2013’s Man in the Mira was the first ep recorded as PK Flyer. The songs were written atop the audio output from a musical iphone game called Musyc. I was interested in seeing the musical material removed from the “found sounds” that governed the song structure, and arranged them for string quartet. I wanted to confirm that the music stood on it’s own and I was glad to see that it did. I think of it as the final step in the process - as opposed to a remix.
