Album Notes & Community Reviews
This sprawling, deeply abstract electroacoustic improvisation pairs the massive electronic ensemble MIMEO with the delicate piano work of AMM veteran John Tilbury. Recorded in Bologna, the piece is an exercise in extreme, suspenseful dissonance, slowly morphing from hushed, glitchy textures into a chaotic, overwhelming digital climax.
