Album Info

Release Date: 2020-06-08

Label: Fractal Meat Cuts

An edition of 20 tapes recycled from a set of 20 tapes from a boxed set of electronic organ tuition, "Play It Today".
Recorded May 2020 using the Music by the Metre method. Each tape is individually recorded in sequence.
The covers are handmade from air rifle target paper and rubber stamps.

The recordings were made with automated systems which were left to run, each tape recorded in succession so that each is different to the last while containing sound from the same set of sources.

Side A uses locked groove records, synth pulse and physically triggered home made instrument, the featherphone.

Side B uses the live-coding program TidalCycles: an automated composition that shifts tempo, timbre and rhythm over time, different parameters changing randomly or with different phase relationships.
