[Microscopic Sound]
Various Artists cd (mint) 

Microscopic Sound is a collection of experimental 
electronics, pure-tone synthesis and computer-generated sound.
Featuring Thomas Brinkmann, Mike Ink, Ryoji Ikeda and 
new tracks from Kim Cascone and Germany's 
Rastermusic/Noton collective, this compilation delves into 
the more scientific, intellectual elements of electronic 
music. Much of this music is the result of "techno 
maturing". It's still very synthetic and rhymically robotic, 
like German techno, but it's definitely NOT for the 
dancefloor. Instead, this music explores the inner-workings 
of sound and synthesis and often involves the use of 
ultra-modern synthesis techniques - in this case, the latest 
computer software and sound generators. This is 
experimental post-techno, an up-and-coming genre of 
sound, and it is intended for the listener who can appreciate 
its bold sense of exploration, as well as the surreal beauty 
of the world it evokes.

Computations and calculations, alternating current and 
electrical discharge, sine waves and static - these become 
the tools by which this new music is forged. Made up of 
polyrhythms and random, transient frequencies, this music 
is not the latest in electronic music...it's the next.
