    Fake Fish Distribution - version 500 sampler 

    An IDM album created by Icarus, limited to 1000 copies. What is interesting is that each copy of the album will be a ‘unique’ version - using generative programming techniques each copy will have a different compositional structure on it’s tracks.

    Icarus’ album, Fake Fish Distribution (FFD), uses generative and parametric software techniques to create 1000 unique records. FFD comes in the form of a vast array of structured variations on the album’s musical content, feeding unique versions to each unique listener.

    The album is available as a limited edition, via the normal medium of music distribution — the media file download — with each of the 1000 versions only being sold once and in sequential order. Upon purchase, you become the owner of that unique version.

    The above audio file is a sampler of the tracks. More information can be found at Icarus’ website here
