factory floor: heart of data/babel

Factory Floor was commissioned by London's Science Museum to write a brand new live score for Fritz Lang's 1927 silent cinematic landmark, Metropolis. The 150-minute score was performed in April 2017 and coincided with the 90th anniversary release of Metropolis. This 12" marks the first release on Factory Floor's own imprint, Heart Of Data Records. An inspired six-and-half minute track, "Heart Of Data" is an animated modular synth groove sets in motion the atmospheric textures within the spatial arrangement. "Babel" traverses many scenes in the film and retains a transient meditative pulse in pursuit of space and time.
