Unigmatiq Unsoniq by Libythth
Unigmatiq Unsoniq is an overwhelming collection of 62 tracks produced by Libythth between 1994 and 1996 in Providence, Rhode Island. One single instrument was used to create all of these tracks - the mighty Ensoniq TS12 synthesizer!
That absolute beast of a keyboard had an amazing set of features for its time and no one took its capabilities deeper into uncharted space than Libythth. No longer limited to tinkering with unreliable patched together equipment to get the expleptic sound it wanted, Libythth now had an all in one sequencing environment in which to conjure alien instrument combinations, dissonant tunings, unconventional song structures, and pure shameless cacophony with the new magical ability to store everything on FLAPPY DISK.
An endless synthetic fracturing of musical influences - techno, prog, shoegaze, jazz, hip hop and math rock, focused through a prism of intense weirdness. Goatees were scratched, and eyebrow piercings furrowed as a small number of 90s music fans attempted to make sense of Libythth and decided it’s “just not my cup of tea”.
A lot of this has been released before at one time or another. Some versions were ripped from cassette and made available on the internet temporarily. Later finished versions of a few of these songs appear on the 1998 album Save As: Moot with added vocals. In fact, most of the songs included on Unigmatiq Unsoniq were originally intended to have vocals, probably a lot of awkward rap-shouting that was better left unwritten. This new collection is all freshly recorded and remastered.
Unigmatiq Unsoniq is the original soundtrack to countless cult films, psychedelic cartoons and avant-garde video games that will never exist. This is three and a half hours of the best outsider electronic music ever made.

Electronica's rarest cryptid since 1993
The profound impact Libythth has had on electronic music is purely theoretical and the full prunt of its influence on countless nonexistent artists cannot be measured by any stick.
