Wayne McGregor, founder of Random Dance Company and resident choreographer at the Royal Ballet, chose to play the album repeatedly during practices with his core group of dancers. After noticing the group's reaction with the music, he contacted Adam and Dustin to see if they could write the score for his new oeuvre. The duo were given complete artistic freedom and they treated the score with the same care and attention as their debut album. They recorded more than sixty minutes of music over a four-month period during the summer of 2013 across studios in Brussels, Berlin and Reykjavik, with the help of their long time collaborative sound engineer Francesco Donadello. During the recording process they realised, that this would become their official second studio album. McGregor provided them with the inspiration to expand their sound palette into more electronic territory, whilst keeping their signature chamber sound, resulting in a very unique record. “As a wise man once said, one who procrastinates their own choosing will inevitably have their choice served to them by circumstance. We had virtually no time for second guessing ourselves. That being said, we tried to balance the discordance between being creative, and fulfilling our duties for a commissioned soundtrack with a very strict deadline, and all the while staying true to our collective melancholy.‘’ – Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie “We never imagined 2013 would be such an explosively creative year. The first record took us two years from start to finish, but in the micro span of time over last summer we were able to change the formula for the way we write, record, and let go. It was incredibly liberating.” – Dustin O’Halloran OFFICIAL WEBSITES: awvfts.com · erasedtapes.com · kranky.net Genre Contemporary Classical Comment by ash i want 2 run from everything ive known i want everything thats known me to forget 2021-09-12T04:53:25Z Comment by Peter The music that you create is nothing short of magic 2020-07-06T20:53:41Z Comment by Panteleev Immunity 2020-05-23T17:36:16Z Comment by Raphael Griffo amazing sound. 2019-05-02T07:45:35Z Comment by Southforce sounds really good! 2019-04-13T20:00:01Z Comment by MA-NV Love the track, the harmonies and timings are on spot!

A great piece. Very cinematic. In fact, it reminds of John Carpenter's music only with a more orchestral element in it. Like it a lot.

Then Atomos came and I knew I hadn't loved them enough. Thank you for teaching me how to make music, guys. Brazilian hugs. <3 2015-05-10T03:04:12Z
