released October 12, 2023
This release has been created by taking a few pop tracks tracks that reference technology's influence on humans (and one that doesn't) and using them as the original sound sources for improvisations using Forester 2022 software. Each of the three finished tracks are made from those improvisations with minimal edits to hopefully create a more streamlined listening experience. Headphones absolutely recommended!
Forester is super fun and can be purchased via the link below if you fancy a play with it. Leafcutter John, the creator of the software, describes it as a "unique and inspiring stand-alone modular sonic playground" and I would agree with that description 100%!
