Described as a composer dedicated to cybernetic music and machine-driven composition; the reviewed album was curated posthumously by Jim O'Rourke. The review also notes an association with Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza.

Roland Kayn is presented as a composer of cybernetic, long-form electronic music. The reviewed album, A Little Electronic Milky Way of Sound, is a 14-hour, posthumous release curated by Jim O'Rourke. The work is described as machine-driven, formless, and unsettling with cosmic/Lovecraftian imagery. It is praised for ambition but called unapproachable.

For:Fans of experimental, electroacoustic, algorithmic and long-form electronic music; adventurous listeners comfortable with challenging, non-melodic sound art.

 

Roland Kayn, a composer dedicated to creating cybernetic music, a man with the goal of becoming less and less instrumental in the creation of his music, thus granting his machines such freedom that even perceiving a method, a formula within the machine itself becomes impossible.
