More Info New work from the great Austrian trio – working with standard instruments but in a very experimental & hypnotic way..... intense stuff again ! "The bulk of preparation for both the electronica and standard instrumentation on Juxtaposition took place in Radian's Vienna studio. The band first collected and created sounds of different sources -- mostly instruments like drums, bass, guitar vibraphone, and marimbaphone. They then recorded these instruments in unusual ways, like 'microrecording' the sound sources through synthesizer patches. Next Radian carefully arranged these electronics to work within their performances on live instruments of drums, bass and synthesizers. Finally Radian brought their complete electronic arrangement to Chicago's Soma studios where John McEntire recorded the drums and bass. These parts were added to the electronics according to Radian's arrangements. A painstaking and time consuming process, but one that offers the listener many rewards."[press release]
