Experimental improv; fairly long pieces full of sustained tension. Dark soundscapes with lots of synth and laptop work; piano from the modern-classical camp; and drums with some jazz influence, in a vicious slashing way.
1- (11:45) Dark but fairly calm and steady start. Waves of hard-digging sounds from the synth. A darkly buzzing and needling sort of stillness; sometimes sparse but not quiet overall. A thicker, wilder clamour builds in the last 4 minutes (awesome).
2- (19:31) VERY quiet start. Scattery near-classical piano in a slowish, dark setting. Drum solo, into a mid/fast flow, a dark improv with ghostly vocals and intense synth swells. Around -8:00, it quiets down to a stillness, then surges back with ferocity before a long, tense cooldown phase.
3- (9:46) Eerie swirling tone. Slows down, adds deep piano. Later, blossoms into a loud sprawl.
