info:
"I decided for this EP to create 4 tracks in different styles,
steadily progressing in tempo (from 10bpm to 170bpm).
Each track was also a test-bed for new VST plugins I am developing.
Many of the VSTs are in an early phase of development, and I
incorporated the unintended sounds caused by bugs into some of the
tracks.
On Strange Communication Part 3, I experimented with building
realistic sounding acoustic sequences using very primitive samples,
for example the entire acoustic guitar part is built from 12 samples
of plucked open guitar strings, and a few harmonic plucks (the entire
end sequence is made from these harmonics).
Strange Communication Part 2 also uses this idea - the faint choral
pieces are built from over 50 vrey brief samples from about 8 choral
pieces. These samples were then manipulated and sequenced together to
create an entire new choral sequence.
Strange Communication Part 4 is a previously untitled track
(Untitled15), a demo version of which was played on BBC Radio 1 by Rob
Da Bank. This version has had a touch of re-editing and re-mastering"
