"A slow, very long, electronic build-up -- a micro-tonal score, using a white-noise generator as its sole sound source, played by three dancers/musicians whose infinitesimally slow movements are 'captured' by web-cams and 'mapped' to all the parameters of a real-time digital synthesis engine -- frequency, amplitude, ambitus, granular re-synth parameters. The white noise, sculpted by those filters and manipulations, produces a polyphony of drones, oscillations, movements of electricity -- a long electronic ascension."

First releases on a new French experimental label, each packaged rather elegantly in fold out digipaks. "The first solo CD of Kasper T. Toeplitz which illustrates the first side of his work. It gathers together three pieces that actually, create one work. The first track, 'In Den Gängen' is an electroacoustic music, linear, progressive, made of oscillations and vibrations, that may remind of some works by Jim O'Rourke, Hafler Trio and some Swedish artists such as Phauss/C.M. Von Hausswolf and Zbiegniew Karkowsky (who has also worked with Toeplitz). This first piece introduces 'Steinshlag,' a work for soprano solo similar by some aspects to L. Berio and L. Nono. 'Steinschlag' is performed by Isabel Soccoja, a young singer who already interpreted Berio, Cage, Scelsi and Nono. 'Vague de Pas' is the conclusion of the CD. It's a slow rise made of one soundwave that introduces percussion's (Didier Casalmijana: Tam solo) to create music close to Scelsi. A very good introduction into the unusual universe of this promising musician."
