Kronofage (derived from "chronophage", a time-eater) is a one-off project by Jon 7 that explores the effects of phasic relations between waveforms. This was partially planned and partially accidental, but a completely enjoyable experiment to undertake. A few synthesized waveforms were created and as they were played over themselves at different speeds, certain phase cancellations occurred that removed the signal entirely, and other interactions generated frequencies too high or low to hear but that redlined the VU meters. Check yours: it'll likely display the same.
Granted, though less likely to please the ears than other releases, this "unmusic for the masses" will certainly give your ears and brain a good tickle, and sets the tone for the more experimental sounds that will categorize the negative-numbered releases of the Timetheory catalogue.

Reviewer:bikefridaywalter - - September 1, 2009 Subject: andrew mackenzie look out this minimal experimental recording will appeal to people who like their noise a little quieter or their ambient a little dangerous. the hafler trio, genius as he is, often times seems a wee bit too concept driven to leave any indellible mark but here it seems way more organic, whilst clearly being a digital manipulation driven by a solid approach. in this context, it is unique and recommended.
