Break Rotations by Roland Kayn

From its opening moments, which resemble nothing less than a pitched-up cartoon-like parody of conversation, ‘Break Rotations’ addresses and frustrates our need for communication. Built seemingly of the sounds of transmitted data – the analog refuse of the computer modem – the piece recycles, magnifies, and interrogates our collective urge for individual expression. As the distorted segments ebb in and out of audibility, cycles of suspense gradually define themselves. In the waves of our collective subconscious, no resolution is heard.

"The mystery, the grace, the boundless invention – Kayn’s machine music is a vast catalogue of very human wonder." -The Guardian
