Nikolaienko - Meta

Meta is a syllabic abbreviation of two words: "Metallophone" and "Tape." Metallophone and tape music by Nikolaienko. "It’s an album where I’ve limited myself to using only two instruments—a metallophone and a four-track tape recorder. Explorations of the metallophone and tape sounds are deconstructed and reintegrated into tracks with cassette loops. This release is part of this year’s Muscut label series, dedicated not to electronic but to electro-acoustic music focusing on analog recording and production."
