En la naturaleza pueden notarse patrones que, desde una apreciación rápida, pueden parecer una y otra vez la repetición de lo mismo, pero con una mirada más minuciosa uno puede notar mínimas diferencias, que hacen que nada sea exactamente igual a lo anterior.
La música de este álbum se ve influenciada por este fenómeno, intentando recrear el mismo efecto por medio de sonidos electrónicos y patrones rítmicos minimalistas, partiendo siempre desde la experimentación y con la aleatoriedad como herramienta principal.
Disco compuesto y producido en Berlin, Alemania, entre finales de 2021 y 2022. Utilizando síntesis FM, síntesis granular, samples de audio procesados, secuenciadores aleatorios y varias etapas de saturación.

There are patterns in nature, that from a quick appreciation seem to be just a loop of the same thing over and over again, but with a deeper focus one can notice minimal differences, making nothing be exactly the same as anything else.
The music of this album is influenced by this fenomena, trying to recreate the same effect by means of electronic sounds and minimal rhythmic patterns, with experimentation always as the starting point and randomness as the main tool.
The album was composed and produced in Berlin, Germany, between the end of 2021 and 2022. Using FM synthesis, granular synthesis, processed audio samples, random sequencers and saturation at different levels.
