Reiger Records Reeks is excited to kick off the new year with the release of a 5-CD box set dedicated to Roland Kayn’s Cybernetic Music. Sourced from the original recordings preserved in the Lydia and Roland Kayn Archive and meticulously remastered by Jim O’Rourke, this collection is an essential addition to any catalog. The box set features selections from Kayn’s legendary works, including Makro I, II, III (1977) – Created at the Institute for Sonology, and Elektroakustische Projekte (1966–1975) – Featuring Cybernetic I, II, III, recorded at the Studio di Fonologia in Milan alongside the additional compositions Entropy PE31, Monades, and Eon. Previously available only on rare, out-of-print vinyl editions, these groundbreaking works showcase Kayn's pioneering contributions to electronic and cybernetic music.
Roland Kayn poetically described Makro (1977) during an interview with Mark van de Voort: “Makro breathes in and breathes out, then it breathes in again before disappearing into the dark.” This imagery emphasizes the delicate balance and subtle transition through which the piece unfolds and eventually fades. The idea of the music “disappearing into the dark” suggests a soft, elusive conclusion, as if the sounds gradually dissolve into a space where they can no longer be heard, but still linger in some way.
This description also synthesizes the mystical and organic qualities of the piece: the music doesn’t end abruptly, but transitions smoothly into silence, like a clear picture gradually turning into shadow. Kayn’s reflection that he was never able to fully recapture this unique quality in his later works shows how Makro – a composition where sound, process, and silence merge in a single entity – was a special creature for him.
