Cosmic Crisis Part 1 a lovely spaced out floating morass of sound and easy rhythm, like a tuneful asteroid cloud. Nice minimalism for a minimalist space and time. Part 2 of Cosmic Crisis is somewhat more dynamic, with a more evident structure and more apparent movement and development of this particular duo. The echoing construction seems even deeper and more spacious, with a nice ending.
Convexity Part 1 bulges with billowing synthetic movements in a mid-paced space. Quite dark in feel, in a serious way. Lovely variations on the theme as the piece progresses. Part 2 of Convexity, is lighter in its minimalist essence. The convexity thus expressed makes me think of one of those pieces of art that trick the eye in that it could be coming out at you as much as deepening. Like aural Escher in a curiously perspectivised construction. Nice track.
Moraine Part 1 slowly grinds into existence and makes its presence felt, with lovely variations of slow motion synthesis. Elegant and unstoppable. Even though it keeps trying to stop it cannot halt its movement, millimetre by millimetre, unseen by the naked eye. Its progress inevitable and fateful. Some beautiful sounds accompanying the movement. Part 2 continues the thread, though it is more fullsome at the start, sounder sound expression, whereas the former was more erratic to begin with. It is a track that conveys an acceptance of the fateful journey, the necessary expanse and current of natural phenomena by means of digital musical expression, seems almost contradictory. It peters away, grinding to dust almost, though there is some reprise as it discovers new material to work on. Nice album.
