Nice background listening, that is close to the edge of new age, but which is of course way too dark to be big in those areas. This deviates slightly from the concept of this series, but I suppose if Mr The Aphex Twin can get away with this type of maneuver, then Mr Duncan might as well give it a bash. There are five tracks on this CD, one of which is a collaboration, and two of which are untitled. Track 2 reeks of danger - indistinct voices lurk, then loom behind a malfunctioning electric fence. The dark air quivers like heatwaves rising off asphalt.
Soft rustle spreads itself like slow rust.
Wet wind whistles and chatters - it's closing aperture ends this untitled piece. The collaboration is titled 'L'Attesa' - something hesitates beyond the perimeter, plucks up power and bursts closer to look and take. Big breaths from a persistent, ticktocking pendulum. Then there's the sound of blood rushing through empty temples, and finally the aptly titled 'Scramble' documents voices babelbabbling from the pit, while their guardian strums an infinite monochord. German inventor Christof Schlage has spent several years developing MIDI controlled mechanical machines and composing pieces for them, or presenting them as installations at manifestations through Europe.
