Clip from album cover

A co-worker introduced this to me late last week and I’ve been totally fascinated with the concept and the music.

Music for Dieter Rams by Jon Brooks is (From the sleevenotes) a mini-album. A study on limited resources. The space between a second. A dedication to one of the most important figures in modern domestic design – Dieter Rams. No more, no less. Less and More.

Every sound on this record, from the melodic sounds to the percussion, the atmospheric effects to the bass lines originates from the Braun AB-30 alarm clock.

You can give the album a listen to here. It’s also available for purchase on iTunes.

Also, if you want to purchase the aforementioned alarm clock, you can find it here (among many other places).
