Chris also collaborates with Wade Alin from Christ Analogue on the IDM project Scanalyzer. In 2015 he rebanded Sister Machine Gun to release The Future Unformed on WTII.

YACHT Controversy

In January 2009, Pitchfork reported that Jona Bechtolt of YACHT publicly admitted to using pirated versions of Audio Damage software. The statements resulted in three and a half-year legal battle between Bechtolt and Randall, in what Pitchfork described as a "Nerd Flame War."[3]
