Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating directly at the intersection of modern classical composition and experimental electronica, Australian composer Paul Sch眉tze creates a deeply unsettling, highly cinematic environment on 'Apart'. The album relies entirely on heavily processed percussion, sparse jazz instrumentation, and suffocating dark ambient drones to simulate vast, highly isolating architectural spaces. It is a profoundly hypnotic, intellectually demanding masterpiece of 90s avant-garde sound design.
