Recorded in late 2011 for the Gneiss Things label, which ceased production around that time. A hard drive failure then put the music out of reach for some time, but was miraculously discovered in an archive untouched for 9 years!

These recordings were made with a dying Oberheim Matrix 1000 polyphonic synthesizer which had a "bad" voice chip, such that every 6th note played would have a different timbre than the rest, which, along with the 13-bit processing of the Alesis Microverb III and other mysterious behavior of the synthesizer contributed greatly to the texture of the sounds.

These recordings are more or less an ode to a dying Oberheim Matrix 1000 polyphonic synthesizer (purchased from Jamie Hepler of Nest Egg), which had a "bad" voice chip, such that every 6th note played would have a different timbre than the rest, which, along with the 13-bit processing of the Alesis Microverb III and other mysterious behavior of the synthesizer contributed greatly to the texture of the sounds.
