Al Goranski's "Stochastic Miniatures, Vol. IX" is a captivating addition to his ongoing series of experimental soundscapes. Released on December 17, 2023, under his self-titled label, this album is a brief yet intense journey through 12 distinct compositions, each titled "Pentaphonus" and keyed to a different note in the chromatic scale. Clocking in at just 18 minutes, the album is a testament to Al Goranski's ability to create intricate, immersive sound worlds in a short span of time. The tracks are characterized by their stochastic nature, meaning they are generated using mathematical principles of randomness, resulting in a unique blend of structured chaos. Fans of Goranski's previous volumes, such as the recently released "Stochastic Miniatures Volume X" and "Volume XI," will find this installment a worthy addition to their collection. Whether you're a long-time follower of Goranski's work or a newcomer to his unique sonic universe, "Stochastic Miniatures, Vol. IX" offers a fresh and engaging listening experience.
