Having released “two of the most beguiling electronic albums of recent years,” (The Wire), the Canadian artist returns with the third volume of his homage to early algorithmic music software

Lauded by The Wire as having made “two of the most beguiling electronic albums of recent years,” and described by The Guardian as “something of a virtual one-man Radiophonic Workshop from Vancouver”, Kristen Roos returns with a third volume of his Universal Synthesizer Interface series, to be released November 22nd. Paying homage to the first wave of 1980s algorithmic music software, this time his focus is on Intelligent Music Software founded by Joel Chadabe in 1984, focusing exclusively on one of their more obscure creations – UpBeat: The Intelligent Rhythm Sequencer, released in 1987, and hailed by reviewers of the time as “ the world’s best drum machine.”
