From the album "Hurothrumbo" released by Fractal Meat Cuts.
Edits of live code duo improvisations. Chaotic, maximal, polyrhythmic techno and breaks with sharp granular sprinkles and crunching gear changes. Like a clown car mixtape.

The machine is a modular, mechanical music contraption designed as a two-player, semi-autonomous musical instrument. It plays unusual, sometimes erratic compositions drawing on drone music, minimalist repetition and fairground organ techni...

Following a recording session at The Island in Bristol with Henry Collins, the two each filled a C60 and swapped them. With half of the material each, they worked independently, overd...

Silo uses the text-based sample sequencer TidalCycles on a diverse selection of tracks broadly recalling underground dance music of the late 80s and early 90s. The combination of classic house and techno tropes with off-kilter and randomised elements infects familiar territory with an air o...
