Exclusive live recordings from the Ars Electronica Klangpark 2001. For this exclusive release Vladislav Delay compiled the best moments of his live recordings during the Klangpark sessions at Ars Electronica festival 2001. #on the basis of the sound material used on his current studio album Anima (Mille Plateaux) Delay transformed the park near the river Danube into an impressive acoustic environment. Music for a river and for passers-by. Out of his home in Helsinki, Finland, Delay has brought forward a new directive into the sounds of dub and minimal electronics, placing him as one of the premier artists involved in the recent wave of electronic dub hybrids. His music, released on labels like Mille Plateaux, Chain Reaction and Sigma, is a continuous mix that reveals itself beyond audio design. Delay succeeds in developing his new methods of production and altering music as it is typically translated. Rather than familiar electronic traits of looping sounds, the music continually develops in an organic flow, thus giving the interpretation that perhaps the music is less a digital excursion and more an instrumental development.
