Andrew Arnold: Tranquillity


My first solo release. This is an experimental noise album. Rather than taking the layering and sampling approach on the Music for... tapes, I have used a single audio source for this album: in this case, episode S01E02 of Futurama (slowed down considerably).

Sorry this is a week late... I... forgot?
