Label: Terranean Recordings

A Netlabel Day 2016 release.
"This is fractal music: simple tunes repeating within themselves six or seven layers deep to create a woven carpet of mathematical music in which higher order patterns can be heard.

The impulse towards making automatic music is an old one. One wants to put the process of choosing the notes in the hands of something other than oneself: for the sake of efficiency, for the sake of elegance, for the sake of seeing what will happen. Fractals lend complexity and a sense of naturalness: a humane beat within the machine.

Some fractals on this album are based on tunes played as sine waves, others are samples chopped up into microsamples which are used in place of notes. The original sample is noted on the sample based tracks."
