Modified Toy OrchestraMTO rescue children’s electronic toys and convert them into strange new instruments, they find new connections hidden within each circuit and reveal new sounds exposing the surplus value of redundant technology.Silfurberg, released 21 October 20221.

Into The BulkLimited CD edition available from the Bit-Phalanx Store: https://bitphalanx.bandcamp.com/album/silfurberg(Deluxe all-red Polycarbonate CD in vintage CD-Rom caddy, housed in bespoke O-Card sleeve with 12 page booklet, in stickered sealed mylar bag)._Modified Toy Orchestra - Silfurberg.(BITP028DL - Bit-Phalanx Music)_With their third full-length release 'Silfurberg', MTO continue their exploration of modified toys. Focusing on the untapped potential of small toy Casio keyboards, the new project takes them into darker territory than previous releases 'Toygopop' and 'Plastic Planet' - embarking on a transcendental voyage outwards from the first stellar navigation aide (the Viking sunstone known as "Silfurberg") through empty cosmological vistas and ultimately journeying ever outwards into the sublime, higher dimensional 'Bulk'.From Gustav Holst to modern electronic 'Space Concept' artists like Matsuo Ohno, Vangelis and Guilano Sorgini, composers have attempted to explore the cosmos with sound and create listening experiences which guide us off-world into vast, alien territories. With Silfurberg, the group leave behind the triumphal brass fanfares and discover ominous, brooding textures, dissonant string clusters and glitching/pulsating rhythms which conjure the claustrophobia of outer space - contrasting the longing to feel the Earth's gravity, with moments of glittering, tranquil calm.With the new toys forging a more minimalist approach, revealing deeper untapped potential, curiosity for the unknown and the unheard remains a fundamental motivation and inspiration for MTO.- Fliss Kitson, August 2022.
