Press

“Ylla Redux, the Kansas City Electro-Music project CD, has currently taken Slate's attention away from "Extinction." Ylla Redux is inspired by Slate's rig that is centered on a Korg Kaossilator and a Sonuus G2M. The pair create new sonic textures from the sounds of nature, the Kaossilator, vocals and pitch-to-MIDI feedback loops. The story being scored is the romance between Ylla and Phileas Fogg on the Mars of the Goddesses Cycle.”
