The second album from Harlequin Djinn, Ectopic Beats is a collection of self-generative compositions varying in synesthetic flavor and degrees of randomness. It is also the wordless account of a psychosomatic journey.
Use for audible pleasure or to aid in rest, relaxation, meditation, and contemplation.
Available in 06:00 (blue album) and 12:00 (red album) minute cycles.
Eurorack format synthesizer modules were the primary tools of production and acted as a source of inspiration in the process of synthesis. Each recording is a single take. Apart from fade in/out applications, no post-production was performed on this record.
