Description

Instrumental Tourist, by Tim Hecker and Daniel Lopatin (a.k.a Oneohtrix Point Never), is the first chapter of SSTUDIOS (Software Studios Series), a new venture in the Software Recording Co.s expanding catalogue. SSTUDIOS invites artists in the field of electronic music to create collaborative works of quality and vision.

With a deliberate focus on source material of a synthetic and mimetic nature, Hecker and Lopatin designed a sound palette from the acoustic resonance of digitally-sourced Instruments of the World. The studio meetings between Hecker and Lopatin were conducted to embrace the tropes and techniques of jazz-based improvisation, with little preparation prior.

Instrumental Tourist finds these two artists transcending their respective visions and creating a new musical language.
