Moments Worth Listening For

The moment on 'Grigio' where Audrey Chen's cello emerges from the dense, circular drum patterns, cutting through the rhythm like a sharp blade.

The hypnotic, dizzying panning effect on 'Abito' created by Attila Faravelli's custom rotating speakers.

The slow, tribal crescendo of 'Passo' where the drums lock into a relentless, Can-like groove against a backdrop of warm, buzzing synthesizers.
