In the cut-throat industry of music criticism, “two hours of randomly generated music” is often used as a euphemism for “ginormous wad of nauseating sonic bile.” However, Michelle Arf has defied this narrow mindedness to produce two hours of randomly generated music that glimmers with airy piano and long Bieber drones (thanks to the indefatigable paul stretch). This surprisingly listenable experiment manages to sound poignant while avoiding the trap of boring old futility, like William Basinski but without all that pesky repetition.
