"[...] Musician, composer and event organiser Achim Zepezauer has pooled together a network of musicians from across the globe to collaborate with him for his latest work, an online audio project which emulates a slot machine. Pre-recorded instrumentations are randomly selected by the 'machine' on the artist's website to create new compositions. [...]

'Slotmachine is a website that Guida Ribeiro programmed for me', explains Zepezauer. 'It is intended to mix several recordings (of 45 seconds length) by random choice. After building a concept to give it some sense and make it work I invited some of my favourite artists that would fit the project and then compiled some tracks for a vinyl documentation release. But the nice thing about the website is, that it has the ability to grow, so I asked even more friends to join.' [...]"

I played with the Slotmachine for 42 minutes, recorded it in real-time, and uploaded it for your listening pleasure.
