Only the pre-released single "Plastic Star" was created in sunny Athens. The album contains the original session version of "Plastic Star".
The music of "Death of a Typographer" carries the special sound of Raster-Noton - but it is different: the tracks act as focal points, as elegy of a latently flowing stream, a stream that still moves on even when the music has long faded away. The tracks do not necessarily move forward, they rather open up a dark abyss which seems deepest in "Capture This" parts I and II. Byetone manages to achieve a remarkable metamorphosis of the organic, the tracks don't reveal any of the elements of conventional composition techniques but somehow they seem to show through the static sound body. With "Heart" Byetone finishes the album in a very dark manner. Isn't there any hope? Not in Berlin winter.
"Death of a Typographer" poses us riddles, even the title reminds of Peter Greenaway's "The Draughsman's Contract". For the vigilant spectator the ambiguous artwork will reveal the "Death of a Typographer".
"Death of a Typographer" is available as SD card as well.
