Album Info

Release Date: 2019-02-01

Label: Gruenrekorder

This 30-track album documents the website project of musician/artist Achim Zepezauer called "Slotmachine". It mixes up recordings of 45 seconds length in a slot machine. Clicking the start button activates the machine to randomly combine pre-produced recordings within three slots. Instead of typical fruits in the display, you would see photos attached to the specific sounds by the artists responsible for the content. Even the names of the „songs“ are put together by the single names each artist had chosen for their recordings. The vinyl release on Gruenrekorder documents the project with a selection from 13 artists and 158 recordings, that offered a possibility of 3.944.312 tracks. The online-slotmachine has the ability to continuously grow and contains at the date of the vinyl release (February 1st, 2019) four more artists and a total of 225 recordings, providing some 11.390.625 possible titles.
