Most of the tracks on this album are interpretations of classic disco and R'n'B songs. Digitally synthesized, distorted and filtered club-music which goes far beyond its origin. Less abstract and much more dancefloor compatible than the two previous Errorsmith releases, this album is close in spirit to his Smith N Hack and MMM projects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe live sets were played on a laptop with a self-built digital live tool, a combination of a simple sequencer and a synthesizer. Errorsmith uses this tool to manipulate both the rhythmic pattern and the triggered sounds in real time. With a huge degree of freedom in playing his instrument, no two gigs were the same. Initially planned to be released as studio versions, Errorsmith decided to keep the rawness, incompleteness and live feeling of the concert recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1.

Oversimplified beats come to life because they were synthesized in real-time. To achieve this dynamic evolution of sound, Errorsmith developed his own instruments with modular digital synthesis software. The ones he built for Errorsmith 2 integrate the reverb as part of the synthesis model. In fact the reverb dominates the model. Therefore it is an important element of the sound instead of being just an added effect.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe dynamic nature of the tracks result from modulating the reverb parameters instead of the dry sounds that feed the reverb. One moment it sounds like a huge hall then abruptly it turns into a very short echo without any spacial depth. There are no analogies of this concept in reality, for it implies that you are in a room in which the walls are constantly moving, dynamically changing the volume of the hall. It is this concept which gives the record it's artificial ambience or what some have referred to as 'plasticity.'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn some of the tracks like \"Stiff neck\" or \"Free for all\" the sounds evolve over time in a strict and constructed fashion in order to achieve a tension between low and high energy sections. In other tracks the sounds are modulated\/played in realtime during an\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eimprovisation session. The recorded takes are then put onto the record without any further editing. For example, in \"Make or break\" the modulation is used to break the steady beats from time to time. In other tracks like \"Most elastic\" (the name says it all) the sounds change dramatically with only a few constants.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn comparison to the first Errorsmith release the sound has changed a lot. In the first release instead of a reverb, delay lines were modulated. So there was no impression of spacial depth. You could say it sounded like 2D. Now it is 3D !!!!!! Beat-wise, no 4 to the floor stompers are heard on this one. Most of the tracks in the first release were improvisation takes with high density realt-ime modulations. The density is reduced now. So the tracks leave more room and can be mixed with other tracks better.\" - Errorsmith\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e--\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA1.
