ON FIRE by Brainhack Musicbox

Full-scale russian invasion started exactly a month ago (24.02.2022).
Since any day may become the last here in Ukraine, it’s time to release some tracks recorded during the pandemic and finished just before the war.

This is generative music recorded on a large all-analog eurorack patch with minimal human control.

No sequencers, no drum machines, no keyboards, no composition plan - just irregular beats, floating tempos, harsh timbres, angular melodies and atonal harmonies of analog robot improvisation. And of course, the atmospheres represent current reality in detail.

Despite being synthesized, this material is not supposed to follow the rules of electronic genres - instead, it’s rather closer to improvised music traditions such as free-jazz where the uneven pulse replaces the beat and patterns are never repeated twice in exactly the same way.

All the funds will be donated to the Ukrainian Army.
