File under: Electro, Analog synth. Limited Edition of strictly 100 copies - REAL CD (not CDr!)
The Bad Tempered Synthesizer is a retro-futurist homage to an iconic 1969 album by Wendy Carlos, released as a CD with a quite incredible 21cmx21cms 3D cover, limited to 100 copies.
“The Bad Tempered Synthesizer” idea came after seeing the sleeve of the iconic 1969 Wendy Carlos album called "The Well Tempered Synthesizer". I began to think about it and came up with a concept that was both funny and interesting to me: how about making an album where every song would be one semitone and 4 bpm less than the previous one?
That meant starting from C at 92 bpm and finishing at C# nearly one octave lower and at 48 bpm...Intriguing, no? The resulting album features 12 tracks, all original except the latest one - but let's not spoil the ending :)
Noone ‘less’ than Daniel Miller (from Mute Records) has penned the sleeve notes to this Extremely special (and limited!) release!
