More Info

"This is a drone record. Piano sustain pedal depressed and released activates resonanacy in all strings. Microphone placed inside the piano records these as a moving aural landscape punctuated by giant footsteps of the pedal. 5 minutes deep in this world a burst of sound of one note ripping forwards and backwards cuts into pleasant reverie for a few seconds, than melancholy of vivisected piano returns and increases in intensity. Upon reaching it's conclusion, single note of the same piano replaces it. Through rhythmical permutations this note creates a drone inviting strings. Pedal adds a forward movement. At a given point whole body of sound shifts up a semitone, changes colour, keeps increasing in complexity until final climax.
Crow eye hint comes on CD pressed from a glass master in a case handmade from pine veneers and canvass. Includes two woodcut prints."
