As visually striking as it is audibly, with the cassette wrapped in a custom design from artist Zin Taylor. Limited run of total 150 copies!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes from the label - \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCircuits reveal a curious syntax on “OASY”, where Stefan Schneider unravels the irregular regularities of machines. Under his intuition, diverging rhythms coalesce under a cohesive cadence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSynthesized thought-loops emerge from a random access memory, appearing in various forms from jittery blips and rumbling haptics to whirring drones. His approach draws from cities such as Lisbon, Accra, and Osaka, where sonic streams come all at once from unpredictable directions. The polyrhythms coursing throughout this record likewise evoke a flurry of activity, animated and wholly alive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRarely following a premeditated course of action, Stefan senses out frequencies by exploring the possibilities and limits of hardware synthesizers. An intentional improvisation underpins his method as a self-taught musician and sound engineer: “Nowadays, it is quite difficult or even obsolete to separate composing, playing, recording, and mixing from one another, as they are all part of a consistent but non-linear process.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe eight tracks on this record are each units unto themselves, flickering in a self-generated Morse code. Some are laid under an austere fluorescent light, while others are warmly wrapped in a dense tangle of cables and wires serving as conduits. As if we\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eare observing a schematic being deftly drafted, “OASY” reverse engineers speculative machines through sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy design, the industrial and incidental become exquisitely intertwined. Stefan magnifies the fractals hidden in mechanical sequences, where disparate patterns find resonant frequencies. Before order cements itself, “OASY” offers a fleeting mind space—a moment to find speculation in perception.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you like this, why not check out our other offerings from the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/objects-and-sounds\"\u003eObjects \u0026amp; Sounds\u003c\/a\u003e imprint, as well as our new \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/experimental\"\u003eexperimental music\u003c\/a\u003e releases. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Object \u0026 Sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53691202011482,"sku":"OS002","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/8117\/5130\/files\/OASYbyStefanSchneiderMonti.jpg?v=1772114983","url":"https:\/\/kaninhalrecords.com\/products\/stefan-schneider-monti-oasy","provider":"KANINHÅL RECORDS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
