iRedux is a Sound & Music Re-Appropriation and Re-Interpretation System for Gallery Installation & Live Performance.

The system was designed by Oliver Farshi, a composer and sound artist based in Helsinki, Finland.

About iRedux

iRedux aims to generate discourse surrounding issues fundamental to music download-culture  – those of ownership and authorship.

Through a combination of pre-set digital signal processes and aleatoric remixing, iRedux generates unique and original music, utilising the compositions of other composers.

iRedux will re-appropriate an album, chewing up old music and giving birth to new sounds – using the original album as inspiration whilst simultaneously corrupting and destroying it.
