind of part that allows me to express more emotions. You see, it's not all about being complicated as fuck. In my tracks I really need the space to talk from the heart and while that sounds a bit cheesy, it's exactly what I like. A lot of the writing process is about trial and error, or about experimentation, or a about sitting there and changing things for hours. But the true joy often comes from those simple riffs and melodies where I take time to infuse my own melancholy. And I guess that's what the album is telling you right at this moment.
The rest of the track is very inspired by these sets of ideas and tries to bring nostalgia in a more focused way than the tracks before. The black metal part is kind of a nod, or is at least very inspired, by Der Weg einer Freiheit and their amazing melodies. When the track collapses, it leaves a lot of room for what it is - i think - the deepest of my own nostalgic and lonely self... But that's where writing music becomes a remedy. :)

I guess that's also what happened to most of the middle section of the track, which once again kept being moved around, deleted, re-constructed. It's always difficult to find the right balance between perfectionnism and straight-up insanity, I could keep changing things in my tracks forever but that's when I draw the line before the insanity kicks in.
I always see the track as some kind of subliminal tribute to old school keygen music (https://youtu.be/aQVpW7QZnW0) and everything related to l33t w4r3z h4x0r stuff. I can't really explain why, it's more of a vision or a feeling. Those things are always hard to describe. I guess it's because I grew up downloading illegal softwares and browsing through warez forums. I was the guy who burned CDs of cracked games for my friends.
The title is a reference to pointer objects in programming, because I'm still a nerd: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointer_(computer_programming)
The video was directed by the great Richard Oakes at Dark Fable Media, give him a like!
The algoshit is the guacamole.
The concept follows the previous track and is meant to represent some sort of gate into the infected machine. The first melody reminds me of a crazy Tron imagery for some reason.
The voice at 1:54 was sampled from the metronome track on the Roland TD6V, it's kind of a private joke.
The first part of the slow section was originally written with more of a post-rock vibe with acoustic drums and more guitars, but for the sake of contrast and to link this section with the nostalgic techno stuff at 3:20 I finally decided to make it more electronic and dropped the whole post-rock thing. Maybe for next time. That section at 3:20 by the way is somehow a reference to Boards Of Canada's sounds.
Then something that usually never occurs in my tracks just so happen to be here: A riff repetition! I guess I've experimented with non-repetitive structures so much in the past that the only way for me not to repeat myself would be... to repeat myself? Now that's #deep. Hashtag definitely deserved.
Floating Point is one of the most satisfying tracks to play live and Jean even made a youtube video for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnVIpU7_6jg
The name originates from maths because I'm a nerd:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point

]]>The structure of the track changed a lot through time. The techno section at 2:18 had a 2-guitars third harmony. From the beginning on I knew I wanted to bring more guitars into my sound, but the harmony didn’t make it as I went back through the track months later and decided that a straightforward synthwave-ish feel was a lot more powerful and gave more of this speedy feeling I was looking for. The first breakdown sounded a lot more simple in the first version of the song, I progressively added complex patterns and glitches as I refined the sound I was going for along the writing process of the album.
