Comment: this long-running track is a fine example of ghostly drone ambient which involves an array of barely audible vibes, phase changes, and exhausting flickers. Yet, despite its minimalist framework it does have huge impact on the listener. Conceptually Constantine Katsiris` work is dedicated to the abandoned buildings and grain elevators in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. This 14-minute composition can be compared with other Canadian musicians like Tim Hecker, and Loscil. The track is apart of Katsiris` album Swift Current. Very impressive.
