about

Bottle Episode is a collection of music made over 3 years of experimenting with improvisational composition systems. Each piece was created with unique processes, often starting with acoustic instruments improvising against custom-built machine listening and concatenative synthesis software.

In television a bottle episode is cheaply produced show with a minimal set and few characters, resulting in a confined or claustrophobic atmosphere. This music was created in the era of self-isolation and social distancing with recycled sounds in a home studio.
