While living in San Francisco in the early to mid 1980s, Joseph B. Raimond had the chance to work with an old Buchla modular synthesizer, some of the results of which ended up on the first DWM self-titled cassette, released in 1984 on eMpTy Records. Ever since, he has wanted to continue these experiments, and got the chance almost forty years later once many of these old systems had been recreated digitally and offered through the internet. One of the more abstract DWM releases, this entire, roughly one hour long composition is the result; a composition of random, modular synthesiser sounds. Collage art on the back cover by Michael Wurzer and Simone Seng, insert art by Adrian Gormley.
