These are all experimental electronic collaboration tracks from a few well-known people and other not-so-well-known people. I did a bit of research to find out the names of these people since they’re damn near impossible to read on the inside booklet. Here are some descriptions.

1 Safety Scissors + Team Doyobi
Stuttering beat with droning synth blips.

2 Errorsmith + Opopop
Cacophonous static feedback fading in and out. Real fucked up.

3 Discom + Joel Ongthorne
Pops, clicks, synth screams, warbling blurbs, electric saw sounds.

4 Jliat + Vger
Synthetic voice simulation about math, fast stuttery beat in the background.

5 Needle + Thomas Dimuzio
Very quiet compared to the others; slight static, electric storm sounds.

6 Beige + Mainpal
Sounds like a house track that’s been completely deconstructed and fucked up. Nice groove overshadowed by high-pitched electronic synth phasing in and out.

7 Francisco Lopez + Kevin Drumm
Sounds like marbles falling and crinkling aluminum foil being smashed against something.

8 Felix Kubin + Plan + Wechsel Garland
Like a blend of numbers 6 and 7.

9 Pimmon + Venoz TKS
Ambient-sounding.

10 Time’s Up + Wobbly
Grating, hollow synth drone and motorcycle-sounding blips.
