v2.5 is the latest full-length release from synnack exploring dark ambient/experimental/drone style that features a unique approach combining analog modular synthesis, custom software plugins written in Max for Live and improvisational techniques. v2.5 is available as 320k MP3 for free from Force of Nature and also as pay-for-download in lossless formats that has an extra track and additional artwork included. Both versions include a remix by dark ambient legends, The [Law-Rah] Collective.

What does it sound like? There are many artists working in a similar "dark ambient" style. You've read the reviews and label blurbs containing cliche phrases about "ambient soundscapes", "ethereal textures", "experimental", and "organic waves of sound".

The easiest way, of course, to get a feel for this release is to download it and listen. The MP3 version is free after all. But to fully appreciate how unique this work is (at least to me) a description of the process used might be helpful. What would happen if music software had no "save" command? What if
