OFFCUTS #1 by Modern railways
offcut
/ˈɒfkʌt/
nounBRITISH
plural noun: offcuts
“a piece of waste material that is left behind after cutting a larger piece.”
The OFFCUTS series is the MODERN RAILWAYS’ scrapyard of the creative process. The tracks included in this series languish on the cutting room floor until they find a sonic home amongst their cast-off companions. So, they’re basically scrap. Enjoy.

Traversing the digital tracks between Manchester and Sheffield, "Modern railways" construct sonic missives from electronically manipulated bass tracks to consider structure, form, and decay. Or something.
