Not so much ‘music’ as sound drawings or paintings:
there is something quite visual, or sculptural,
about these presentations: the way the space is created
via the play of light and shade in the minimal arrangements,
and the kaleidoscopic variations within these: line crossing
over line, creating forms that briefly coalesce
together creating recordings possibly of the
impressions of a rarified space and its afterlife in
memory.

Although it might be mistaken to assume a diagrammatic
rather than an organic quality, as the spaces do tend
towards the organic, rather more like paintings, or
drawings, as opposed to diagrams.

There is an analogue quality at work here despite the
( assumed ) ‘digital’ production process. The
voicings, and the ambience (are we still allowed to
use that word?) are similar to some of Fridges
compositions, like on ‘Happiness’, but more abstracted
and less rhythmically dynamic. This creates a
confident presentation, not trying to be more
sophisticated than they need to be, a quite contented
and philosophical art-music in many ways. Or, put
another way, a kind of collation of radioactive
artefacts, the sound literally trickling and sparkling
along at times, at others somewhat more hesitant and
haphazard. The sound presence takes place in quite a
dignified and thoughtful, unrushed way.
