Intelligent dance music (commonly abbreviated as IDM) is a style of electronic music originating in the early 1990s, defined by idiosyncratic experimentation rather than specific genre constraints. It emerged from the culture and sound palette of electronic and rave music styles such as ambient techno, acid house, Detroit techno and breakbeat; it has been regarded as better suited to home listening than dancing. Prominent artists associated with it include Aphex Twin, Autechre, Squarepusher, Venetian Snares, Boards of Canada, Telefon Tel Aviv, μ-Ziq, the Black Dog, the Future Sound of London, and Luke Vibert.

Okay, poking the back catalogue... An album like every two weeks. That's pretty much not humanly possible without using procedural generation. So I'm beginning to suspect this is the case. But it is also really good, so I'm confounded.

Wow, this album is fantastic. Hardly IDM but I'm not complaining. A real love for tubular bells eh.

I'm giving it a second listen tonight. Might go in the purchase list.

I actually posted this because it's new Aleksi and I'm a fan of his Astrobotnia work and Project V. I didn't notice how often he was releasing new albums until after I made the post and then figured maybe I shouldn't have posted it lol. But I'm glad you like it!

It might be partially automated generation like you said, maybe some fractal type thing, like some custom software with L-System strings https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-system
