Background and composition

Vogt first started producing Two Fold Pt. 2 in mid-2015, roughly a year after the release of his previous album, Two Fold Pt. 1 . Vogt aimed to musically represent the concept of duality further compared to Two Fold Pt. 1 as he felt that the album could have done better at representing the concept behind the album and aimed to do so for Two Fold Pt. 2. [8]

A North-American tour titled "Two Fold Pt. 2 Tour" was debuted on 11 February 2016. When speaking of the tour, Vogt stated:

One of my goals for the next year is to focus heavily on bridging the gap between the production and the performance of my music. I’d like to imagine that I would find a way to build my sets and music in general around my love for keyboard improvisation without losing fidelity. Hopefully, through the Two Fold Pt. 2 tour, I will come closer to realizing this goal. [6]

Reception and release

Two Fold Pt. 2 was released on 8 February 2016 to positive reviews. Chad Downs of Raver Rafting described the album as "as harmonious, balanced, and enjoyable as fans had anticipated". [3] Matthew Meadow of YourEDM praised the album, stating "It’s difficult to really compare one part of the Two Fold series to the other… so I won’t. All I will say is that Pt. 2 is a phenomenally well-produced album and a perfect follow-up to one of our favourite albums of 2014." [1] Michael Sundius of Billboard stated "Forward-thinking, yet conscious of the past, his work as Haywyre is both innovative and tasteful." [6]
