Sunroof, aka Daniel Miller & Gareth Jones, release their brand new album, Electronic Music Improvisations Volume 3, via Mute’s Parallel Series.

Electronic Music Improvisations Volume 3 is a collection of nine improvised tracks, recorded using the duo’s Eurorack modular systems, and builds upon the self-imposed parameters laid out on their 2021 debut.

Daniel Miller, the Founder and Chairman of Mute, and Gareth Jones, producer and engineer, notable for working with Depeche Mode, Einstürzende Neubauten, Erasure and Yann Tiersen, have been collaborating for four decades. Although neither dwell on their past work, preferring to constantly explore new ways to create, Miller and Mute’s legacy is given a nod on the track ‘Splendid’ which opens with the distinct hiss of cassette over a rhythmic heartbeat before oscillators burst and collide. This track was recorded using the original 4-track TEAC that Miller picked up second hand in the late 70s and recorded The Normal’s ‘Warm Leatherette’ 7” on.

This record follows their debut Electronic Music Improvisations Vol.1 (2021) and second album Electronic Music Improvisations Vol.2 (2023), along with their Bandcamp exclusive release Electronic Music Improvisations Live in London and Frankfurt, which captured their live shows at Frankfurt’s Museum of Modern Electronic Music and London’s IKLECTIK.
