Phonophani - Genetic Engineering

The second album from Phonophani, aka Espen Sommer Eide (Alog), his first from 1998 so far being the only release on Biosphere's Biophon label. Phonophani's work is characterized by various manipulated 'live instruments' seamlessly integrated with pure electronic sounds. Espen will not admit to this being a concept album, but says of the title that 'sampling is a form of gene manipulation where you arrange and rearrange sound parts from your own playing and the works of others to create new organisms of sound'. Rune Grammofone. 2003.
