The three works on offer are based on a 65 page text score, and utilize a modular synthesizer to create perpetually evolving, drone-based textures, combined with manipulated field-recordings, and bound together in avant-garde, minimalist structures. From these limited sonic materials, a rich sound-world is created, and repeated again and again in different contexts and modes, sometimes ambient, sometimes noisy, the work is a sea of perpetual yet barely perceptible changes. Available on virgin white cassette with accompanying 60 page graphic score book. For fans of: La Monte Young, Keith Fullerton Whitman, Charlemagne Palestine, Oren Ambarchi, Demdike Stare."
