SYNERGY - Reconstructed Artifacts (CD)
“Reconstructed Artifacts” is a collection of recordings made in January and February, 2002 of classic, older Synergy pieces from the 1970s and 1980s, newly performed on digital synthesizers and recorded digitally. These are completely new recordings and performances, not repackaging or remasterings of the decades-old recordings.
This collection was a byproduct of preparations for a 2002 live Synergy appearance at the Alfa-Centauri Electronic Music Festival in the Netherlands. The anthology album was recorded at the Synergy Studio in the weeks before the festival.
The sound of the recording is more “present” than the originals because a scrim of hiss and non-linearity that analog tape imparts has been eliminated. The richness of the newer instrument voices makes some of the old patches sound primitive. The production consciously adheres to the general style and feel of the original recording of each piece without major re-arrangements.
All pieces on the album were composed by Larry Fast.
