This is a live, semi-improvised ambient IDM album performed entirely on one small eurorack hardware skiff. This is music deliberately created to listen to while you are working away at the rest of your life, whether your heart rate is up or down. But I've also written some notes and recorded the performance video because that's what I personally enjoy; I hope it can be useful to see how the music was made for you.
