Album Notes & Community Reviews

David Cunningham applies strict minimalist and aleatoric concepts to create a fascinating exercise in indeterminacy. Using tape loops and non-traditional instruments, the compositions explore repetitive dissonance and avant-garde structural theories. It highlights the deeply experimental wing of the British post-classical underground.
