about

"Riveting modular synth music built from repeating and non-repeating patterns, In Succession is a beautiful, kaleidoscopic work." - Bandcamp New and Notable

Following recent releases for Elli Records (auto-mátiqa and Eight Variations), In Succession presents a new set of focused algorithmic sequences, using an even more reduced sound set to navigate a series of near-static movements.

The initial few minutes introduce the key elements; an FM organ drone, a snaking melodic line and a rolling pulse of sharp digital percussion. These remain present almost throughout, each section which follows at once magnifying and branching off from some aspect of what came before.

In Succession forgoes gradual change in favour of more abrupt transitions which arrive without warning, re-jigging the patterns and zeroing in on the sounds from different angles. The half hour of music which emerges feels like a journey, even if not intentionally so.
