about

Randomworld Two was originally released in 2008 as a limited edition of 150 CDRs. Ableton randomisation parameters were used in order to shuffle the playing of the five musicians, whose recordings were split down into dozens of small files, so that each individually generated CDR version was unique.

This DL only re-release uses Martin Archer's personal copy of the piece, and is considered a good representation of the edition as a whole.

For the avoidance of confusion - Randomworld Two uses completely different source material and a different line up to Randomworld One - it is not just a alternative version of the same material.

"Convinces as a compelling piece of electroacoustic music....its location of conventional acoustic instruments within a self-arranging digital framework producing moments of creeping insectoid menace that recede to intervals of pastoral reverie....recognising the capacity of the machine to create and direct, and the importance of the human element when it comes to spontaneous composition" - WIRE

Elsewhere
by Bernhard Wöstheinrich

As much an item for the Tangerine Dream nostalgist as TaboTago's Kymatica, but this time Bernard (who is part of TaboTago) intentionally aims on TD's Zeit, their monolithic 1972 album. To keep the form, Elsewhere also consists of 4 long pieces. This music has much more to do with atmosphere than melody or rhythm. Very "kosmisch", very "Berliner Schule"! And, if you own a surround system, definitely go to surroundmusic.one to get the 5.1 version, it's a real treat! Carsten Pieper
