A note from Tony Buck.

An incredibly dense matrix of interwoven voices and layers, each occupying and exploiting a unique space within the fabric of the sound-environment, co-existing to slowly reveal themselves in multiple interconnected relationships.

Each voice devised to representation the instruments most resonant voice, claiming a unique location in the massed sonic field, not only in terms of register, timbre or rhythmic density, but also in relation to the unique and most sonorous characteristic inherent in each instrumental sound-source itself.

The consequence of such a layering of independent autonomous sounds is the emergence of discrete utterances, asserting themselves and divulging their concealed properties and distinctive qualities in ever changing contexts. Over the course of the ensuing nearly two hours, each voice finds a place to shine in a myriad of seemingly endless, living/ breathing permutations, creating a slowly changing tapestry of mood and intensity contributing to make the experience a fresh encounter on each successive listen.
