lyrics

This piece was constructed from various recordings made on my “Kameruka” Serge system throughout 2022, with some additional layers of Eurorack modular added. Listening back to the work, there was something about the chaotic interplay between the materials that suggested friction to me, a process in which some energy is always lost.

The album which first introduced me to ambient, although not the first one I owned... an experience that is both wistful and soothing, never too dark yet not suited to being described as joyful. One of Hainbach's finest works. Dimitriy Dzyuba
