More Info

"PARALUX is a nickname known for collaborating with her images on the live concerts of Tzesne. This is her first published work. Two video pieces that are produced far away from from the speed of the live context, two re-composed films made from the material collected from her performances. Video-ambient to be enjoyed at home!" [label info]

"The first release by Paralux, an 'one woman visual band' with the DVD-R as her first release, containing two short films with soundtracks. The music is dark but in 'Lux-ed' there is a very nice, desolate trumpet that almost sound like 'The Last Post', against a wall of dark humming synthesizers. Visually it is a bit of an assembly of pictures that don't seem to make much sense. In 'La Laguna' the sea plays an important role, both in the visuals as well as in the music. It seems that what was filmed was also taped and only slightly processed. Wind blows straight into the microphone. I must admit I liked the music from the first film and the images of the second. Both mastered the excitement of ambient music, but in both pieces there is also something lacking. Nevertheless it's a most promising start." [FdW / Vital Weekly]
