‘Instrumental Tourist’ by Tim Hecker and Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never), is the first chapter of SSTUDIOS(Software Studios Series), a new venture in the Software Recording Co.'s expanding catalogue. SSTUDIOS invites artists in the field of electronic music to create collaborative works of quality and vision. 

With a deliberate focus on source material of a synthetic and mimetic nature, Hecker and Lopatin designed a sound palette from the acoustic resonance of digitally-sourced "Instruments of the World.” The studio meetings between Hecker and Lopatin were conducted to embrace the tropes and techniques of jazz-based improvisation, with little preparation prior.

‘Instrumental Tourist’ finds two artists transcending their respective visions and creating a new musical language.

‘Instrumental Tourist’ is available on 19th November, 2012 in limited vinyl edition as well as CD and digital formats via the Software Recording Co, an imprint of Mexican Summer
