The Bunker Podcast 23 features Cristian Vogel recorded live at The Bunker in Brooklyn on May 30, 2008 in a one hour improvisation using his Neverengine design and other Kyma Sounds. Everything is about live choices in this set (there are no sequences or presets), and it's exciting to hear how Vogel occasionally throws the whole thing into chaos and then reins it back into a more conventional groove. Listen also for the metric modulations and the smooth morphs between musical spaces where the changes along each parameter are so smooth, it feels like an optical illusion in time and acoustic space.

According to Cristian, "The sound quality is something that I have to refine all the time, because there are so few sound elements that it has to sound absolutely high-quality when it comes out of the generating algorithms. But Kyma makes that part easy, because it sounds so good loud!" So hook up your large speakers, turn up the volume, and have a listen!
