Tech Neck by Scott F. Hamrick

This album came about while recording Sadassa Silvia's second album, Embrace. While learning how to create sequences on my new Korg Minilogue, I recorded a few that I liked but which had no place on the album. I was listening to a lot of Conrad Schnitzler at that time, particularly his Consequenz album, and I realized there was a place for an album composed almost entirely out of synth sequences.

I also recorded some other material that was more in line with the kosmische musik and Berlin School aesthetics of early Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, etc. This album collects some of these recordings and oscillates (no pun intended) between severe sequencer experiments and dreamy, otherworldly works. Both rely on and revel in the hypnotic allure of repetition with subtle modulation to which sequenced electronic music so readily lends itself. I hope Tech Neck connects with people who enjoy both styles of music. Thanks for listening. – SFH
