Symbolism I wouldn't have thought it possible, but somehow I can understand what I think are signals that machines use to communicate with eachother. Very brain tingling.

Rangefinder EPs 1/2/3 3xCD-R Test Print Set (Only 1x Available)
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
A special one-off copy of the Rangefinder set, as they were originally drafted to look a couple months prior to their release. By comparison, these versions come in plain white jackets with no photo inserts, and the BIKE logo on each disc face is hand-stamped instead of inkjet printed. This design was abandoned out of impatience alone, waiting for ink to dry. A neat artifact for the Bike collector, comes optionally signed.

about

The first of three new BIKE EPs in a triptych micro-series called RANGEFINDER. These tracks have been created live with very little post-processing, using a custom built modular synthesizer rig and a single Korg analog drum machine. RANGEFINDER sees/hears BIKE reapproaching the format of a serialized release schedule, in a post-Facks Tracks landscape that accumulates all of the textural mutations and technoid design work that came before, and translates it through new machines, new designs, new structures waiting to be imagined or built. Influenced by Autechre's live recordings as well as Pan Sonic, Omit and other perennial shadows cast, BIKE continues to explore the liminal space between MILIEU albums and the COPPICE HALIFAX DEEP EARTH series recordings.
