Sess-Supastreng
9.01.2005
 
36 minutes of "Quantum Kläng" and superstring sonics to disorient even the most discerning of drone heads. Woozy textures, plaintiff violin plus some new found noise weaponry (example: lissybleed) will launch the knytes through a wormhole near you. This is the first studio output in 2 years released on Commie64's new Kavekavity recordings.

Live_src is a culmination of the Knytes Improv sound colliding with the digital age of DSP studio processing. Redknyte's violins ebb and flow while commie64 stirs up more grain than a tornado. Melodies die and beats break in a dark universe of sweet shifting noise crackle.

self-titled
released Spring 2001
 
Culled from Mikroknytes' best live recordings, textured electronic drones counterpoint processed violin. Fans of Cluster and Tony Conrad will take note. Many of the recordings are improvisations which inspired additional composition elements, added using computer multi-track software.

________________________________
 
Sonorous drones created from violins and analog synths; abstract beat excursions owing as much to Can and Cluster as to IDM. Interestingly extreme both texturally and melodically; this duo wring maximum creativity out of their gear.
 
- Alternative Press 9/2001
 
Analog synths galore! This Washington DC duo mix electronics and violin to make some kraut-friendly (Conrad Schnitzler comes to mind) electro drones, with moments of melody and beats...very nice!

released Fall 1998
 
Recorded at Stillness Studio by Christian Quick, this 3 song EP documents the first collaboration of Commie 64 and Redknyte. Mostly tweaked out casio and processed violin, these compositions captured the improv-live feel of early Mikroknytes shows. Spinus 99 is currently no longer available
