Comment:
although Cousin Silas' one-track composition of a 74 minute is very
austere throughout
the course it does provide a strong impact on the listener's senses
and especially on imagination. Just being embedded in a spaced-out
droning with some atmospheric guitar arcs and lifting up to
half-orchestrated progressions at times. On the other side, just
trying to resect the drone one can hear higher and lower frequencies
buzzing around which melt together to provide an imagination of a
space shuttle moving on a billions of miles away from Earth. Rushing
on the light speed yet in the middle of that slight void it seems
like staying at one and the same point and instead of it all the
space used to shift in comparison to the rocket. All is relative and
conditional in fact, the same can be said about the nature of the
issue. All is staying and changing at the same time. And could you
feel yourself as one and the same person you used to be before? I
guess your perception is more saturated and the feel of reality is
more lifted up than before. That's a seductive simulacrum for the
human race as possible conquerors of Outer Space. However, this
possibility to come to fruition is very low and thereby our
obligation is to protect and sustain our beautiful planet. The
fabulous outing is a part in the discography of The Cerebral Rift (more profoundly, CerebralAudio as its musical offshoot).
