about

Evolving out of a ten year friendship, spanning their involvement in the label and collective Not Applicable, and catalysed by a UK tour of Graphic Scores in 2013 (featuring Joanna MacGregor and Ollie Coates among others), ‘Vaucanson’s Muse’ is a seminal document of the collision between improvised acoustic and electronic music in the hands of two of the most eloquent practitioners in their fields.

Set alongside specially commissioned artwork by maverick architect Will Alsop and liner notes by esteemed musician and author David Toop, the LP as a whole consolidates themes hinted at in the music of unknown worlds constructed through symbolic and geometric abandon.
