   About Micronaut
New From Micronaut
Callisto
Callisto marks Chris Randall's fifth genre-spanning sojourn in to the back streets of electronic music under the Micronaut banner. Mostly up-tempo, partially eccentric, and definitely danceable, Callisto is a distilled history of Micronaut in one album.

Micronaut Releases
Pasiphae
Pasiphae features seven new IDM-influenced ass-shakers from Micronaut. Borrowing liberally from both the IDM and house genres, Pasiphae is an exploration in to new territory for Micronaut, with much thicker textures and heavier beats than the usual fare, while still retaining the signature sound and song structures the band is known for.
Europa
A brooding and introspective piece of melodic electronica, Micronaut's fourth album is dark and cinematic, with twisting synth lines and disjointed drum-beats vying for attention amid a thick bed of drones and found sound.
Ganymede
Micronaut moves further afield with their third release, Ganymede, which explores drum & bass, jungle and tech-step.
Io
Io finds the common ground between breakbeat and trance with a generous dose of NASA thrown in for good measure.
Micronaut s/t
Building from a space-like ambience to a dance floor frenzy, Micronaut's self titled debut album is most commonly refered to as music for sex and dancing!
BASIC
BASIC features four new songs in the genre-spanning style that Micronaut is known for. With the avante-garde electronic pulse of "input" and "output," the acid dub of "miniscope," and the biting techno of "causality," BASIC has a little bit of something for everyone.
Manufactura v Micronaut
A stomping collection of noise beats and drones from KarloZ.M (Manufactura) and Chris Randall (Micronaut). Simultaneously haunting and abrasive, Manufactura v Micronaut will appeal to fans of both IDM and the underground noise scene.
Micronaut, the style-spanning instrumental project of former Sister Machine Gun frontman Chris Randall, draws from the deep tradition of the Chicago electronic music scene, while keeping a definite rock feel with the judicious use of guitars and traditional song structures, instead of the "change every eight measures" formula of most electronic acts. From the arid analog syncopation of the self-titled first album (1998), through the IDM-influenced progressive house and drum 'n' bass rhythms of Io (2000) and Ganymede (2002), to the complex cinematic soundscapes of 2005's Europa, Micronaut releases have kept pace with the current state of electronic music, while carving out a niche that is distinct at the same time.

The Micronaut project was begun in 1997 by Randall as an vehicle for releasing music that wasn't necessarily appropriate to the "industrial music" fans of Sister Machine Gun; by 2005, with the release of Europa and the Noise To Signal tour with label-mates Amish Rake Fight, Micronaut had morphed in to a project that could stand on its own. Indeed, Micronaut has superseded Sister Machine Gun to be Randall's main creative outlet, while numerous appearances in the soundtracks of video games and television shows have led to wider recognition and acceptance to join with the critical acclaim each release garners.

Callisto, the next Micronaut release, will take the filmscapes and sophisticated rhythms of Europa a step further. "I've really started to pay attention to the music in movies, how it works with the images for sort of an emotional body-blow," says Randall. "My ultimate goal is to make an album that doesn't need a movie at all, but is a soundtrack that evokes imagery on its own."

Hey guys,

Thank you for adding T.M.K.

It's a fledgling project, so if you like what you hear, check out the progress from time to time.

Europa is a great album to drive to at night... Feels like a soundtrack to some movie I'm unknowingly starring in. Keep the good shit coming!

I appreciate your support.
