Ben Zimmerman – The Baltika Years – 2LP

Software

Ben Zimmerman‘s “The Baltika Years” is a collection of recordings created between 1992 and 2002 mostly using a Tandy DeskMate computer.

In many ways, “The Baltika Years” embodies the spirit of Software. It articulates a belief that idiosyncrasy is inevitable, and that human affect and technology are linked. One helps the other express something mysterious about the world.

Via limiting himself to one very specific instrument, Ben realized his own style — a monochromatic computer music that glows with the intimacy found in life’s barely audible sentiments and details.
