Deru Rhythm Tapes - Laser

Acclaimed electronic composer Deru (aka Benjamin Wynn) returns with rhythm tapes - a return to drums and rhythms for the composer after a decade of compositional ambient music. It's an onslaught of non-metric, morphing rhythms reminiscent of his early hiphop and IDM influences, yet mixed with avant-garde sequencing techniques. Presented as one long mixtape, the songs deconstruct and morph into one another. Limited edition laser-Etched Vinyl, made in collaboration with Michael Cina and Onyx Records Press. Instead of paper labels, both sides of the vinyl are laser-etched with shapes derived directly from the sequencer used to create the music. These patterns are what drove the music.
