shuttle358 "optimal.lp" is the much-anticipated debut release from californian dan abrams, and the first release in a series of artists featured on 12k's ".aiff" compilation.

dan's music is a self-replicating ecosystem that grows and unfolds with the movement of sonic particles and binary rhythm. "optimal.lp" plays on the juxtaposition of ambient drones and delicate melodies with layers of digital static, lo-fi rumblings, and distressed microscopic sounds. this contrast in elements makes "optimal.lp" a very engaging and sophisticated body of work; tense, jarring, and oddly soothing.
