On his second LP, the Berlin-based musician opens himself to chance and presents a vision of techno that harnesses randomness for all its potential. He emerges a more remarkable musician than ever. In a press release accompanying the album, Barker cited scholar and statistician Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s concept of “antifragility” as a source of inspiration. To be antifragile is to benefit from chaos, to thrive on adversity, and grow in proportion to your experience. Stochastic Drift is the sound of an artist and his work fracturing again and again, becoming more durable every time.
