Part 2/3 from my 2022 Shuffle Albums trilogy.
Each album is made up of a lot of very short tracks containing just one or a few notes each, and the idea is to play them on shuffle and get a never ending, never repeating tune.
Because the number of tracks on these albums turned out to be way more than Bandcamp can currently handle, I had to start a website to host them (and maybe more stuff? Let's see) with the help of my sweet friend Dodo. I tried communicating with the Bandcamp support team so the albums can appear here in their full form but all my efforts turned out unsuccessful, therefore at this time the only way to obtain them and subsequently experience the true shuffle magic is through my website:
arielmyfriend.com/shufflealbums2022
I want to express my deepest thankfulness to Dodo my friend for both the website and for attempting some very sophisticated programming trickery (which almost worked!!) for putting the albums on Bandcamp.
Also my greatest thanks to Moria Rabbani, who took the photo of the artworks for the cover arts!

The idea of a shuffle album first came to my mind around 2014/2015 and was in fact the thought behind my 2017 album Debris, with very short songs that have no beginning and no end, creating a never ending tune. Eventually though, Debris didn't give me the result I really wanted in the sense of a consistent random song/tune. The idea came back to my head as a never-ending random flute melody on November 29, 2022, and the random drumbeat album came a few minutes later. The idea for a third, random bassline album came the day after, with the possibility in mind of playing them together at the same time to create a random orchestra. And so, the first three weeks of December 2022 were dedicated to completing and releasing this trilogy.
