This triple disc release documents Stefan Goldmann's earliest electroacoustic
works. These clear-cut algorithmic compositions, mostly created between 1999 and
2001, were built entirely with the TC Fireworx processor's internal synthesizer and
effects. Generated and recorded anew for this release with the original programs, a
central component of Stefan Goldmann's sound aesthetic is revisited and becomes
available in pure form for the first time. His proprietary Fireworx algorithms feature
prominently in a multitude of tracks and long-form works, including Phraselab
(2005), De-Gauss (2015), Voices of the Dead (2008) and Live at Honen-In Temple
(2012).

The automated synthesis and effects chains utilize a few layered basic functions to
drive kaleidoscopic sound environments which are simultaneously stable while
constantly changing: Electric rivers of sound flowing continuously through the same
bed, while never repeating themselves quite exactly.
