LP

Cool deadstock find courtesy of the expert Parisian digger Pierre-Arthur Michau aka PAM—music composed for a 2013 art exhibition exploring the strange ways geography and culture can be evoked by something as intangible as a musical scale. Uncannily coaxed from software instruments, this is nevertheless organic, tactile music, a series of fascinating dioramas to peek inside.

After closing out a recent late-night session with this, it's really hitting home what a strange and cool record it is. Underrated by myself.
