Robert Henke presents VLSI under his Monolake alias. In the late 1970s, a series of significant enhancements in technology further accelerated the evolution of the digital age. Graphical interfaces, networked computers and new software tools allowed the design and manufacturing of integrated circuits with tens of thousands of functions on one chip; a process called Very Large Scale Integration - VLSI. The structures became so complex, that for the first time computers were needed to build the next generation of even faster computers. As a result of that evolution, the heart of a computer could now be put onto a single chip - the microprocessor was born. Amongst other developments, it enabled the creation of completely new electronic musical instruments: digital sound generators, drum machines, samplers and effects. Most of the signature sounds on VLSI were programmed using early digital synthesizers; machines built by individuals or small teams of adventurous engineers and music enthusiasts during the 1980s. VLSI is sonic archeology. Tiny artifacts of the instruments used have been carefully excavated and brought to new light. What was once perceived as limitation and dirt can now be experienced as character, color and patina. The interaction with these machines guided a minimalist and structural approach to sound and rhythm, expanded and re-contextualized into a futuristic soundtrack, utilizing the recording technology of 2016. The result is inspired by early techno, UK breakbeat and dubstep, African dance rhythms, future glitch, ambient and a variety of academic computer music. The concept for VLSI emerged during an artist residency at the Center for Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University in 2013, which helped Henke understand not only some deeper technical aspects of his trade, but also the social and cultural peculiarities of Silicon Valley. Thus, VLSI is also a reflection of social, economic and political topics driven by high tech companies more powerful than governments, hence the dystopian undercurrent. Some of the "historic" instruments used: Alesis Quadraverb, Dynacord DRP-20, E-mu Systems SP-12, Turbo Ensoniq ASR-10R, Eventide Eclipse H3000, Lexicon PCM-80 480L, Korg DDD-1, Linn Linn Drum NED Synclavier II, Oberheim Xpander PPG Wave 2.3, Quantec Yardstick, SCI Prophet VS, Yamaha DX27 DX7. VLSI marks the endpoint of a series of six EPs, released between 2014-2016. "Pio" is co-produced by Electric Indigo. Mixed by Mark Ernestus and Robert Henke.

Very hard
Flavor Name: Chicken
These were so hard and dry my Great Dane could barely get through it. I ended up throwing them away.

The Best for My Furry Friend

My dog was instantly attracted to the aroma and flavor. Unlike some other treats, these pig ears are roasted to perfection, ensuring a rich and savory taste that my dog can't get enough of. **Health Benefits:** One of the standout features of Scott Pet GRILLERZ Pig Ears is their natural composition. They are free from artificial preservatives, flavors, and colors, making them a healthy and safe option for my dog. Additionally, these treats help promote dental health by reducing plaque and tartar buildup as my dog chews on them. **Longevity:** These pig ears are long-lasting, providing my dog with hours of enjoyment. This is particularly beneficial for keeping him occupied and mentally stimulated, which is crucial for his overall well-being. I have found that one ear can keep my dog entertained for a significant amount of time, making it a cost-effective treat option. **Packaging:** The packaging is sturdy and resealable, ensuring the treats remain fresh between uses. This is a thoughtful touch that I appreciate, as it maintains the quality of the product over time. **Price:** Considering the quality and quantity of the pig ears, the price point is quite reasonable. It offers great value for money, especially when compared to other similar products on the market. **Conclusion:** Overall, the Scott Pet GRILLERZ Pig Ears 12CT are a fantastic choice for any dog owner looking to provide their pet with a delicious and healthy treat.

Healthy, natural treat my dogs actually love—no mess!
Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
These pig ears are the perfect natural alternative to rawhide. All three of my dogs go crazy for them, and I feel good giving them a single-ingredient treat. What I used them for: Occasional chew treats for my three dogs. Pros: Single-ingredient, natural treat Dogs love the taste and texture Doesn’t stain or leave a mess despite slobber Good size for medium to large dogs Cons: Can be a bit odorous out of the bag (minor) Real experience: I’ve given these to all three dogs multiple times, and each one enjoys them equally. Unlike some rawhide or flavored chews, these don’t leave stains or get mushy—cleanup is easy, which I really appreciate. Comparison: Much healthier and cleaner than rawhide chews or flavored alternatives, but still keeps dogs occupied for a similar amount of time. Final verdict: If you want a natural, low-mess chew for dogs who love to gnaw, these pig ears are a solid choice.
