about

In the depths of the fleeing galaxies
Where the young turbulent nebulae shine
The white dwarfs in infinite expansion
Creep all up at the hair of the Blue Giant
Let us measure the weight, the step, the pulse, the shiver
Of the dust of ELECTRICITY which lives in each one

I have been drawn in without end by the sound of unstable electricity under attempted control. I love those moments where I thought I might actually be getting electrocuted, that is how organic things can sound in beautifully unstable analog synths.
Playing and manipulating a piano soundboard brings an extreme pleasure because its possibilities are so infinite.
Clothes pegs or other objects on and between the strings + the use of cotton or kleenex on the resonant structure or on some of the sticks to create surprising tones. Rubbing paper, wood, aluminium and used plastic on/between/against the strings. Scratched, banged with rubber, metal, cotton, straws, ping-pong balls, an eraser and other tools to develop unexpected percussive sounds. Each preparation, each object slipped between the strings or rubbed against them changes the situation, it's a bit like having a concrete symphony orchestra in your hands…

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

This album will grow on you. Listen in headphones or earbuds. It will blow your mind. Steve has so many amazing textures and dimensions on this release. It's hard to pick a favorite track. Probably in his top 5, if there is such a thing. 53Guitarman
