Legowelt produced Unconditional Contours during his time as artist-in-residence at the Swiss Museum & Centre for Electronic Music Instruments, subsequently delving into their collection of over 5,000 synthesizers, organs, drum machines and effects.

“When I first saw this collection, I was truly flabbergasted. Endless rows of synthesizers – some so obscure I had not ever seen nor heard of them,” shares Legowelt.

For the album, the Dutch producer used the Farfisa Synthorchestra, EVS-1 Evolution and the “shittiest rompler ever made”, amongst others.

Unconditional Contours follows the release of Legowelt’s Schaduw Horizon album under his Sammy Osmo alias on vinyl for the first time.
