A collaboration between Germany's Ralf Wehowsky and New Zealand's Richard Francis. On a trip from Auckland over Worpswede to Eggenstein, Richard Francis visited Ralf Wehowsky in September 2013. For the recording sessions Richard used his analogue synth and electronics, while Ralf had a desktop and a laptop for producing digital electronic sounds. For bridging the antagonistic sound worlds the input of one sound system was fed with the output of the other and vice versa.
"On the opener the music becomes almost like a cosmic synthesizer scape or something working with sine waves... the spaciousness of this piece works very well as an introduction to what's coming... It has that complexity that we know from RLW, the aspect of multi-layered sound, the collage approach we know from musique concrète... Francis' modular electronics move around like snowflakes, like corroded spaceships, or simply recall what we call 'early electronics'... The rusty spaceship and explosions of dark matter cause massive disruption, as noise isn't kept out of the equation... a bumpy ride, neatly going all over the place, from strict noise to sheer silence, from densely orchestrated nightmares to single lines floating about... " (Vital Weekly).
