Preset Region E.P.
I went on holiday to Austria in early summer 2009 and took a camcorder along. When I got back and edited the footage, I ended up needing about 15 minutes of backing music. To produce the soundtrack as quickly as possible I made heavy use of layered Ultrabeat presets - a quick way to get some decent sounding results, but lacking the unique character of compositions arising from more time consuming work!
All the same, despite all those presets and the intentional repetitive nature of the music - it's supposed to go in the background after all - I quite liked the tracks in the end and that's why they've been released. As for the video - you can watch that on Vimeo.
