A container of all the knowledge about the universe. The motion of the
gears deeply intertwine a link between micro- and macrocosm. A mechanism
that simulates cosmology and senses characteristics of an eclipse, with
color, size and associated winds.
Define a question, and there will be a calculated answer, even capable
of astral divination. Is it an all-seeing eye, or perhaps something
beyond even that; a magic entity capable of creating the cosmic events
that it is supposed to measure and foretell.
If so, is it by nature auspicious or ominous. Or is it merely a
representation and extension of ourselves and our senses, trying to
reach both the celestial and the intrinsically unobtainable.
Winter-Light warmly welcomes Peter Andersson to our label, with his
'Atomine Elektrine' project and a stunning new studio album 'The
Antikythera Mechanism'.
Here we are invited or compelled even, to delve deep into the
intricacies and finely tuned mechanics of this mysterious,
all-encompassing machine.
Infinitely extending it's influence across multi-dimensions
of time and space, constantly calculating, cogs ever turning, gears whirring, mapping, learning, storing and moving ever onwards. Leaving in it's wake, a vast ocean of unimaginable cosmic events, left to ripple through time until they too fade away to become yet another click in the eternal cycle of 'The Antikythera Mechanism'.
Difference between the CD/Digital and vinyl version
'The Antikythera Mechanism' has a small degree of randomness built-in to the sounds which means that the output of each rendering becomes slightly different. The tracks on the vinyl are of a different rendering than the tracks for the CD/Digital version. This is a natural glitch in 'The Antikythera Mechanism' and it is more or less noticeable.
The sounds are the same but the positions in the sounds are time offset in an arbitrary mode. Any further inequalities are due to the fact that a different mastering technique has been utilised for the vinyl version, than for the CD/Digital version.
