Comment: this 31-minute buildup is of high quality being expressed both in composition and narrative and thereby constituting an intriguing trip for a choosy listener. More profoundly, it is made up of field recordings of a rainy day and eerie electro-acoustic clatter and monochromatic but lively drones slowly and elegantly lurking beneath and swaying atop. The artist exploits field recordings of his own, John Grzinich, Jim Haynes, Yirogis Sakellariou, Eamon Sprod, and Simon Whetham. The issue is a part of the discography of Portugal-based imprint Crònica.
