about

"Quartet Automata" is a collection of six minimal ambient generative compositions, following on the heels of 2010's "Photic" release, and the "Gagaku" generative app. On " . . . Automata" each piece was performed using a generative music system with the concept of a music box in mind. "Quartet" refers to the instrumentation--just four instruments/sound generators, whether analog mono synths, treated piano, etc. were used on any given piece.
A big influence on the release is the concept of Erik Satie's "furniture music". This album ideally would be played in the background, just "barely on" . . .
The tracks on this release represent a single captured performance of each composition as it was created live, but generative art is best experienced as it's happening of course. Therefore, a generative desktop app (Mac) of the album is available for download with the link provided in the bonus item PDF.

For fans of Brian Eno, Erik Satie, Philip Glass.
