Love your shit! Track 1-5 are all awesome, but strange enough track 6 is really weird :).

Fuck yeah! Forward thinking. Progression. Ganglia exercises. We are good ;)

"Me So Unhappy" and "Social Suicide" are my favs.
Process decription or STFU ;)

Random composing is teh shit, though I do seldom go as far as you. Yet some of my best dark dnb acid basslines were done with random generator in jeskola buzz ;)

MANY thanks for the feedback! practically, you were the first to hear this shit :)
process description? quite simple. throughout the years of being in the studio, i had accumulated a fine number of instrumental and vocal recordings. i just cut them into small pieces (95% were single chords, single sounds and single hits only, 100% were single tracks - not mixes) and rearranged them completely.
in order to be ignorant, instinctive and unconscious - i had been picking them totally at random (fortunately, i own no perfect pitch). if they didn't fit, well, transposition and timestretching algorithms helped (or, more often, they did not).
finally, all the crossfading, equalizing, compressing, transient modulating, effect plugging, mastering and so on happened. i guess it's not that original way of working, but god was it refreshing.
number of samples used in each tune is approximately 150-200.
i'm working on some promotional stuff for the whole thing, but that is yet to come ;)

I'm just sorry that remixing does not fit into the whole concept :(

Gratz on the release, Randall! Nice work!

Are you familiar with Akufen? You might like his album "My Way" (2002), which also has this crazy amount of 'micro-samples'..

Anyway, big up -- the promomix sounds exciting :)

And randomization is always interesting :) How exactly did you use this? Clicking on samples while blindfolded? And/or also random MIDI-notes?

(Still want to do a composition with dice some day btw... arggh, so many plans, so little time...)
