| Ideas of the Far Future started as a collection of generative patches built using Max For Live and Eurorack modular synths to be used as background music for sleeping, studying and reading. | ||
| This origin acted as a filter for ideas to narrow the focus to music that contains a quiet calmness, interesting but without a sense of intrusion. | ||
