Tone Science

Ian Boddy has been releasing music for over 35 years yet despite this long musical career he still manages to surprise his listeners and "Tone Science" could represent his most experimental album to date. He has always been fascinated by the random qualities of natural phenomena such as streams, waves, the leaves on a tree or the clouds in the sky. With this thought in mind he set about creating soundscapes using controlled random systems that could self generate themselves using his analogue modular gear. What you hear on these five pieces is the result of these complex interactions. Like the natural phenomena he describes above they appear to stay the same yet they never repeat and each has a distinct mood.
