Album Notes & Community Reviews

Keith Rankin, co-founder of the highly influential Orange Milk label, crafted an incredibly sterile, hyper-modern collision of classical instrumentation and digital vaporwave. The album heavily manipulates synthetic MIDI strings, staccato cello stabs, and wordless operatic vocals, assembling them into wildly chaotic, glitching symphonies. It is highly regarded as a masterclass in post-internet classical composition and surreal sound design.
