One more thing to add about the recent thread about Rastermusic artist Frank Bretschneider aka Komet. He has a new cd forthcoming on Mille Plateaux called "Rand." The description of "Rand" is an evolutionary music built on spatial metamorphic rhythm patterns, tinkling synthetics, high frequency clicks, whirrs and machine grinding. 20 tracks of the album are the result of a computer based, modulated synthesizer system. There is no difference between sound and composition anymore. One sound may represent the whole track. Tracks are not created by classic sequencer technology, but all movements, series of sounds, and orders of tones are the result of unorthodox connected Synthesizer modules (LFO`s, oscillators, filters, amplification). Developed sound-events, which are mostly chaotic and accidental, are brought into 'form' by special controllers. The result is minimal, often sketchy tracks, which are more constructed than improvised and are most often finished after the idea of the track is crystallized. Fragments of minimal structure are added slowly and carefully, sometimes taken out and then put back in after further thought. Other beat fragments seem lost and out-of-place, until low frequency clicks are locked in. Even if the albumi s contemporary electronic music, it is still inspired by the idea of new and experimental pop music.
