Ultraviolet Light is proud to announce a split vinyl LP featuring three new tracks of exploratory music apiece by innovative electronic musicians Todd Barton and Hainbach. 
 
Four decades into making music in conversation with modern classical, jazz, poetry, ancient music, new age, and the avant-garde, Todd Barton continues to craft sounds that know no boundaries. Berlin-based Hainbach’s side conjures a pulsing and immersive electronic landscape very much in conversation with Barton’s spacious and unfettered compositions. Taken as a whole, the album relocates us into a cerebral yet viscerally affecting cinema of orchestrated chaos and near-future noise. 

This release continues Ultraviolet Light’s unique relationship with both artists. Todd Barton curated the artists featured on the label’s sold-old Buchla Now cassette; Barton and Hainbach’s first pairing was on a 2019 Ultraviolet Light split cassette.

The Hainbach and Todd Barton split vinyl LP will be released on January 13, 2023, and limited to 300 copies.

"A while back I found a Casio keyboard on the sidewalk. I took it home and pulled it apart. After discarding the keys and exposing the IC and circuit boards, I began to soldier connections between the IC and various copper nodes on the Keyboard. In some places, I installed switches and pots between the wires. Some of the wires I allowed to float above the board so that I could use alligator clips, or my fingers, to make temporary connections. This tape documents the sounds the new instrument produced. The album cover is a photo of the instrument as it looked during the recording process" - JJR 2023

"The works that appear on this cassette are all live, improvised takes that were produced by using software that is listed on the blog Missing Music. The website serves as a repository of 200+ rare and obscure music packages that were available during the 90s onwards for Macintosh computer systems. Almost every corner of the Internet was inspected for traces of software that was once known but now forgotten; old forum posts, forgotten mailing lists, dormant FTP sites, P2P filesharing hosts, the Wayback Machine. The Missing Music blog acts as a hub for music historians and software enthusiasts to discover Mac music software that once populated the digital landscape two decades ago and influenced the sonic aesthetic of what electronic music is today. This record is a contemporary reimagining of what can be achieved using this now obsolete software using nothing but iBook and PowerBook G4 computers." - SS 2023
