"Richard Barrett and Paul Obermayer (electronics) perform a semi-composed extended suite, plus an improvised tribute to Stockhausen. (2008/9).
'Too often, critics make an automatic separation between 'emotion' and 'intellect', a framework which will get one nowhere with Furt. Instead, their music shows graphically how fused, how inseparable are the two. As Richard Barrett puts it: 'The music is motivated by emotional and sensual considerations as much as by anything else. Without wishing to sound too pretentious I think it's concerned with finding and exploring (musical) states of consciousness to which the word 'ecstasy' might well be completely appropriate (at least in an etymological sense).''
-- From the notes by David Grundy."
