A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY

Here are a couple more fascinating artists! The Institut Für Feinmotorik have a handful of music releases. They make their songs using multiple record players that amplify the sounds from no records at all, and instead the sounds of sandpaper, white noise, thumping rubber bands and other such experimental source material are picked up through the needle and tonearm of the "empty" turntables.
The other admirable umlauted artist is Zoë Keating. Zoë's current releases feature her exceptional cello playing fed into a computer that allows a phrase of music to repeat itself which then allows a new layer to seamlessly be added on top- and so on. Eventually a full string section is breathing beneath up to sixteen layers of musical phrases.
