Aphex Twin

Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments Pt2 is Aphex Twin�s eerie, mechanical exploration of robot-played acoustic instruments, released by Warp Records (WAP375). Using automated percussion, prepared pianos and physical actuators controlled by software, Aphex reimagines the boundary between human and machine performance. The EP slides between glitchy, fragmented miniature pieces like snar2 and hat 2b 2012b and more fully developed rhythmic experiments such as diskhat ALL prepared1mixed and disk prep calrec2 barn dance. On vinyl, the natural room resonance and tactile clatter of the instruments become strikingly vivid, creating an uncanny mix of organic timbre and algorithmic precision. A must for collectors of experimental electronica, modern composition and Aphex Twin�s more conceptual side.
