With nothing pre-planned or rehearsed, each of the nine tracks were recorded using\u00a0four\u00a0channels (two\u00a0each) with no overdubs. Explaining that\u00a0\u201cOur practice is more abstract than thematic. Every time we meet, we attempt a fresh start\u201d\u00a0the Miller and Jones arrived to each recording session\u00a0with the spirit, energy and discipline of improvisation and recorded the tracks as live performances, with very little post-production work done once the tracks are recorded.<\/p>\n One exception is on \u2018Ensnare\u2019. The original, where glassy percussion works alongside submerged rhythmic beats, has been given two separate remixes by Daniel Miller and Gareth Jones, allowing listeners a glimpse into their very different but intrinsically intertwined processes. <\/p>\n Daniel Miller and Gareth Jones have\u00a0been collaborating for four decades. Although neither dwell on their past work, preferring to constantly explore new ways to create, Miller and Mute\u2019s legacy is given a nod on \u2018Splendid\u2019 which opens with the distinct hiss of analogue tape over a rhythmic heart beat before oscillators burst and collide. This track was recorded using the original 4-track TEAC that Miller picked up second hand in the late 70s and used to record The Normal\u2019s\u00a0Warm Leatherette\u00a07\u201d.<\/p>\n Daniel Miller and Gareth Jones\u2019 collaboration began in 1982 when Miller asked Jones to work with him on what became Depeche Mode\u2019s\u00a0Construction Time Again. After Depeche Mode had gone home for the day, the two would stay on to work on their own sessions, a practise that continues to this day. By the mid-nineties Sunroof had become a remix project, reworking the likes of Can, MGMT,\u00a0To Rococo Rot, Kreidler and Goldfrapp, amongst others, and their first recordings appeared on a compilation paying tribute to\u00a0Neu!<\/p>\n In 2019, Miller and Jones were heading to a Gy\u00f6rgy Ligeti concert at the Barbican and beforehand the pair spent a couple of hours improvising with modular systems. Unusually, this time they decided to record the session and over a pre-concert meal, Gareth asked, \u201cAre we actually going to make a record together before we die?\u201d<\/p>\n The resulting album,\u00a0Electronic Music Improvisations Volume 1\u00a0(2021)\u00a0was followed by Electronic Music Improvisations Volume 2\u00a0(2023),\u00a0and since 2021, Sunroof have been performing select live shows \u2013 at venues such as Caf\u00e9 OTO (London), the London School of Economics,\u00a0the Museum of Modern Electronic Music Frankfurt,\u00a0Silent Green in Berlin, Ombra Festival (Barcelona), Oslo Cathedral, Golden Pudel (Hamburg), DG Kunstraum (Munich),\u00a0and IKLECTIK (London) \u2013 allowing their live performance to feed back into their recordings. Some of these recordings were released last year as a\u00a0Bandcamp exclusive, Electronic Music Improvisations Live in London and Frankfurt (see recommendations).<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Snippets:<\/span>
