Album Notes & Community Reviews

Known for his hyper-kinetic drumming in extreme metal band Liturgy, the percussionist utilizes specialized sensory equipment to translate his physical drumming directly into MIDI synthesizer sequences. The resulting album acts as an intense, improvisational dialogue between man and machine, blurring the lines between acoustic free jazz and chaotic electronic abstraction.
