what's in a name?



another fun release from Sven Rånlund

release rationale:

Jump for Kraut! After listening to krautrock music more than probably is healty, I decided to somewhat liberate myself through a long session using only eurorack modular synth. Inspired not by the musics, but rather the band names.
Welcome to my "Krautrock A-Z": 26 improvised tracks, each about 1 minute long. Every recording started with a short meditation on the particular band name. When I've got an idea, I set up a patch that somehow reflected the band name and played and recorded in a rush. Wicked as it may be, but I came to think about Bach's Goldberg variations... These are my varied exercises, ruff'n'ready. No overdubs, no edits.
