In Silico is an album by the American

nuskool breaks to techno.[1]

Production

The title refers to the largely computer-based production methods employed during its creation, where the bulk of the music was composed using

sunken cost of the hardware they already had at hand, but eventually admitted that "it's tighter, it's easier to work with, and it's cleaner".[1]

According to Scott G., "about 75 percent of the album", including the stutter edits, "was done using the EXS-24", Logic's stock sampler,[1] while various synth sounds - such as the filter sweeps from the Roland JP-8000 that begin the album - were printed to 24-bit digital audio using an Apogee PSX-100 ADC.[1]
