The second release on the Expert Sleepers label, 'Diaries' presents ten pieces created with a modular synthesizer but not with a typical modular synthesizer sound - instead of bleeps and bloops, here you will find pianos and orchestral sounds, perfectly in keeping with the minimalist compositional style.

The album makes heavy use of the disting EX for sample playback and audio looping.

Cassette version available in a limited edition of 100.

Available now exclusively from Bandcamp.
