Strange Communications EP

The EP was originally released in the Hippocamp.net netlabel in 2005.
Release notes :
"I decided for this EP to create 4 tracks in different styles, steadily progressing in tempo (from 10bpm to 170bpm). Each track was also a test-bed for new VST plugins I am developing. Many of the VSTs are in an early phase of development, and I incorporated the unintended sounds caused by bugs into some of the tracks. On Strange Communication Part 3, I experimented with building realistic sounding acoustic sequences using very primitive samples, for example the entire acoustic guitar part is built from 12 samples of plucked open guitar strings, and a few harmonic plucks (the entire end sequence is made from these harmonics). Strange Communication Part 2 also uses this idea - the faint choral pieces are built from over 50 very brief samples from about 8 choral pieces. These samples were then manipulated and sequenced together to create an entire new choral sequence. Strange Communication Part 4 is a previously untitled track (Untitled15), a demo version of which was played on BBC Radio 1 by Rob Da Bank."
