Constantly flowing in new directions and pathways, the songs on "Trillium" move and grow in such a way as to suggest to me a living entity brought to life through alchemy rather than biology. Use of tones in a percussive manner, lush sounds that evolve and reshape themselves, the sense of "breathing" pulses, they all give form to a new entity, a new lifeform. Tracing through the womb-like sounds of disc-opener "Imatra", to the self-discovery implied in "Alta" and the soft reflections of "Lua", and ending with the percussive summation of "Ganymede", "Trillium" is a work that I believe runs parallel to our own life experiences, our own existence. It's a disc that I think we can all identify with, and a work that it's listeners will carry inside for some time to come. Beautiful and inspired. rik maclean - rik@pingthings.com http://www.pingthings.com = ambient + electronic + chill things Send an e-mail to pingthings-subscribe@yahoogroups.com for updates on *all* the latest releases on sale at ping things . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
